I knew he was connected to them because he sometimes does like charity events with them and he and Nostaglia Critic cross over sometimes

I think Joe became president and blew up Canada in the Critic It's a Wonderful Life Parody.

Most of the complaints seems to be on their CEO Mike Michaud, who everyone seems to describe as incompetent person who only plays video games all day. Looks like he only got the position as CEO because no one else wanted to it at the time and the reason they can't fire him because Mike owns the exclusive rights to the Nostalgia Critic. Somehow he managed to convince them to sign it over to them, so if they kick him out the Nostalgia critic brand goes away (where they get the majority of their ad revenue and sponsorships from).

It's really on the Walkers as well. Even if he is doing this only to prevent literally being fired from his brand and it's really Michaud that's the horrible dude, he's losing more by staying with the guy. I mean, he reshared that ridiculous fucking statement on Channel Awesome. Just that they think they can shit all over dozens of former contributors, including Linkara and Nostalgia Chick, is criminally insane. You use the term "disgruntled employees" when it's like a dude that works for three months who shits an upper decker into the bathroom and quits. You can't say "disgruntled employees" when it's people you had working for you for years and years saying this.

the nostalgia chick pointed commented on someones youtube video about the controversy that hearing the nostalgia critic clips about fair use brought back flashbacks

cause she has said before that doug doesnt really understand fair use and what he did with videos was not actually protected under fair use as he has to alter the context of the clip to make it fall under the parody clause while he just showed clips as is

From what I read, it is barely even anything to be on the site. All its resources are on Doug and the rest can easily make more money from their YouTube channels

I don't think anyone knows what Channel Awesome is anymore. Even those who worked at it for nearly a decade.

I'll put the button on the topic by saying, whenever someone comes to you with an offer and says "we don't want to run this like a traditional business"... this outlook is often seen as good, but more often in reality it is very, very bad.

Obscurus lupa had a raw deal for a long time
First she got misblamed for spoony getting fired and even though he said to his fans she had nothing to do with it his fan base still sent death threats to her and started blaming her for someone else telling spoony to kill himself

Then a year later she was unjustly kicked off the site

Bumping this, as it was revealed that Justin Carmichael (JewWario) tried to rape a woman and was known for grooming younger women and fans as well. What a sick fuck he was.

WhatWhatWhatWhatWHAT.

Damn, that's insane. I remember when he killed himself, I didn't watch his videos much but I thought he was alright. That's probably why they were so hush hush about who the identity of the groomer was. That's just a horrible mix of everything.

Also it seems that Mike Michaud identified JewWario as the groomer (while pretending that it wasn't his intention) for the sole purpose of drawing attention away from himself.

Michaud is also a piece of shit in all of this. I hope Doug can get his Nostalgia Critic IP back from him, and the place just vanishes after that.

A couple former producers have said that Michaud wasn't as much of an asshole to them as he was to everyone else, and that's pretty much the nicest thing I've heard anyone say about him.

I highly doubt that that. Michaud has constantly proven to be incompetent. It also makes himself look bad since he not only hid the information but he also let Doug do a tribute to JewWario.

@yusiko In case you don't know, Nostalgia Chick still makes videos on youtube, and they're even higher quality than the old ones. Take a look at the Loose Canon episodes or the Lord of the Rings episodes and you'll see that she's doing some great work.

That's kind of his thing. I still remember when he said he was going to leave the internet for a while until people forgot him and no one forgot him because his voice is way too distinct.

I'm like Jim bruh, get out of here with that.

Always thought it was cool Spoony lived in the same city as me, even though I've never seen him in public before.

Really, real crummy how things went down with him. He's guilty of a lot of things, but when you're already known for that kind of trouble, and then you've got piles of other real life problems weighing on that, it'll bring anyone down. But I think Spoony was about a little over halfway towards truly cracking when he started making videos, so as life went on, things bumped him far up on the insanity meter.
