    Fuck Afterworld. The company used YouTube to build up a fanbase and completely abandoned them.

    So did Lonelygirl15. People go wherever the money is, it seems.

    So, if you got offered a bunch of money for a show you created, and it had a better opportunity to reach o broader audience, you would say no and stay with youtube and make no money? I'm just wondering.

    I mean, why is it a bad thing when someone who works for something and gets an opportunity to better themselves, they get burned for it? One life to live, no? And isn't that what youtube is for, anyway? To bring your ideas to a larger audience than you would have if there were no other means?

    There is a good chance most people would have taken the opportunity if given it, considering that most writers don't make a lot of money to begin with, and it would give them an opportunity to change their situation.
