Welp, looks like I was wrong about MrEnter being a nice guy.

Nah, he's still going on about console fanboys. I doubt he's going to give two shits about Chris nowadas (considering he never did release part two of that Sonic Brainfart around him).

A brief update on MrEnter - he's starting to lose subscribers. When I unsubscribed he had about 68,800. Now he's at 68,268 subs. I guess word must be getting out or people must be realising the same things I did about MrEnter.

10 bucks if he loses half of his subscribers.

Maybe they'd stay if he'd stop crying about Teen Titans Go!
 
It seems TGWTG is imploding at the mo.

The Nostalgia Chick left, Phelous left taking Andrew Dickman with him and Lupa was fired for no reason because of this.

Who do you think the next one to leave will be? My money's on Angry Joe!
 
MrEnter's YouTube channel had recently been terminated following a removal of his Spongebob reviews by Viacom. Sad part is that his latest review has him trying to break away from the 'angry' phase.

And Linkara's acting pissy on Rangerboard over someone mentioning the adblock plea.

All the best Lindsay. Phelous, gonna miss Bootleg Zone. Lupa...ehh. Never been a fan of hers.

Wait this all happened in the span of a few weeks. They have no big names left besides NC and Linkara

Not true. Angry Joe's still about (I reckon he'll go next though) as well as Brad Jones. Depending on your feelings regarding Film Brain, he's still about too but he's tailed off schedule wise.

Shame they didn't kick off Dan 'The Paedo' Olson.
 
Man this couldn't have come at a worse time for them though. Losing and firing such big names just when they switched websites. I dont think Angry Joe will be a big loss if he goes. Now if Brad or Linkara leave then you have issues. NC by himself cannot hold that site afloat. Looks like they are tailspinning which is really sad. 2008/2009 where these guys golden years. Then they started tampering off up till now.

Angry Joe is buds with TotalBiscuit and has a fairly solid reputation. I'd say he was a big name. Not as big as the likes of TB, Jim 'The Twat' Sterling, Yahtzee, PewDIEpie and NerdCubed, but he's up there.

As for Film Brain, I said that was depending on your views. He's a fairly big name on TGWTG but yeah, outside of there he's nothing.

Too little, too late. Oh well - he can always take his shit to DailyMotion, or any other site. Too bad he won't get as many views. TBH, he should just quit, IMHO!

As A-Loggy as this sounds - I'd love to see this happen. Then again... I guess - he just needs to work on his game - this cannot be his career choice (And I hope it isn't).
Getting angry over bad media and obsessing over good media doesn't sound like something worth wasting one's life over. Either that, or start working on that cartoon idea of his, already.

Overall, when the crash finally happens, I really hope MrEnter has a career plan for himself. Or else.

EDIT: To be honest, despite what comes off as A - Logging.

I did read one of the rough scripts he posted up, and from what I could tell it really needs work. Granted, it's still a first draft, but I got so confused about the characters and where the plot was going. I did note that neither MrEnter nor the other person working on this cartoon responded very much to criticism, be it constructive or not, so I sincerely doubt that will go anywhere for a while. So I'm with you on this - I really hope MrEnter has a backup plan (or several).

That can go not just to MrEnter but also to the likes of the Nostalgia Critic. Their angry reviewer shtick is either fading away or was already unfunny to begin with. Unless they have any sort of back up plan that is a different career, they won't have it easy once the last critic bubble has bursted and their internet fans die off along with any of the internet money. @The Dude mentioned this before pages ago that doing this hobby as a job would hurt their chances in getting a job since they weren't gainfully employed during their tenure as an internet-famous critic along with one video they make hurting their chances of getting a job if said video really gave off the wrong feeling and such.
 
I haven't been paying much attention to TGWTG, but they used to be really good. This does show that as much as people like to bitch about managers being useless, they are rather important. Content is important but without good administration all your hard work means nothing, and when you are working with other people good administration is even more important as you need to balance their needs as well. Your big name will only carry you so far, especially if by big you mean to only those who spend an obscene amount of time on the internet. To the offline world, you are obscure.

If Doug Walker were to apply for a job outside to the real world, it will take whitewashing, being apologetic, with a tinge of bull. He will need to place emphasis on running a small media business and how hard it is to keep businesses afloat. Managing a website and cooperating with other people to host their content on his website. As for the unprofessional way of how he left his prior job, he should say, "I was stupid and that was unprofessional, but now that I am older I see that was wrong. After running a business of my own, I now understand the importance of professionalism. I may have made some mistakes, but we all make blunders and the important part is that we learn from them." He will need to play the management and creativity card hard, and any mistakes he made (Blistered Thumbs) needs to play the "We all learn from our mistakes and some methods are less effective then others. I grew overconfident in our brand." If he plays his cards right, I think he can be hirable and he does have talent.

It is human nature to focus on the negatives, but Channel Awesome did become big and popular. He does have something to be proud of, but you can only revel in the glory days for so long. I think this was the downfall.

From both of those blog posts, this could be the end if more people leave due to those two posts. To be honest, I'm interested to see CA forum's react about it. I know about their response to negative feedback on anyone saying "don't watch it" when I used to be there in 2011.
 
I can't fault these guys for leaving but holy shit. Don't make the fucking internet your whole job. Have a backup plan just in case. I'm gonna wrestle sperg here a bit but for new guys getting in the business alot of the older guys will tell you straight up, the job pays like shit unless your at the top and to always have a back up plan or another source of income on the likely chance you don't make it. The same is true for this kinda stuff. Don't plan your whole life around it because one day the ride ends and you'll need something else to keep you floating.

Also to bring this back to wrestling since I'm a nerd CA is apparently handling it's talent like WCW did and everyone but the either the newcomers or the hardcore main stays are leaving.
