McElroy & Polygon appreciation blog! I'm Franni and I'm a real gamer who only drinks game milk.

In the first Polygon stream since Jenna’s layoff, the Polygon video stream express their sorrow and frustration with the move by Vox media. They plug her projects and social media handles. The chat shows their support by flooding the chat with “Js.”

This moment in monster factory is a gem:

Justin’s memory of a nonexistent meme

Griffin’s utter confusion

Clayton captioning his thoughts

The Oscar bait cutscene of the search for the ‘how I make bread’ guy

Griffin’s lawn mower laugh

Just *chef’s kiss*

I hope you don’t mind me messaging but I saw your reblog and I’m glad other people are disappointed in polygon. I’ve pretty much finally given up on them, after maybe a year of holding out for them to get better again - it’s such a shame that they’re not sticking with the winning formula of being... fun? I really feel for pat, Jenna, etc. I wonder what the business-reasons stuff stopping them from making Gill and Gilbert era content now?

Yeah, I feel you... it’s just kind of sad and frustrating :/

I think the main reason why most Youtube channels/content creators have longevity and stay relevant is because viewers get invested in the actual people. Like, someone can make amazing content, but if they suck as a person I probably wouldn’t stick around. Right now new viewers barely even have an opportunity to get invested in the video team bc it’s all highly-polished video essays focused on content alone. It just seems to me that while this generates decent amounts of views, there are no new real fans... if that makes sense.

At the end of the day I think having a dedicated, invested group of viewers is more important than having a lot of people who just watch one video because it showed up in their recommendations. 

And really, I don’t quite understand why they aren’t allowed to make their old style of content at all anymore either. It seems like a no-brainer to just mix silly and more serious content, but who knows what the execs are hoping for. I sincerely hope they might be able to make more silly fun content again in the future, but yeah, I’ve also kind of given up hope at this point... 😞

Eternally frustrated that Vox coporate enforced such a flawed business model on Polygon that it drove away both a lot of their viewership and their most popular content creator but just went “well that happened. carry on as usual”

[Image ID: Three gifs of Jenna Stoeber and Simone de Rochefort. They are both wearing all black and are in front of a wall-to-floor green screen. In the first gif, Jenna is talking to Simone and shrugs. In the later two gifs, Simone slowly and connivingly puts her hands up to Jenna’s face, causing them both to laugh in the final gif. End ID]
