Cinema Snob’s still on there, yes, but he hasn’t made any comments about CA that I’m aware of. I don’t think he’s really paid attention to the site in recent years and is content to let them repost his videos for the sake of clicks.
Larry, on the other hand, seems to be actively relishing the fact that the admins can’t fire him without digging their hole even deeper, and has been having a field day retweeting fanart of him owning the site by default after Doug and Mike call it quits.
As an aside, this whole fiasco has really gotten me informed about what a lot of the Golden Age producers have gotten up to since they left the site or I stopped following them. I had no idea that JesuOtaku had transitioned, and bully for him for doing so.
Rumors have been swirling that Doug and Rob Walker are also leaving. Nothing is confirmed, but indications are they may be leaving and hiring a lawyer for some purpose. Maybe to get the character rights.
I think he should just leave and review movies without the character.
Zombifying my OP because Cinematic Venom has made an 80-minute documentary about the rise and fall of CA, just in time for the 1-year-anniversary of the fatal brouhaha.
It includes a good amount of video testimony from some of the creators who were hurt the hardest, addresses the JewWario issue, and wraps up in a nice little package the tragedy of a company that was institutionally toxic and woefully unprepared to deal with its own success.
Wait. So did Brad leave before the site went down? He was the only one who actually decided to stay friends with Doug and them, and thus stayed on. Larry stayed on just to see how long it would take for him to be noticed, but Brad sided with them against Alison (and lost his friendship with her and Phelan over it.)
As for the site itself, I’m sure that the site just seemed like an extra expense at this point. I would expect that, like most YouTubers, few people interacted with them on their site. This is far from the first video-producing website I’ve seen turn into just a YouTube channel.
The whole point of the site was to be an alternative to YouTube due to its copyright stuff. With YouTube being good enough, and the dream of this creator-owned platform completely gone, it makes sense to me that they’d just be a regular video channel.
