I had no idea who these clowns were before. I'd wager that they make some really powerful partnerships in the near future enabled by the publicity

- bdcravens 11y agoThey had some big partnerships before this. They did "reaction videos" for movies, brands, etc: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/43g6em/fine_brothers_sponsor_list/ https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/43g6em/fine_brothe... I think the risk was losing those sponsors due to the backlash to their licensing plans.
- goldenkey 11y agoWhen I made my comment, it was with the knowledge of the partnerships you mentioned above. To add some knowledge to the conversation, they also netted a show on TruTV called Six Degrees of Everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Everything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Everything I still mean what I said, they potentially will get contacted by people with too much money on their hands, to try to capitalize on their new publicity & media spotlight. The publicity probably helped them if anything.. They play the whole "we are sorry we were misinterpreted, oops, we are going to revert/retract the trademarks and the react world idea." And no one can really say that the fine bros were purely malice.. So you might consider it bad publicity, but really, it was good publicity. All they had to do was retract an idea that would have probably failed anyways. They went from YouTube famous to actual celebrity / news famous. That's not an easy line to cross.
