I feel like I'm missing out on something because I don't have any feelings towards this at all. Everyone is either angry or laughing and I'm just over here not even caring. I think their idea was stupid but other than that I have no feelings about it. I'm just like eh whatever.
What!?
I've never seen anyone do something so repugnant and impardonable. Also the fact that they are trying to control all react videos on YouTube.
Trying to copyright a item made by the intellectualities of the author themselves is extremely ignorant and distasteful. There has been react videos since the dawn of YouTube and now they had the idea of copyrighting other people's publications.
I have very negative and agitated feelings over this action that has caused a large amount of negativity on YouTube. If people want to make react videos, let them make their own react videos instead of being part of a company that is now doing it for the money.
I'm glad that a immense group of people are working together to prevent the trademark from being proccessed in retaliation, Viva la revolution. Then they state that they aren't "trying to take control of it"...Oxymoron at it's finest.
Now the backalsh, they're basically stating opinions and facts that are contradictory to their earlier opinions in general.
If they want to keep their channel running and keep their company in buisness, they should just remove the trademark to prevent any futher loss as it's happening right now due their 300,000 subscriber loss. As i was typing this Rant/Backlash/React-oh wait-wouldn't this immense postbe removed because it's a reaction?...Of course! Thanks to FineBros, they've done the most ignorant move you can ever do on any form of Social Media. Now back to the post...as i was researching, more than 100...yes...100+ Videos have been removed since they aren't affilated with their company in anyway along without "getting permission".
There's some Reaction channels i'm subscribed to but their videos have been pulled due to the trademark. There could've been an easier solution instead of "being the dictators of a fanbase" such as a type of website you can sign up for or a permit of relation.
I should probably stop typing since i'm eventually going to break post limit, but this the most repugnant thing a YouTube channel has ever done.

It's stupid and harmful, which is precisely why people are, to put it fittingly, reacting to it.

they seem to be doing a fine job of that themselves :^)
I really love their videos but they themselves are being a**hats about this. If it is a widely used youtube video style you can't just frikking do that and try to trademark that. No one else who made these types of videos ever tried to trademark it and I am sure if someone else tried to the Fine Brothers would be just as mad as other people are. Again their videos are great but this was an a** move.
ohhhh snap
tbh I don't even care about react videos, so this is news to me
but the fact that I'm completely unsurprised I guess says something
Yeah, in my opinion that is just sick, and I bet they only did it for the money

Someone else made a comment on this thread about how the Fine Bros actually have responded to the hate, but they think it just made things worse. I was reminded of Sam Pepper responding to people's hate towards his "prank" and how that just made people hate him even more. I was comparing the aftermath of the situations, not the situations themselves.

So, they've dropped everything and, "apologized."
As a very small YouTuber, big guys like Fine Bros making content claims against me is one of my biggest fears, frankly because with the way YouTube is set up, there's nothing I could do about it.
Anyways, I was gonna do a big write up about this whole thing, and why it was bad, and how some people are misunderstanding some things. I didn't last night, because I was super tired. But, it's over now so I won't.

oh my god that is so funny
they've lost so many subscribers?? they had over 14 million before and now they have less than 13.8 million this is still hilarious
i think this reaction (the apology) is like...,, rly forced.,,, i mean they were totally into it and thought everyone would love it but now they gotta try to save themselves so they try to cove it up.. i don't really care tho, i just think it's rly funny
