Now that the Fine Brothers have made a business out of watching Youtube videos, I'll believe anything.
But, sure, you still have to figure out your place on the market.
- beamatronic 11y agoWithout looking this up, is it anything like MST3K?
- wavefunction 11y agoThey took the public concept of "show someone a youtube video and film their reaction" and turned it into a major business (millions in revenue) on youtube. Then they turned around and tried to trademark "reaction videos" and offer "licensing" to anyone else who. Then 4chan organized some raids and they lost a bunch of subscribers and panicked and backed-off the trademark attempt.
- CamperBob2 11y agoDidn't they actually try to patent the concept? That was what I understood to be the reason people were so upset.
- c3534l 11y agoI don't think so. You may have heard that because most people don't understand the difference between a patent and a trademark.
- c3534l 11y agoNot really. It's more like "let's show a bunch of children floppy disks and record their confused look before they realize this is what the 'save' symbol comes from." MSTK was a scripted show with jokes and stuff. This is just old people listening to dubstep and stuff.
