Now This Nerd - A Masterclass on How Not to Youtube

Someone should have tied this dudes hands to his fucking side.

Now This COMPLETELY DESTROYED SourceFed.🤭 They went from 1M subscribers down to 100k and or less. 😆😆😂

Defranco is slowly destroying his current brand by teying to be neutral/"on the fence"/"bull'ishy".

I don't like these guys

That poor guy was torn apart

Speaking of corporate, I really like that you guys are talking down to this guy about being s fake nerd when you guys are faking hard core with all your stereo typical nerd stuff on the set in this video

I love Brett Erlich <3

I have one word for Miachael Calabro...




IMBECIL

"delightful" and "earnest" are not words I'd use to describe Candace

Nerd Alert is whack. this channel sucks and seems a little happy about the news. I smell a jealous hater.

dark world and iron man 2 were dope but this video still had some good points.

I just wanted to say that first of all, it's all fixed now so nothing I say matters. Second of all it didn't really matter in my opinion, they left all the old videos up, changed the name and added a couple (Mediocre) videos. It's not like they removed all the videos and we're like "This is our channel now bow down to us!" or anything. I agree it was a weird decision but it wasn't that drastic of a change and it doesn't matter they fixed it now so nothing I said matters....

Lol Kim looks nothing like Olivia Munn...

Sourcefed originally had amazing hosts when it launched back in 2012. They seemed to just fire the lot and get new ones in though. This new round of fireing and rebooting isnt anything new.

Corporate takeovers of channels that have established communities fail far more often than they succeed. And the reason for this is simply/bluntly that corporate takeovers almost always cause or result in something happening that pisses off the fans that make up those communities. Corporations generally see fanbases and fan communities as exploitable resources, but the fans themselves generally don't like being exploited, don't want to be exploited, and don't want what the corporation is offering (which more often than not comes in the "rammed down your throat" style of delivery). SourceFed Nerd is a great example.

THE REVOLUTION HAS SUCCEEDED, SOURCEFEDNERD HAS BROKEN THE CHAINS FROM THE IMPERIALIST NOWTHIS, ONWARDS LET US RID THEM FROM THE WOLRD TOGETHER FOR VICTORY!!!!

I've never been in this channel before, and all I was thinking was "Wow, this girl is ripping off Pop Trigger's look". Then I saw Brett. Silly me. Anyways, Subscribed 😁

and then poochie flew to his home planet.

I left Sourcefed when they stopped doing Superhero Roundup... Where they talked about Marvel and DC series

Stop . with. the hands.

Can we get an update? NowThis Nerd hasnt posted in three weeks, so im wondering if they've died?

Once I heard what happened I unsubbed immediately. I like sourcefed and sourcefed nerd because of the people. I can get nerd news anywhere. So they fired all the people i liked, killed the channel, and then brought it back to life and moved it around on puppet strings telling me it was going to be the same. They can suck it.

Don't forget Seeker Daily

Sorry but it is his fault he bought the old show and he did not hire any of the old host.

"While this wasn't our decision" who is he referring to with this 'our' ? I am genuinely perplexed.

NowThisNerd has good vids and I'm sure SourceFedNerd's representatives were not killed, abducted or threatened to SELL OFF their channel. Get angry to SourceFed, not NowThis.

Now This needs to die. They're taking away some quality channels. First, Seeker Daily, and now SourceFed.

I feel all Sourcefed did was read headlines. It felt like they were reading a news article and after every sentence, throw in a jump cut

Is this fuckin guy a spokesperson for nowthisnerd? Why the hell is he trying to justify them, how can you justify ANYTHING nowthis has done. This is my first video on this channel so I don't know how much about people like this Brett guy, but so far I don't like him

I'm an unsubber.

I didn't understand their reasoning behind the change. They bought a channel filled with people dedicated to the content they were making, scrapped it, then replaced it with a new host that said, "We are going to do the same thing as the people you fell in love with, because we know you'll like that" they didn't recognize the idea that we subscribed to the channel primarily for the hosts, not the content, because the hosts made the content better.

This is the only video I watched of theirs.. and it still infuriates me as much as the first time I sat through the bs 😠😠😠

You guys are just a spin off of a middle east propaganda channel...

Wait they reached 1million subscribers how is that "not doing well"

Guy with the cap and beard wishes he had 1% of the talent that the sourcefed crew has

I like candance and ava as persons, but they killed SF

What made SourceFed Nerd so great was the personalities of the hosts, and while some of the hosts were better than the others, they always had great entertaining hosts. I unsubed and can find better stuff with more entertaining hosts on many other channels.

There's also the political aspect. Phillip DeFranco is excellent at reporting stories in a balanced and neutral way. Whereas NowThis has quite an aggressive political agenda.

the trend analysis was nice

I feel a little bad for poor Brett here

I remember when he had to be the new face of InfoMania after they re-branded that, so I'm sure he has a bit of an idea what that NerdNow guy must be feeling

When Seeker Daily got taken over by NowThis, they released 9 videos and then stopped. They're last video is a month old. Also, those few videos were so unlike what Seeker Daily did, it was jarring. Seeker Daily would dive into the history of a topic, often related to something in the news, or they would examine some aspect of a foreign country and compare it the US. They would always present the facts impartially and let the audience reach its own conclusions. NowThis's videos seemed to be saying "Here's what's going on and here's how you should feel about it, duuuuuuuuudes."

Sourcefed Nerd was not losing subs, they were gaining them. the main Sourcefed channel had lost a lot of subs due to their Google/Hilary Clinton video, but even then, they had started gaining back those subs over the last few months.
