The ancient halo comedy sketch thing? They weren’t still making those, surely?

Could the advert revenue not be decreasing because fewer people are watching old niche Halo content these days?

Ah well either way, I wish them the best. Those videos certainly gave me a bit of a chuckle :-)

I believe I saw they were still making them recently.

Also they may be talking about ad revenue per view, which would take into account decreased viewership

I think the most recent season was supposed to be the last, though they’re sunsetting a lot of things these days (RIP Achievement Hunter) so I could easily be confused.

The final season™ is in production now after a couple year hiatus.

Main storyline ended back in like 2014 iirc, then they had an anthology non-Canon season of a bunch of different animation styles which was really neat, and then like 3 seasons of weird virtual production unreal engine stuff that I don’t think is Canon?

Either way it’s still being made, but it’s the end. Allegedly.

Distributed content is always good, just hope they have a good way to drive traffic to their site.

Back in the day this was how all Internet content was

I’d love to see a comeback of this.

But it does seem that the web as Toni’s today is dying. There is no better time tech wise to do things the old way.

The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.

The soft filter makes me think 90’s FOX sci-fi, but this seems to be a Halo reference. Wut?

Solid work, fine person. I knew it looked like one of those, but I only watched TNG.

Honestly, this is probably a good move. I think we’re going to see more and more of this happening in the future. Self hosted media platforms that can partner with other streaming services, that’s my guess as to what will happen. Ironically right back to what life was before YouTube, the main difference now is that self hosting is much cheaper and easier these days comparatively.

… So they’re going back to what they started with. Good for them.
