>>20453030 I can't believe I used to watch What culture videos. Thank God I stopped before they started their cringe wrestling promotion that died instantly
>>20453030 Why did they need a whole editing department for some of the laziest smark content online? Yeah of course you're gonna have financial problems if you hire 10 people do put out that crap
>>20453030 So let's see. In the span of about two weeks >Bodyslam which panders to AEW just gutted its staff >Cultaholic which panders to AEW just gutted its staff >ProWrestlingTees who had a merchandising license with AEW just gutted its staff >Jazzwares who had a merchandising license with AEW just gutted its staff Even if you want to claim it's all coincidence or that what was reported about WBD and AEW isn't true, it's funny how you won't see a single dirtsheet name even questioning the timing of this all
>>20453290 >funny how you won't see a single dirtsheet name even questioning the timing of this all Yet they were all first in line to report on WWE releases and contract renegotiations
>>20453030 why the fuck did they have 8 editors for videos of dudes in their bedrooms talking into cameras cut with stock footage and photos? they're not ken burns making 9 hour baseball documentaries
>>20453551 Kek right? Why would AEW and Tony who supposedly has infinitely deep pockets take such fast legal action over "less than 5 million" dollars? So who even knows how much. Could be 4 million, 3 million. The only ammount they've said is "less than 5 million." Isn't that like one wrestler's monthly contract supposedly?
All the signs are there. AEW is dying. It still hasn't turned a profit after 7 years. Tony and Shad know that AEW isn't getting renewed. Shad won't be investing much anymore because AEW is a money pit. Tony is cutting cost. Tony is autistic enough to keep AEW going, but that would require a massive reset, and AEW would be like pre-TV NWA or GCW.
all these retards took the bribes from tony khan without realizing it would kill their audience feels like all online smark spaces are withering up and dying because of that paki retard paying bad actors to disrupt authentic wrestling conversation and force it into a pro-aew direction, even /pw/ is near dead now
Edited for WhatCulture in college for a couple of months back in the late 2010's. Business model only works if you have a consistent stream of bullshit >The website pays writers peanuts (with the promise of ad-rev) to shit out whatever list form content, because lists (in the 2010's) used to be easy web traffic >They'd than hire broke cunts like me to edit the video, with the promise of cash-in-hand, no questions asked (it's a gift, don't tell the tax man) if you can get it done in a swift manner. Most of the time the editing itself had rigid rules >Videos had to be at 25FPS, no EasyEase motion allowed in AE or Premier and you gotta source everything. >However they'd typically dump videos onto us nobodies that in-house staff didn't want to touch because of the sourcing issues. For example, "10 WRESTLERS YOU NEVER KNEW WHO WRESTLED ON NXT" and at best, you've got two pictures from a wayback machine from the FCW website to use for them. >The payment itself would vary between £150 to £300. Great for a student who wants to get drunk and fuck the exchange student from Dallas. But than you remember that these cunts are likely earning £1000+ per-video due to the clickbait nature of them in this timeframe.
They don't do outsourcing like this anymore ever since Future publishing brought them out. As for my interactions? >Ben was always great to work with, easy to pitch gags to the guy. If you needed VO amended, he'd have it with you in hours. Professional to a tee. >Austin was a passive aggressive spaz if you went over his preferred timing of edits. >Adam P handled the transactions. So he'd try and limit communication unless told too. You had to email him to be paid >Jack was hyper autistic about edits, yet wouldn't take accountability over his own tech fuck ups. His audio was always a mess to clean >Jules was a right cunt to deal with. Beanie isn't to cover his bald head but the sheer ego he had.
Ultimately this model has been killed by A.I, Twitter, TikTok and Shorts.
