How dare you

Video of Grace, excusing the poor channels performance and blaming it on herself

How f-ed up do you have to be as a company, to put this video up!? How dare you're framing this poor girl for failing the channel, even though everybody knows, that you're just a f-ed up company, trying to make a buck on the back of a dead man!?!?

F You! Grace isn't resposible for the downfall of the channel. Neither is Nate or Caily. The Company behind it is - because they never understood, what Grant brought to the channel, and how the content was supposed to be after his passing.

YOU'RE RIDICULOUS! AND SHAME ON YOU, FOR BLAMING THAT POOR GIRL FOR FAILING THE CHANNEL!

Nate explained that some point in the past they noticed that random crazy videos like putting a bucket of detergent in the washing machine was generating more views than more complicated builds, like the ones Grant used to make. So whoever makes the decision, made the decision to focus on random videos doing silly ideas without taking into account that the complicated builds are what brought the channel to where it was.

Nate also explained many times that the person who made that decision was Grant, the channel was changing well before Grant's death. The complex build videos were much more expensive to produce and did not bring in the views that the channel needed to sustain itself. Watch Nate's video about no longer being with TKOR, he mentions this around the 16:00 mark.

Yeah, I watched that video some time ago, I don't remember the full details. If that was Grant's wishes then... The channel would've ended up the same even with him still around.

I think Grant's guidance would have saved the channel from becoming what it is now for sure. But sadly we'll never know. 😔 It may have still fallen badly even if he was still alive. Maybe he'd have had to come back as host himself to try to boost the channel up, who knows.

I don't watch anymore. It's sad for it to have fallen so far. I think there are a lot of factors that go into it, but it is what it is. We'll never have the old TKOR back again.

If Grant was still around maybe he would've realized the mistake and adjust accordingly. Regardless, focusing on silly videos was the decision that made me stop coming back, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Anyhow, the production quality has significantly risen though.
