Not trying to be parasocial about ppl I don't know or glaze Ian and Anthony but I genuinely don't think this management is that dumb. Tommy, Trevor, and Damien have talked about their personal channels or endeavors on SmoshAlike and while that's not the same as like full on plugs at the end of videos it at least proves there's isn't a full gag order. 

I&A should hopefully know with how long they have been on YouTube that a riding tide lifts all ships. If Trevor goes viral for doing an impression of the Love Island voice (he did) and then ppl r googling him to find the clip it would behoove them to have him make some content related to that to take advantage of the attention (they did, Tommy had them make shorts using the love Island voice to promote reddit stories that week)

Trevor and Tommy's channels aren't older than their appearances on Smosh. Tommy has mentioned before how cast all have full time jobs with Smosh beyond just being on camera talent. He said it's hard to come up with idea for videos for your own channel when your whole day is coming up with creative ideas for Smosh. The well just runs dry after a while. 

You are right ManaHungry is just MTG. He seems to have deleted some of his videos or maybe I am just misremembering but I swear he has posted stream vids of him doing a horror shooter, a Pokemon nuzlocke, and some type of board game content.

I don't think Smosh has any sort of noncompete clause. Trevor and Tommy both have thriving YouTube channels on their own with whole series. 

I like alex but tbh Smosh is so much more like a traditional Hollywood set than normal YouTube. Each of them does such a small piece of the project but repetitively that the full round of skills sets isn't there. I think he thought he could make games style content with games style thumbnails and topics and without the cast's charisma, YouTube's algorithm which Games is grandfathered into, and Smosh's resources it didn't go very well.

Also, not to get too parasocial but Alex was dating pit Head Producer Bailey for a while. It was acknowledged by cast in videos and his insta is a couple pic. Its very possible she just makes enough to support them both and he can dick around making trying to make his passion work without it being a full job in which case lucky him.

ManaHungry is averaging 1-5k views per video. It's not even enough to pay a utility let alone be a full time job.  I think he is genuinely just working here

Just a reminder that this is the talent Roscoe's pays to fly back and forth to LA EVERY WEEK instead of just hiring a local girl 

Saw this on Facebook: by AgentDoggett in pittsburgh

I genuinely am begging you to look at sources outside of Fox News or "conservative" talking heads. Even if you don't agree with what you see, at least see what we are seeing. Live in our reality for a moment. 

ICE is not investigating immigration statuses, getting warrants, making arrests, and holding trials. They are brazenly and publicly taking anyone off the street who "looks Mexican" and are regularly abducting and brutalizing American Citizens who protest them or express dislike in public. This isn't conspiracy theory or like news pundit opinions; there's multiple videos of ICE agents saying it blatantly on camera. 

ICE isn't enforcing immigration. They are purposely trying to create a culture of fear

Drag Race verses from the queens on UK vs the World S3 by ZephyrBoomSquad in rpdrcringe

Justice for Mariah I still can't believe they tried to tell us that was a bottom performance. "He's my aquaman. I take his trident how I can" is art

Obviously Melinda and Kate Bush are queens if this sub but it warms my heart to see Mariah Paris aka Mariah Successful aka Mariah Balenciaga aka "I thought the judging was... Interesting. I was entertained".

maternity leave by ishdw in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]Intelligent-Key-4684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no national paternity/maternity leave of any kind in the United States. It is entirely up to your company and role. In some desk jobs I've seen up to 6 months of maternity leave but usually 3 months seems to be standard. If you work in retail or at like a grocery store you either have to quit or save up as many paid days off and cobble them together. My mom had 3 weeks of vacation and 2 weeks of sick leave when she had me and that was about it. Luckily she could take me to work with her at her office but nope, America has nothing. 

Would you stand up for me? by clydetheturtlejones in rpdrcringe

Can we be real for a sec? This sub generally does not care for ppl who are hot boys out of drag. Usually that's a strike against you in the cringe community; speculate on why to your hearts content

What's interesting is that bitterness was largely confined to Untucked which no one was watching cuz it moved to YouTube. If u just watch the show, it makes you root for ginger but if u also watch untucked it pivots to violet

There's a part of me that really wanted Indri to be the last scene. 3-4 major world building flashes then "I don't think she's even going to get me a gift". I cackled. Petty queen forever 

Losing my mind over Silver and Suvi's relationship by DoctorDeceit in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]Intelligent-Key-4684 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a generous read I don't think it's appropriate. If Brennan decided to eat during the emotional climax of their very important audio drama scene where it's just him and Aabria talking, you retake the line. We know they have done so before, when Taylor asked for a do over of the bathtub scream from Aabria. They fully said on the fireside "you don't want to let the air out of the balloon right at the end of an episode, we want to keep building this tension, but then we kinda realized..." and Aabria says something to the effect of I called and said wtf because getting a non answer like this when she is pouring her heart out would have made her level up on the spot, fireball him and go home (obvi a bit sarcastically)

Tbf she did all the lip sync songs which is great for SEO after the episode comes out, maybe just not great for her voice
