Machinima Not Paying (Bankruptcy?)

And it's drama. Remember when everyone on Twitter freaked out over CPMs and it changed maybe 50 contracts? Same deal. Calm your panties

I thought Microsoft paid for them to make that Halo series. Those guys had a good thing going and they blew it on some crappy Youtube series'

They didn`t pay for the whole series.... they payed for the first 2 episodes and then provided video-side branding for higher CPMs on the rest.
The Controller (one of their series) made a loss of 3M it was meant to capture an audience by having lots of YouTube stars in it... it failed...
Pranks labs barely gets 10-20k views a videos so I can`t see them making a profit and now it`s come out that 2 episodes were staged....

Most of it was on their high-production series, which they way over-estimated potential viewers for.

People love to see some professional stuff from time to time but for the most part that's not what YouTube is about. I think more people come and watch youtube because it's different from the stuff you see on TV (for the most part). They come to see stuff from everyday normal people. And not what Hollywood shoves down our throat.

170 of the biggest guys in the network.. It brought their wags down 20-60% a year I`d think you`d freak out if it was you....

It was not 170. You aren't with the network, yet you think you know everything. I read my monthly news letters from Machinima, it was 50 people. And it did not drop it that much. Maybe 15-20%. Plus when you're funded by Google, you aren't going bankrupt.

It was not 50, I contacted a whole lot more than 50... I talked to at least 30 of then and that was less than 25% of who was affected...

They are not funded by Google. Google just invested in the company a few years back to get it going faster. And they lost multiple channels that had 1M+ subscribers bringing in millions to the company before.

Okay well the point is Google puts lots of money into them. I know they aren't funded by just Google. And they lost about 7-10 1 Mil channels
