Firaga 5,947 Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2UqT6SZ7CU For those of you who don't speak "Greedinese" with a side of fake sincerity and additional bullshit, let me translate: TheFineBros. are basically saying, "hey, our reputation is pretty much solely based on the fact that we make reaction videos, so much that it's kinda like we have a whole hypothetical monopoly on it, so let's make that an actual monopoly and make money off other people doing reaction videos!" This may be by far the most asinine scam I have ever come across in my life. I would compare this to Nintendo's attempt at taking revenue from let's players, but even that crap is more reasonable because Nintendo was asking to get money from content they actually own. TheShiteBros. on the the other hand are trying to build a "community" of people to leech off of with content that they didn't even make. They basically trying to make "reacting" a trademark, something they own the rights to and are guaranteed money from just based on principle. Well, f*ck that noise. F*ck everything about it. I admit that reaction videos are somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine, but even if I hated reaction videos, I'd still support various reaction channels over this scam any day of the week. Regardless of how other reaction videos are structured, whether people find them good or bad, TheFineBros isn't entitled to "share" their revenue just because they "own" reacting. If you're subscribed to TheFineBros or any of their channels, I recommend you un-subscribe right this second and leave a comment on the video above telling them just how bullshit this entire concept is.

Setrex 1,031 Posted January 30, 2016 I watch the odd react video from time to time (it really depends on the topic), but this React World stuff is stupid. They are pretty much trying to profit off of reaction videos as if they invented the entire concept which is just stupid. I'm glad they are getting a lot of flack for this, because they deserve it.

Pangoro "Sen" 445 Posted January 30, 2016 Yeah, uh, no. Sorry Fine Bros. You are not destined to be good people. They can scrub off now, please. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted January 30, 2016 This is... Oh boy. I don't watch their stuff often (I've watched it when it relates to old video games just to see if any kids even know what those are, but in general I don't exactly find it to be all that entertaining of a channel), and I'll definitely be stopping after this. This is just absolutely freaking pathetic. They don't own the idea of reaction videos. In fact, while I don't know the history of reaction channels, I highly doubt they were even the first of their kind. They must be incredibly desperate if they're trying to monopolize the whole idea of it. Also, when they mentioned legalities in this... That doesn't mean they're going to try to actually trademark the idea of reaction channels and bring other reaction channels into legal issues, will they? Because that's even more pathetic. 3 Firaga, Josuke Higashikata and Xiro reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shana09 5,769 Posted January 31, 2016 I don't get how they are coming off as "world revolutionists" by posting React videos. Wtf. 1 Firaga reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Power Jusho 1,783 Posted January 31, 2016 I'm going to keep being subscribed to Fine Bros because I like their content but I won't support React World. just no. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RikuFangirl2008 1,368 Posted January 31, 2016 Well... Good luck to them. Don't know if this will succeed or fail... I'm subscribed to them, and I don't think I can do this "React World" thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Headphone Jack 1,147 Posted January 31, 2016 this thread will be perfect for my first officially legal FineBros reaction video: KH13 Reacts to: React World but yes this is ridiculous. it's not like it takes a lot of effort to make a reaction video anyways so why wouldn't people just continue to make them on their own?

Soul_Seeker 753 Posted January 31, 2016 *video starts* Hey, guys! Rocketboy here and I'm going to be reacting to a video called "REACT AROUND THE WORLD?!?! (Special Announcement)". I hope you guys enjoy! Hey, look, it's TheFineBros! I watch some of their content, some of it's kind of good, I guess. Huh? Oh, React World? Are they making a network for React channels or something? O...kay... Wait, what? Monopolizing React videos? What is... Oh, no. This is getting stupid. Yeah, no. *pauses video* I'm done. Can't do this. *throws headphones off* Forget this video. Forget React World. Forget TheFineBros. *leaves room* *ends video* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firaga 5,947 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) And let the damage control commence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t-vuI9vKfg Just like their first video, this one is full of contrived bullshit as well. Literally nothing they say in this video is either credible nor does it help their cause. So yes, this situation just keeps getting worse, but here's something to lighten the mood if you're interested enough: here is a live counter where you can see TheFineBros. channel lose subscriptions as they happen in real time.

When you look closely at their faces, you can see the desperation. I enjoy it. EDIT: By the way, guys, I've licensed the Let's Play format. I'm gonna take down any video that seems to be "copying" mine or they'll have to pay me 40% of their profit. But, don't worry, I'm not gonna go around doing stuff like that! *takes down 250 videos in one day* Edited February 1, 2016 by Rocketboy227 1 Firaga reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firaga 5,947 Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Crap, I missed this one before the channel removed it... Should of expected them to remove it. After all, it just dug their hole even deeper. EDIT: Aaaaaand they removed the video that brought them to the dance as well. I guess we can safely call this a failed experiment.

Soul_Seeker 753 Posted February 2, 2016 Guys, you didn't hear? They've cancelled the entire React World concept. They're SUPPOSEDLY rescinding all their trademarks involving the React "brand".... And they're going to be removing false content ID claims. Let's just hope the above is true.
