People think they want to control all reaction videos on Youtube and that 'React World' is some Orwellian scheme to make that happen, but they're just licencing their specific show formats for use in other countries, the way some tv shows do.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Not a Youtuber, but Doug Walker/Channel Awesome has had some marvelous breakdowns over time.
For example there was the time that Doug thought people liked him specifically and not the show he put on, and decided to stop doing nostalgia reviews, and hired actors to do some other weird thing about making movies, which had him losing people left and right until he did an about face and I don't know if he's recovered yet.
And how someone over there tries to have an iron fist over the people they team up with and they lost all their best reviewers and had to partner up with a bunch of unknowns.
Why is there no Boycott campaign ?
I don't think that losing 1M subscribers is going to hurt them that much. 99% of their audience is kids/teenagers who don't care about this. These greedy motherfuckers will keep on making bank. I wish there was a full scale boycott campaign.
Merciless.
Merciless.
It's people not understanding what a Trademark actually is. Reading through the thread it's amazing how many people do not understand what the term is and mixing it up with copyright. I'm no business man, but in school we clearly learn what a Trademark, Patent and Copyright is. Coke has a Trademark for their brand, does not mean others can not make drinks like theirs just can not copy their labels and of course ingredients, stuff that makes Coke distinctly Coke, as it can dilute their brand. You own the style of your business that is all. Trademark protects the brand. Funny enough I can trademark a business, and someone can take the name of my business, but as long as there is no confusion in the eyes of the consumer, they can not sue you. You can't own react videos it's impossible people, it's not legal, since they never invented it and even if they did it will be difficult to prove, but then we falling under patent laws, which I do not fully understand.I still think much of the condemnation here is because of jumping to conclusions.

Hey - in case you missed it - they took down several reaction videos from other youtubers that didn't follow their "format".
I would suggest you familiarize yourself with what they are doing before talking on the matter, truthfully. No offense, but you aren't up on current events.
YouTube's strike system doesn't work like law does.It's people not understanding what a Trademark actually is.

His latest antic was falsely lynching an old man on Twitch as a pedophile, and the man broke down in tears live. When proven wrong, he said something like "Look at the bright side, he got Twitch viewers now!".
He makes videos about "internet drama" and very recently falsely accused a 63 year old runescape streamer of being a pedophile when it turns out it was a completely different person. He's apparently done some other gross shit over the years but that was the first one I heard about which was like 3 weeks ago.

I can agree.
I wish someone copyrighted shitstorms, though.

How many subs in total have they lost since this debacle started?
Ok makes sense. Then they are wrong for that. Didn't really know that. Though YouTube also needs to refine it's system if that is how it works.YouTube's strike system doesn't work like law does.
You are guilty and losing money before being proven innocent which takes anywhere from forever to never. That's what we call "abusing the system".
FineBros have taken down several other videos from popular channels that infringe on NOTHING but simply being reaction videos.
Are you up to speed yet?
Edit: Skux with the incredible flyby!
And that's net. Anyone have info on what the their average sub rate was before this to get a better idea on how many they've lost?About 90,000 i think
To what extent can you really license a format that is as loose and informal is this one?
What is the signature style that makes them different from any other reaction compilation?

I think essentially what they want to do is have people make reaction videos sort of under their banner, they get some money from that, and in exchange they will promote those channels/videos.
But it seems really scammy to just say "look we are popular, you give us some money and we'll promote you."
I don't think it has that much to do with ownership and licensing and all that.

Glad people are making noise about this, next thing you know is that "funny cats" is trademaked I need my cat videos !
Hahaha nice.My urge for a stupid joke was strong, and my photoshop skill weak. But i gave in to it anyway.
That doesn't actually seem ridiculous to me. The only issue is the kinda generic name.
Like if instead it was called Reactapalooza: Kids Edition, you couldn't make Reactapalooza: Kids Edition Redbull.
They keep digging them selfs a deeper and deeper hole.

"no but we only wanted to trademark our specific series not the overall reaction format guys"
"oh and our specific series is every single reaction video ever"
