Depends on one's definition of "success" in this context. The Walkers' and Michaud's heads on pikes over an Illinois overpass? Permanently handicapping their ambitions (as if they hadn't already been doing that on their own for years)?
For Lupa, I’d say Doug Walker being forced to quit the internet in shame. If your ulterior motive is destroying Doug, I’d say success given how much Doug has stagnated.
This is news. Maybe you should ask in Marzgurl's thread.
All that’s left is waiting tables or going back to the small town they came from with their dreams in tatters.
My understanding is that Channel Awesome covered travel and lodging for the contributors who appeared in the anniversary specials. They were not being paid to appear in the specials, and since being in them usually led to a disruption in their own production cycle (therefore posing a potential threat to their revenue streams), they were encouraged to film their own crossover episodes when they weren’t shooting. And even though I know this was just in service of silly internet movies and reviews, that does sound exhausting, but that’s usually the case when it comes to amateur productions.
Not to defend her but the Nostalgia Chick is actually one of the few former CA producers that actually made it big and distanced themselves from their old content with being a video essayist who is major in the Breadtube circles.
And she has a novel due to be published next year. Honestly, I think she was probably the only one to let things die, though she did a half ass torching her Chick past. Honestly, Lindsay paints herself as this intellectual, but isn’t as much as a chameleon as Linkara, but she’s one step ahead of Lupa by not going on about CA to look like a bitter individual.
And she has a novel coming out next year from a major publisher. Meanwhile, Doug and Allison are trembling at the prospect of being hit with copyright strikes with each video they upload. I, too, don’t want to sound like I’m trying to defend or endorse Lindsay’s work, but I do find it admirable that she’s trying to express her creativity by doing something other than shitting over someone else’s work.
I don’t think anyone is, and people will certainly speculate about the level of quality, but the fact that maybe only Latza managed to come out of internet drama looking better, more power to Lindsay if you ask me.
And if you went back and told anyone that 4 years ago, that Latza of all people would triumph they would never believe you, it's crazy.
In Brads last Midnight screening he goes on a rant about cancel culture. At one point saying that people that push that have zero talent.
Starts at 11:40 if I didn't get the time right.
How much you wanna bet she thinks that if it wasn't for CA, she'd be rolling in dosh with a massive fanbase and that it is somehow
For a while, CA was the only show in town. So if Allison didn’t have them, she’d be even more of a nobody if you ask me.
