RTV1 #22 I think the channel's dying, I'm sorry, uhhhh, goodnight everybody

[Gimli09]

I could see Jenna in Tokyo Disney and I guess she'd either stay at Disney (which is OK, we're not all good at culture) or she would make the decision to go into Tokyo without thinking things through first and then the problems would start. Food, crowds, etc.

I've survived London several times, once when the main transportation system, the Tube was out of action due to a workers strike and I wouldn't want to go to Tokyo (and a few other major, major cities) because I know my limits.

Jenna knows her limits but then suddenly is OK with more, sometimes OK with less? Some foods at certain times are bad but not others, crowds are OK for Wednesday fireworks but shop crowds not OK on Friday?

It feels like something left over from childhood, where one day she was fine with eating at location A, but then the next time she felt unwell so they avoided location A but then she decided to go back there and everything was fine but then they tried location B and Jenna didn't like that so......

You either like spicy food or you don't. An ingredient or food group doesn't sit well with you or it does. Big crowds are either OK or they aren't. In young children I could understand, maybe they haven't figured things out yet. But someone Jenna's age should know by now what the hell is going on. And until she does, she really shouldn't go to such a different cultural location such as Tokyo.

For 2024, total gained subscribers was 16,000. For 2025 it was 10,000. Yeah sure keep doing piddly 3 1/2 hr streams looking at Stitchie merch and that’ll keep em coming. Maybe throw in a castle update once in a while.
We’re flatlining.

 

[Love_the_kitz]

What I'd like to know is for how long people are watching his live streams. Channel owners can see these numbers and, aside from YT, they're the only ones.

We know Josh is addicted watching stats. Probably more than is good for his mental health... or ours.
He expressed that he hopes people aren't leaving his channel to go watch others. That may mean he sees people are clicking in, briefly watching and then leaving and that it's happening more often.

 

[ITS_NOT_STITCHY]

I quit watching for the most part, because I got tired of so many things. Here’s the list:

Jenna‘s freaking laugh, the CONSTANT tummy troubles, the fact that she acts like a 12yo, creepy Tim, the fact that she indirectly begs for people to buy her stuff, Josh’s constant switching connections (“HIS” app is much worse than whatever most streamers use), most of his streams he just stands in one place rambling, always with the freaking peoplemover, constantly complaining about his money woes, complaining about the stream. Just to name a few.

His Biggest problem is that he used to do it for fun, then he made it into a business and his mindset changed.


I get so much more out of Goo and Matt’s streams. They always seem to have fun, and it definitely shows. GOO never talks about money.

Seeing Jenna go to Tokyo would be even funnier than when Prince Charming Dev went there in the middle of summer and was overheated. Do it, Jenna! Please!

It's bad when viewers notice a shift from ads which are there to support the stream, to the stream supporting the ads.

We've all felt this for years now: Josh no longer streams for fun. It's about money with a splash of ego on the side.

Whenever Goo has ads played on his stream i see people telling them in the chat. As soon as Goo sees them he doesnt crash out or saying it’s good for the channel, he turns them OFF and say sorry

That's very true, and I wasn't thinking about it from the youtube ad standpoint. Goo is very good like that.

I was thinking about those outside advertisers who Josh deals with in person, be it for windows, a knock off magic band reader, travel agents... or a cleaning service who used to be his biggest financial supporter, but mysteriously disappeared off to other channels after meeting Josh in person a few times.

I believe in contrast to Josh's revolving door of advertisers, Goo has one, that's it, and she's a travel agent who's there in chat. He mentions her once or twice and keeps it quick and pleasant, usually with a fun twist to relate it back to the day.

Josh's approach feels invasive. He has no less than 4 advertisers, each with a long spiel, and no emotional connection to the stream. He knows this, but he doesn't care.

That's a good point, Goo and a few others have a single sponsor, all are travel agents (makes sense) and I think all the sponsors participate in the chat. The advertising of said sponsors is not mechanical and robotic like Josh. But "hey of you need help try this person, she's great"! Also whether she is a sponsor or not, Tonya also mentions Robin each stream as she has a grocery delivery service for people staying at Disney. Another connection to staying/visiting Disney at least.

How many times Josh can possibly try and flog (sell) "Behind the Ride" to his viewers, I do not know. Also, how much money does that author dude have to still be a sponsor after all these years?

 

[Mr. Blue Sky]

Victor Nuraki (sorry for spelling) used to be a sponsor (Real Estate) AND he even popped in here occasionally.

And that blonde cheerleader with the soccer player husband used to be pals, maybe sponsors at once. She and Jenn were BFFs for a time. Poof...gone.

And the window shades and blinds company..from up north?

It cracks me up when Goo says, "She's what you would call a travel agent."

[YesNow]

Josh goes into full, scripted commericals. Then he'll repeat the name of the sponsor like he's on old school AM radio..."Go to surf shark.com.....that's surfshark.com." It becomes a big thing when he's with Jenna because sometimes they lose track of which commericals they already did, "Oh, did we do MagicBandReader?" He doesn't even try to make it sound natural.

Also, he doesn't sound passionate about any of his sponsors. I can't remember who it was, it may have been Goo, but someone said about their sponsor "and they really helped me when I went to X,Y and Z for the first time and they an do this and that etc etc". Create a story around the sponsor and make it more personal and less salesman talk.

Josh has a Disney book sponsor....there's never anything such as "I learnt something really interesting about Haunted Mansion from this book. Did you know?...blah, blah, blah......and there is so much more!".

I'll be his sponsor, but I insist that when he reads out my (fake) company details, he turns the camera on himself, wears a "I Love Pepsi" bin badge, a pair Mario ears (his choice of style) from Universal Studios, and he has to to be eating an apple at the same time. Finally, instead of singing "reindeers are better than people" he has to sing "apples are better than cookies, Pepsi is better than coke. Peoplemover is slow, of this we all know, God I miss the days when it was broke".

Yes Goo now only have one travel agent has a sponsor, she a great friend of them, she’s been a channel member for a long time and that lady recently moved to having her own travel company.

if i remember right i think 1-2 years ago Goo had 3 sponsors, 2 travel company ( one of them is still there ) and he had Clean Look Chomps and Sunshine. I’m not gonna start on the Clean Look story but i heard some of the things that happened and i think that Goo made the good choice of stepping away from him.

i know that a lot of people from the Goo’s chat was involved in Sunshine live streaming because Goo was redirecting his livestream to her but i think they lost all of them.

Wow, I wonder how a new streamer landed so many sponsors. I've only been watching Goo2You for about a year, so I don't recall any of this. I'm glad he found his balance. It's working well.

I think Chomps was a perfect match for Josh. They both seem to love money, control and predictibility.
The big difference between them was Chomps had Sunshine - the love of his life and his drive to do well and share the wealth.
Josh shares the wealth with no one and the love of his life seems to be himself, waiting on proof to counter this.

 

[UpsideDownWaterfall]

Jenna is back to watching Luminous. Right after it was done, Josh asks Jenna "Is this your first time watching it?"
Jenna "yup"
Josh "You did it!"

bleh

Goo has been live streaming for a little over 4 years now i think, i’ve been following him quite a while now.
I’ve seen a lot happening during that.

What you say about Chomps is 100% facts believe me

TWO WEEKS until RunDisney 10K!
Prepare your bets as Josh prepares for the event by heavy lifting a gimbal/phone and coke all at the same time.

Jenna was talking thru the route on the stream last night & Ralph seemed a little taken aback by the distance covered.
