Haha good meme
Now I am legitetmently confused.
To further clarify, let me explain why I see this as TTV nearing itâs end. Letâs turn to their channel, because thatâs the bread and butter. Letâs look at two VERY important bits of information; their subs and views.
Here is their subscriber count
and here is their latest video, posted 6 days ago. Out of 48,000 people, only 900-ish are watching? That does not bode well.
But letâs go further, letâs look at their like/dislikes and comments:
Only 50 people liked that video, and 9 disliked it. Then, there are only 41 comments on the video.
TTV has been headed down this path for quite some time. I noticed it months ago, around the time Eljay got fired/left. Their views and stuff have only declined since I last saw them. Needless to say, I just donât see things lasting much longer. Thatâs both unfortunate for their fanbase, and for people like me who are on the Boards for the community and platform.
Very negative. Hereâs the thing: most people donât come to TTV for their reviews, they can look up many others who do the same thing (besides Recap). So Iâm not really surprised by this. Also, TTV isnât in it for the views, subscribers, likes, comments, or even mula. They do it because itâs what they enjoy. I think it is unfair to judge them from this one video, while theyâve survived for years.
So is there going to be TTV factions now?
Oh. Huh.
It feels strange to be hearing this about Jon. I guess Iâll just wait until an explanation comes around.
I doubt we will be getting much more of an explanation any time soon.
Well sure, if I go back to their Prime Time in 2014 the numbers are completely different. Like, everyone has their own reasons for liking or disliking TTV, and Iâm not trying to change that.
But let me put it to you this way, in order for them to keep doing what they like doing, they need to have the fanbase/views and stuff. If not enough people are tuning in for the content thatâs being made in the here and now, then how will TTV as a channel survive?
Like, Iâm not even trying to be a pessimist, Iâm just being logical and going by numbers and what I know. So take what I think with a grain of salt if you donât concur. I totally get and understand if you donât feel the same way. Iâm just putting my opinion out there is all.
i doupt there will be one, because as far as i remember, there have not been an explenation given for why Eljay left. So if this is true, then i doupt they will give an explenation for this as well.
By the way, am i the only one here who finds it a bit unnerving when someone who has also recently declared that they are leaving, then give a like to a topic about someone else leaving?
I think itâs not a good idea to draw those sorts of opinions from one video. Thereâs a video sitting at 1.1k from 2 days ago and one at 4.9k views from a week ago.
Similarly if you look at the archive channel where they post all their podcasts they have 331 subs and most videos hitting around that mark for viewers
I think theyâll keep going based on the 169 views the latest video has.
Sorry if I came as a little argumentative in my last post.
If itâs like Eljayâs case, we wonât get one at all.
Yeah, I donât know. I took a good scroll through TTVâs content and its view count on average, but most particularly the âTTV podcastsâ and âBrickfeedâ for being consecutive series-type podcasts more aimed at returning viewers (where as things like âM.O.C. Spotlightâ can be more of a one-time channel visit). Their views from year from now (before Eljay got fired) up to now have consistently been staying around the 1.5-2.0k view range, as an approximate average. This is without the fact that you are judging currently uploaded content to videos that might be six or more months older than it.
I would more say that TTVâs issue is that they have been staying in one area with their views and such, rather than dropping in said views.
Whilst I donât expect an explanation I do think the apology to viewers and the thanks for continued support rings a bit hollow without one.
They donât have to tell anyone their private details or the like but to go âwe messed up sorry and thanks for sticking around oh but we wonât tell you what we messed upâ seems like trying avoid the actual consequences. How can people know whether to continue to support or forgive they donât know what happened in the first place?
Yeah. The most we got was when Eljay himself made his separate statement video.
Listen, In my mind I am by no means entitled to an explanation. I think the safety of the cast should come first, and if that means no explanation, then thats okay IMO.
Alright people, place your bets. Whose going to get the ax next? /s
In all seriousness, Iâm conflicted by this. Jon has always been my least favorite cast member, always coming off as slightly pretentious in some areas, IMO, but overall he seemed like a nice enough guy. He always gave updates in the Patron Discord Chat and was usually pretty friendly and there were some good discussions to be had. To see this happen out of the blue, and it does seem out of the blue this time is shocking, but itâs not like Iâm exactly sad to see him go per se.
At the end of the day, I hope this brings the current cast members closer together and serves as a point for nothing but improvement going forward. Wishing you guys the best of luck.
LMAO
TTV is dead
I agree we arenât entitled to one and that the cast and crew safety should be the number 1 priority. If TTV had just said something similar to the eljay scenario is have nothing more to add but to come out and say âwe failedâ and thanks for the continuing support without giving even general details about the situation seems off to me. They arguably were more forthcoming about the eljay situation than this and probably more so than they needed to be.
Given the nature of the statement speculation is going to run wild about what happened and it will inevitably lead to some people jumping to some pretty extreme conclusions, especially in conjunction with prpl leaving even though that could easily be completely unrelated.
It doesnât need to be intimate private details, other names shouldnât be mentioned but for this action to actually mean something they shouldnât be even more vague than when eljay was fired.
Yeah, it does say something when you fire another long term member with an answer more vague than âpersonal conflicts.â
Like Prentice, I was never a huge fan of Jon, but itâs still sad to see him go. Hopefully he does well in his future endeavors, whatever those may be.
Now, there are some people who feel TTV is nearing the end with all thatâs happened in the past couple of months. Personally, I want people to think of this as the rebirth of TTV, not the beginning of the end for them
