Bee and Puppycat

Just watched the first episodes of this,it's a cute show

Pity how things have gone,but oh well..

Wait a minute, I thought I read that it was Rainmaker Entertainment who bought Frederator.

Sigh. Well they had a great run.

Uh, why is everyone acting like Frederator Studios is dying?

I think Frederator Studios is fine, it's just its parent company that's changing up from Frederator Networks, Inc. to WOW! Unlimited Media Inc.

Yeah, but now at this time, we have to use a whole new service and pay 2.99-9.99 per month to see the continuation. That's like finding out you can buy an Xbox One half price but only in California, that's just a big rip-off to the long time YT dedicated fans.

Well, Strange Horizons is a fantasy/sci-fi web magazine that runs largely on crowd funding; has for 15 years now, I think. Other stuff off the top of my head is Little Witch Academia and LeSean Thomas's Cannon Busters.

I think Frederator broke a promise to its backers because didn't they commit to more episodes from the funds they initially raised? But I could be wrong.

Well, gosh darn it. I really adored this show. I really did. It was fun and quirky and the animation was interesting to me. I waited and waited for a new episode. Heck, I`m not even sure how long I had waited for a new episode.

But now, I can`t watch it anymore. This is extremely disappointing to me.

Sure you can watch it, You just have to have Donald Trump money to watch all the episodes.

Well they might get uploaded to some video streaming sites, it won't be legal to watch them though.

That's what they also mentioned, but also said we would be supporting the site, not Frederator, bit that's their fault for making us have to pay to watch a whole series.

So the finale

Would you call that Killer Bee?

Still don't have VRV.

Incase your wondering, VRV is owned by Ellation, who also owns Crunchyroll. Ellation is in turned owned by AT&T, who also own Rooster Teeth, Direct TV and are trying to merge with Time Warner (HBO, Cartoon Network, CNN, TNT, TBS, E League)

Frederator/Rainmaker actually isn't part of the Mega conglomerate that is AT&T, which is odd tbh.

VRV is supposed to be AT&T's answer to Verizon's go90. Which I don't get, since go90 is fucking terrible and AT&T doesn't need to have an "answer for it".

If the FCC doesn't shoot down AT&Time Warner tho, technically they're gonna own like 4 separate premium video platforms now (Crunchyroll, HBO GO, VRV, Direct TV.) Considering megacorps LOVE consolidation and penny pinching, in inevitable they're just merge all these services and make one giant "Direct Crunchy Go" package for an obscene amount of money they'll force you to buy.

This is assume we aren't literally living in a cyberpunk world where AT&T and like, Pepsi or some shit own everything and do corporate battles and bullshit like Syndicate or some shit by the time this all happens.

You're fucking kidding me! The whole thing stinks of scam and tax evasion

Anyone want to complain to their nearest government official?

WHAT THE DAMN HELL?!?! That doesn't sound like it's profitable, that sounds like it's madness! Those fucking parasites might as well ask for our blood!

It's harebrained schemes like this that get me convinced that maybe that David Icke fellow isn't too crazy for suggesting that some of the superiors in our society might be goddamn reptilians!

Honestly, we just wanted to see the continuing adventures of a socially-awkward girl and her magic pet dog-cat-hybrid creature thing! Why throw this migraine-inducing BS out of nowhere?! What have we done to deserve this, huh?!

Fuck this. I'll make my own Bee and Puppycat with blackjack and hookers!

Good luck.

Really though, can't we do something to combat this outrage? Like go on strike at AT&T HQ or dig up some dirt on whoever came up with VRV?

They can't just get away with this!

What the hell does David Icke and reptilian theory have to do with a shitty business deal that prevents people from watching a good show? Like, that's just a really weird thing to say, jumping from a shitty business partnership to reptilians.

Let me see if I can explain this better.

David Icke makes the argument that government officials are really reptilians, who are cold-blooded sociopaths who get their energy by feeding off human suffering.

I was trying to make a jokey assumption that whoever came up with VRV might be reptilian because we're all suffering over the fact that we'll have to pay a monthly fee or wait a whole freaking month after it's come out for something that we originally got for free and they're feeding off that suffering.

But you know what? Let's pretend I didn't even make any weird connection to this VRV BS and David Icke's reptilian theory, ok?

The point is, these VRV guys are bastards.

#Fredergate

You were being hysterical,at least you left the Illuminati out of it though

I feel like both threads will end up becoming compliant threads if we don't tone it down. Not saying that we have gotten to the point yet, but it's just a fair warning.

Compliant threads?

Pretty sure they meant 'complaint'.

Well when you're trying to spin it into a stupid phony scandal, then of course you're gonna get locked. Stop trying to make that hashtag a thing, please. You're only inviting drama.
