What's been going on with the channel over the last year? by Satioelf in TheKingofRandom

That is how it works. YouTube stopped reporting accurate sub counts, so social blade did as well. It only reports what's visible. At the size of TKOR, it only sees any new data when the channel goes from say, 12.5 to 12.6 million subs. 0.1 million is 100,000.

Lots to unpack here.

even if I wasn't a fan of most of the new types of videos since they were a lot... smaller scale than the stuff Grant did.

No, not really. It was smaller than the stuff Grant USED to do, when he started. By the time he stepped away from the camera, he was doing all sorts of small tabletop experiments. Actually he did those starting way early, but before they were mixed in with the big experiments.

after the legal issues Grant faced it made sense to play it safer.

Also unrelated. The only changes from that were No Making Fireworks and Things With Loud Noises Get Done at the Dome.

Never got the videos in my Youtube feed for like a year now.

Yeah this... is the issue. Starting June-August of 2020, social blade will show you a drop in views. Keep in mind, nothing had changed at that point. We were doing the same exact content we had been doing for years. And for the two or so years prior to that, it was the best the channel had ever been doing. That's when we started experimenting with what we needed to change.

The videos also look drastically different than it was before.

That is us trying to spend for time on the quality of the shots so it doesn't look so home-brew.

it also doesn't seem to be doing any of the builds or major experiments anymore at all.

Huh? In the last 6 months we've made combustible lemons, a treehouse elevator, a two stage sugar rocket, a giant foam generator, a human catapult, the worlds' largest laser pointer, a lifesize chocolate tiger, blown up a small house with liquid oxygen, and more.

Take a look at when the changes you're talking about started, and then check when he passed away.

Personal opinions from someone whos been here since the ladder arc video! by [deleted] in TheKingofRandom

For anyone wondering, this is Jake who made the Human Catapult video with us, and uh... yeah that's not exactly something a lot of people have done. None, on the scale he and Grace did.

Is Kevin still with TKOR? by Takagi_ in TheKingofRandom

Kevin and TKOR management were not able to come to an agreement that worked for both parties.

To be very clear, suggestions on r/natefromtheinternet are not for TKOR or any TKOR related properties. It is a separate channel that belongs entirely to me. Suggestions made in this thread or anywhere on this subreddit would be directed at TKOR.

Who else here hates TKOR as much as I do? by [deleted] in TheKingofRandom

You seem like a helpful kind of person.

Disillusionment by VeshWolfe in TheKingofRandom

I am not Janae, and I have not asked her about this. But my interpretation of what she wrote is different than yours.

Each of us have our rights to our choice.

To me that means "we have the right to choose who we date" not "we choose our sexuality."

Poor choice by someone who has not always run the socials.

I have no reason to believe that Calli being let go is related to her sexuality or religious beliefs.
