At least, some of the recent controversies.

    They definitely have a default description set. Bitching about that kind of small detail is pointless when there are plenty of more serious things to talk about.

        Yeah, people keep making excuses for them.

        “There isn’t enough time, they have to eat and drink and sleep”

        Then delay the video until it’s done. That’s part of the core issues that kicked this whole episode off. Them rushing out videos without care.

          Not trying to make excuses for them, I just think that picking on a low hanging fruit like the description which is more or less exactly the same for every video, feels a bit cheap to me. There are plenty of examples of them being in the wrong with far worse impact than that.

          On YouTube, creators don’t earn anything unless a new video is released frequently. They have to sustain a huge corporation based on that. I think that it’s a bad decision to go for that income structure in the first place, but there they are.

            They chose to financially put themselves in a situation where they are forced to release content at that frequency because they chose to expand operations and drastically increase expenses compared to other channels. It’s their decisions that created the work cycle that is needed in pursuit of exponential growth over a more financially sustainable model that affords the luxury for a less hectic release schedule.

            It’s getting old seeing people keep making they have to do it this way when it is the situation they created for themselves.

      How about the multiple merch plugs in the video itself or that the video was monetized, in direct contrast to the original video from GN not being monetized?

      Perhaps, but I see it as indicative of the problem in general. A slapdash attitude where they don’t pause for a second to consider what they’re actually doing, which, you’d think they might try and do under a 20 minute video where they grovel and scrape and beg forgiveness.

      It’s not a small detail and it’s not pointless to point it out.

      When you messed up so big, you wanna make sure your “we got this, folks” video is impeccable.
