The ancient halo comedy sketch thing? They weren’t still making those, surely?
Could the advert revenue not be decreasing because fewer people are watching old niche Halo content these days?
Ah well either way, I wish them the best. Those videos certainly gave me a bit of a chuckle :-)
I believe I saw they were still making them recently.
Also they may be talking about ad revenue per view, which would take into account decreased viewership
I think the most recent season was supposed to be the last, though they’re sunsetting a lot of things these days (RIP Achievement Hunter) so I could easily be confused.
The final season™ is in production now after a couple year hiatus.
Main storyline ended back in like 2014 iirc, then they had an anthology non-Canon season of a bunch of different animation styles which was really neat, and then like 3 seasons of weird virtual production unreal engine stuff that I don’t think is Canon?
Either way it’s still being made, but it’s the end. Allegedly.
Distributed content is always good, just hope they have a good way to drive traffic to their site.
Back in the day this was how all Internet content was
I’d love to see a comeback of this.
But it does seem that the web as Toni’s today is dying. There is no better time tech wise to do things the old way.
Poor Toni.
The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.
The soft filter makes me think 90’s FOX sci-fi, but this seems to be a Halo reference. Wut?
I think this was actually from Babylon 5
Edit:
Yep, the vorlons
Solid work, fine person. I knew it looked like one of those, but I only watched TNG.
It’s on iirc Pluto at the moment with Andromeda both bad scifi classics even with Kevin sorbo being a real doucheapotomous.
Honestly, this is probably a good move. I think we’re going to see more and more of this happening in the future. Self hosted media platforms that can partner with other streaming services, that’s my guess as to what will happen. Ironically right back to what life was before YouTube, the main difference now is that self hosting is much cheaper and easier these days comparatively.
Damn. Didn’t realize RvB was still going? I wonder if it is still as funny as I thought it was in high school.
Plot got really convoluted and they started doing a lot of homegrown animation instead of sticking with a pure machinima format, but there are still some funny moments here and there from what I recall.
What?
Look, I know you don’t know me, but you have to believe what I’m about to tell you. Sometime in your future, I get stationed here in Blood Gulch and we meet. And this guy here, he gets promoted to Sergeant of the red army and we spy on them. And they get this new jeep and I’m all like, “There is no way you can pick up chicks in a tank!”
Yeah the headline reads like a schizophrenic wrote it.
I understand they are english words but this makes no sense to me.
We need you to go to the store and get two quarts of elbow grease… and, uh, pick up some… headlight fluid for the Puma too.
They only had this flag…

To bad their website sucks.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rooster Teeth has moved some of its popular content, including most Red vs. Blue seasons, off the YouTube platform entirely and onto its own website.
Rooster Teeth senior writer and showrunner for RWBY Kerry Shawcross posted a video on Thursday announcing the change, explaining that “YouTube revenue is just not cutting it for us right now.”
Shawcross said Rooster Teeth also moved Camp Camp to the site, where episodes will continue to be ad-supported and free to watch.
He added Rooster Teeth gets “approximately 5 – 10 times more value” from ads it runs on its own website, adding that “animation’s hard and it’s expensive.”
He didn’t say specifically what was moved or when, but multiple threads on Reddit from the second half of September say that most of the Red vs. Blue series appeared to have disappeared from YouTube.

Me and a friend were reminiscing about RvB last week and I actually had assumed they just pulled it from YouTube already, guess part of me was just living in the future.
Bring back Rage Quit. It read the only RT show I enjoyed
They did a rage quit compilation thing for the recent 20 year anniversary.
They should post one last video to YouTube that is just Church saying “hhhhhhhnnnnnng… bleh”
So, rather than having some revenue coming in from YouTube, they’d rather force everyone to use their own website? Do they not understand that not everyone watches YouTube on a computer? Some exclusively use the YouTube app on their phones, TVs, or game consoles.
I dunno. It’s not as if it costs them anything to host the videos on YouTube. Seems odd to completely cut off a revenue source like that.
They have apps for phone, TV, and game consoles, though.
And, as far as I’ve always known, those apps are awful. I haven’t checked in awhile though.
YouTube ain’t much better, even if you pay for it.
… So they’re going back to what they started with. Good for them.
Well you don’t have to spend three hours downloading a 240p .mov file, so its a little different.
