For Puma sightings you’ll have to go straight to their site now as Rooster Teeth moved Red vs Blue off YouTube citing decreasing ad revenue. (www.theverge.com)

So, rather than having some revenue coming in from YouTube, they’d rather force everyone to use their own website? Do they not understand that not everyone watches YouTube on a computer? Some exclusively use the YouTube app on their phones, TVs, or game consoles.

I dunno. It’s not as if it costs them anything to host the videos on YouTube. Seems odd to completely cut off a revenue source like that.

They have apps for phone, TV, and game consoles, though.

And, as far as I’ve always known, those apps are awful. I haven’t checked in awhile though.

YouTube ain't much better, even if you pay for it.
