Public backlash won't mean much. People these days could have a drone strike a neighbor's house a think "they must have had it coming." Do you think the public cares about something as abstract as trademarking a simple verb? Ethics is far beyond the conception of the average person.
Did you not read this thread? Hating them has gone viral, everyone and their mother's cat is talking about it now. They're losing two subscribers a second.

Placing yourself on the wrong side of a hate bandwagon is bad for business, or it could be that The fine bro's actions are very hard to defend. It's probably a mixture of both.
Philip defranco is certainly trying to lend a hand with his weak strawmen

So someone else doing something bad automatically negates something someone else did? That'd be like if I walked into a store and stole something, and when I was caught saying, "Well that guy over there killed someone!"
Also I wonder how they will react to people reacting to this? And I also wonder if they would consider the Farms to be a site for reactions [REST OF POST DELETED VIA DCMA REQUEST SEE YOU IN COURT FUCKERS]

They have enough subscribers for a few months then. A lot of the subscribers just care about their cheap videos. Even if they have to lay off employees, do you think it will ever come down to the shitheads ever losing their channel?
The fact the channel owners haven't bugged out (as in close everything) is kind of astonishing. But at the same time I want the circle jerk to continue.

Worry not Philip, every Minecraft user ever accused of being a pedophile has received a sufficient amount of death threats. No surprises that Philip is defending these assholes, Philip owns a nice little YouTube network himself.
What was dumber was how they announced it during the public opposition period for a trademark, when if they hadn't announced it, it's entirely possible nobody would have noticed until it had already been granted, or that if anyone had, it might have just been a curiosity rather than an outrage.
If they talked to a lawyer before doing this and he said it was a good idea, they'd probably have a half decent malpractice case.
My schadenfreude about this situation that these pair of Jewish numskulls have gotten themselves into is growing tremendously and these are people I barely knew anything about at all.
Does anyone know a rough estimate of the total number of subscribers they've lost since their announcement? It doesn't seem like it's going to lose steam anytime soon.

Thing is, what is important is not subscribers themselves but views. Having lots of subscribers is nice since it means some of them are viewing new videos and such. BUT, that doesn't mean that every sub will always view your videos. We don't know how many of those were bought or even active at all. What is alarming them shitless is that the active subs are the ones jumping ship really fast, which will hit the views dramatically, meaning a huge loss to the channel. Don't believe me?, look at DSP, he's the prime example of having a big userbase and all going to shit because of bad attitude toward fans.
