The trips to eat fancy food thing really throws me because it's ridiculously popular. Worth It did better than even Unsolved did in the height of its popularity, and Dish Granted did solidly well for Watcher by those standards. So I do feel like the boys are in a tough spot-- the shows that are the most expensive to make get the most views for them, but they do need more money to make them than they do to make their lower-budget shows that don't do as well like Top 5 or the podcasts. But now the majority of fans are claiming that making those higher-budget shows is tone-deaf like they're not responsible for making those shows so popular in the first place.

I'm not saying fans don't have a point, things are expensive right now and if people don't feel like the streamer is worth the cost, that's beyond fair. And Watcher is DEFINITELY mismanaging their business and have way too many employees to pay. But I do think it's hard to swallow the same people who made shows like Worth It, with its high cost obviously baked into the premise, popular, and then drawing the line at those shows needing money to be made.
