Sure. I guess. Not my thing but from my very brief skimming, he's adding quite a bit to the original content through his commentary. That's fine, I guess.

God that was beautiful. And this guy pronounces everything incredibly well - perhaps only something a wizard fish can do.

oh shit
Here's the Live Sub count for those who were wondering.
http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/thefinebros/realtime
And to correct myself; before their announcement, they were at 14.09m subs. As of now, they are down to 14.06m subs. Their sub loosing rate gets somewhat bigger every day.
Here's a chart for those again, also curious.

Also, remember the animator Psychicpebbles made a video about the FineBros 3 years ago?
Well... Check out @psychicpebble's Tweet: https://twitter.com/psychicpebble/status/693215303648612352?s=09

Can't imagine this going over well at all, especially with the amount of "reaction" videos that are probably created on a daily basis.
You seem really invested in this.
It was a prank bro! A prank!

So they're going to share the revenue with the original content creators that the people in their videos are reacting to, right?

New York Magazine is covering it. They picked a great screencap.

This shit sounds like a pyramid scheme. Do all the work and they get a cut, and then YouTube gets a cut. Seeing the live counter would is fun. It would be totally crazy if they implode all their hard work due to this stupid stance they chose to take. But losing 14mil subs would be epic.

More people getting their work blocked. Some guy has been making videogame reaction videos, and they got blocked and striked by The Cunt Bros.

This is all just a ploy to get people to make reaction videos to Reaction World and then they use those reaction videos in their own reaction videos. "Teens, Elders, and Kids React to Anti-Fine Bros Videos" and then people tune in because who the heck wouldn't want to see that?
These fucking assholes holy shit abusing DMCA.

Is YouTube trying to be funny? I open YouTube and in the recommendations section is the Fine Bros channel in all of its obnoxious glory.
As if I want to even support these people, especially the shit they are pulling now.
Doubt it money talks and I don't see their revenue being hit hard from this.
If their sponsors are watching this all unfold they might very well take a hit from this. It's all really based on how they (lol)react.

Brb copyrighting "Music Video"
The sponsors will just be looking at their subscriber numbers. Unless those start going down heavily the only other way something will happen is if other really big youtubers start weighing in on this and react negatively to it. But, fine bros have made friends with most of them already so I don't see anything happening.
boogie is probably the highest subscribing youtuber (with nearly 3 million+ subs) that I've seen talking about this.
I find all of this hilarious.
The Fine Bros. use footage of huge/popular TV shows and movies in their react videos for free (probably via third party YouTube downloaders) but yet they want money from people who make their own "react to" videos.
It's amazing how much they don't realize their own hypocrisy; The "we don't want to do Hollywood stuff" comment from them is mind blowing considering they keep relating this move to TV show brands, and their "Join us to change the world!"-push is cringe worthy.

New video to clarify things.

They also note in the description that if you have a content ID claim they are working on it to resolve the issue by next week. This should of been said in the video as well. Losing 3 million subs must of made them hurt. At least they're saying the right stuff now and explaining it better.

Man, they look like they haven't slept in 48 hours lol.
I still don't buy their sob story. All I got from this is that they admitted to copyrighting React because of their channel but never admitted to other generic terms as "Teen Reacts" or "Elder Reacts". They admitted to taking down video that are similar to their videos, which is shitty and arrogant. They admitted to not using their "PR speak" right, and that they will mask it better now lol.
Comparing Reaction videos to Burger King Franchise is HILARIOUS.
Yeah comparing it to burger king is just mindblowing bad. And i do not believe a word what they're saying like they own every 'react' it's like sony tried to with 'let's play' no you dickheads you will not change the world because we will forget stuff like this in a few years.
