Topic	Who do you side with in the Angry Joe vs Subscribers debate?
UnfairRepresent 07/30/17 11:45:40 AM #1:	In your opinion. Joe. The Fans View Results This is actually an issue that has occured with lots of people since the explosion of "Online content creators" started in the early 2000s, but Joe is probably the biggest and loudest (Maybe with the exception of Spoony) so it's the best example. If you haven't heard of him, Angry Joe is a Hispanic game critic not to be confused with AVGN who makes 20-30 minute long "Angry Review" videos with surprising production value for estentially 2 guys in their house. That blends Youtube comedy skits with serious critical review. He became hugely popular, has over 3 million subscribers as well as his own site with merchendize, is one of the most popular Twich users in the world and has been earning 6 figures comfortably for years. But then controversy struck. His videos have allegedly dropped in quality and factually dropped in amount. He also stopped just doing Game Reviews and now does a lot of Movie Reviews and vlogs about Game of Thrones. He then stated that he is going on a "4 month vacation" from doing Angry Game Reviews because they take too much work and nothing good has come out. His fanbase got furious, hundreds of thousands unsubbed, swarmed his social media, e-mail, real mail and comment sections with bile and death threats and now all of his videos get 50% disike ratios. He has now disabled comments and the like bar (after swearing in 2014 that he would never do so) and even made a video begging people to stop being so mad at him. This has lead to a debate: Who is in the right? Are the angry subscribers right? Joe is a content creator, he's making content they don't like so they are using their first amendment rights to explain that. Joe needs to grow up and handle that. They're the ones giving him their time and money. Or is Joe in the right? Its his channel and are "fans" being nothing more than entitled babies for screaming angrily at him and throwing tantrums because he changed his format to something he prefers for his own channel? http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/4680297/a-j-confusion-o.gif I'm not into Youtube drama but as a Bioware fan I find it facinating because it reminds me so much of the ME3 ending arguments. Only with people instead of crap endings. But who does CE side with? the millions of the nerds? or the one successful nerd? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:883869944] in Who do you...
