No idea but apparently views fell by half
I imagine a good chunk of those watching were just curious what kind of shit show they were about to watch.
One of those drops in the bucket was me. I have unsubscribed and moved on.
Their show was mainly interesting precisely because there were multiple people, with a range of views, that still civilly discussed issues together.
The nail in the coffin was how terribly the whole thing was handled. A tweet, not even by the official Timcast channel? Followed by silence? And the show being cancelled for that day? And then just 'for personal reasons'?
Yeah, no thank you. That's exactly the sort of thing that I would have expected Tim to call out had someone else done it. And then Tim did it.
If they had, oh, had Adam mention on-show that he was leaving, and continued having their usual discourse for the rest of that show? Things might have been different.
As-is, the entire thing left a bad taste in my mouth. From the outside, regardless of what actually happened, it was indistinguishable from them having a fight and breaking up. Rather ironic for a show whose main calling card was precisely that they had multiple different views and yet could still work together and discuss things.
The live streams are far more financially secure as you can theoretically just move to anew platform like Dlive if Youtube bans you. There isn't really a good alternative platform to make money off advertising for video uploads.
I mean if we assume half watch it for Tim and the other half for Adam then it makes sense it would split like that.
There's the girl but she barelly exists on the show.
What's funny is that even though views dropped by half, dislikes actually increased 5x. Views went from 400k to 200k. Dislikes went from 500 to 2500
She nvr talks
