Maybe she did (I'm not familiar enough with the situation), but the crew at Channel Awesome are no Rihanna. For whatever reason, Internet personalities are seen as x100 more disposable than other entertainers. Rolfe and Walker might have an advantage in that they've been doing this so long that some find them to be nostalgic. I imagine that the lesser CA creators just have to keep piling on the videos in the hope that they'll retain even a small audience.

I think it's a similar reason as to why Rhianna has to keep pumping out music. Her handlers know if she slows down she'll become irrelevant. Same thing with CA. If they don't pump out a review every week to satisfy the fanbase, the fanbase'll get bored and go elsewhere.

I mean that can go for most entertainment though. When you take time off or are out too long you become irrelevant (see sales for Macklemore's latest album). Not to mention while some singles were released Rihanna took a 4 year break between albums and Work is like the song of the year.

Your point is valid but at least use someone who doesn't have a decade of success under their belt.

She took time between albums but had a some loosies drop during that time. All to a decent amount of success. Between her presence in the mainstream media and the fact that she's been famous for over a decade she's a shitty person to compare to these internet entertainers. While we see them as people that have been doing this for too long outside of the internet culture bubble it's still relatively new to most people.

I think he does the let's plays with Mike now to compensate for the less frequent AVGN episodes. Not really content I'm interested in, but at least it's not as cringy as all the other let's play shit I've seen on YT.

To clarify, I don't pay that much attention to Rihanna (you'll notice I didn't even spell her name right in my original post). The last time I was aware of what she was doing is back in late 2012-2013 when she was still pumping out album after album and my analysis of this situation was her handlers being afraid of her becoming irrelevant. It seems I was wrong. Maybe I could've drawn a better comparison, but as you say the original point still stands.

Look at his fucking moobs. Look at them. They look like fucking implants. You can actually see one of his nipples through the shirt.

He literally has bigger breasts than most of the women at Channel Awesome.

Speaking of AVGN, he's doing a charity auction of a bunch of his old props, to raise money for Shriners, given his own history with them.

I'll admit, as cringy and incompetent as these people can be, I can respect them when they try to raise awareness and money for charity. Unless someone can given me examples of them scamming the charities.

Man, I watched the video explaining the story behind the charity auction and, not gonna lie, I choked up when James was explaining what happened to his daughter. That's fucked up that the hospital would drop the ball like that to an infant. But I'm glad she's apparently doing much better now. I have immense respect for James for doing this auction for a good cause, rather than for personal gain.

I wonder how Asalieri will try to spin this into a bad thing.
 
Hard to believe AVGN has been around for 10 years. I'm not as into that series as I was back then, mostly grew out of it to be honest, but he really spurred my interest of the filmmaking process (not that I went into it or anything) with some of his indie projects. And it's cool that he's got a more level-head about AVGN than other internet creators do for their personas.

Both Megaman Legends games were awesome though, but I'm not going to hold his opinion against him.

Something like what happened with the movie a few years ago.

"It's all a scam sheeple! Wake up and buy my trading cards!"

Joking aside, that's absolutely terrible to hear about what the hospital did. Glad to see she's doing better, at least. And I wish James and his family the best.

Being fat is something I get, but I've never understood fat guys who don't get large enough shirts to hide their man tits.

We live in America, Bennett, you autistic landwhale. Even the dinkiest dollarstores in the dumpiest states sell double-and-triple exers. They're not fucking orthopedic shoes. Even if you weren't homelier than a donkey's unwaxed butthole and kept a decent grooming schedule, that shirt would still make you look like an overstuffed tube of Preparation H.

I believe a big part as to why this is would be because the members of Channel Awesome hold each other back by putting a limit of what's acceptable to publish.

I think they hurt each other for different reasons. It's not really the same environment as it was back when it started. It's no longer about "adults" screaming into a camera about how this and that sucks in the safety of their parents' basement. It's now about skits, crossovers, and the occasionally continuing storyline attached to the review. They're not trying to find an audience anymore, they're trying to share one. They each have this character to play, but now the characters have to fit together so their audiences will overlap.

And now after a lot of their big talent has left, it's a bunch of C-listers trying to take up the slack. But when Doug has a studio and Linkara has his self-insert fanfiction, they need something to be a draw. Not to mention finding a niche they can fill. Channel Awesome looks for production values, and not everyone can meet their standards or "taste." Fuck the individual reviewers (except for the really big names, who can do whatever the hell they want), it's all for the greater good of Channel Awesome now.

And now I'm waiting for the day when either Doug or Lewis decide to backstab the other. Because honestly, that's what I feel might happen sometime down the line.

Maybe Oingo Boingo t-shirts are made for skinny people only, and he didn't realize until it was too late.

So, Macbeth by way of preachy, unfunny internet reviewers? This should be interesting to watch.
