Did you /read/ the Forbes article, however? And understand it? It explains everything, including how there are "usually no real tax savings" for smaller business...
did you read anything other than the Forbes article, once you realised it was there? they are not a small business. now kindly have a nice day :)
it might be helpful to Google "why do startups register in Delaware"... 😭
mate, there's a Forbes article about it linked. are you ok?
the Delaware thing is not the gotcha you think it is, lmao. I’m not an American and even I know that small start-ups regularly incorporate in Delaware because of the tax/legal benefits. you’re grasping at straws when you should probably move on with your life and stop spamming the tag if you’re so heartbroken over a basic business move
thanks have a nice day :)
did i really just find out that they don't pay taxes because they're registered in delaware with angel investors or is this a dream
Last post, with some findings that might help y'all move on too:
Disclaimer: I am not an accountant nor a tax professional. I am simply someone with an unused journalism degree who didn't need the 'goodbye youtube' video. Information is sourced from California Business Search, US Securities and Exchange Commission, and OpenCorporates
• Watcher Entertainment, Inc. was formed in 2019 in Delaware, and has a branch operating in CA. This seems to be the parent company that the trademarks (Puppet History, Watcher) belong to.
According to Forbes, "Delaware has become internationally recognized as a corporate paradise and is “home” to such famous firms as Amazon, Google, Tesla, Walmart, American Express and Disney, to name just a few. [...]
Corporations registered in Delaware that do not do business in the state do not pay corporate income tax. Delaware also does not have a sales tax, investment income taxes, inheritance taxes or personal property taxes. While companies do have to pay a franchise tax to register in Delaware, this can be pennies compared to the income tax other states would charge". They also point out that this is standard process for venture capital/angel investors. I would guess that 99% of traditional media in CA do this.
• There was a Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities filed to the SEC in 2019. The long and short of that is there were 8 investors at that point. That number is given on the filing.
• Although it appears the trio (Madej, Bergara, Lim) formed the company as directors and executive officers equally, by 2023 that wasn't the case.
As far the documents show - Shane is the Secretary, Ryan is the Chief Financial Officer and Steven is the Chief Executive Officer.
Lastly: I'm not advocating going to say anything to these people. Frankly, why bother. They've been shitheads, lots of people are in this world. But this helped me contextualise the last week and it might help you too. Stay silly :)
For a brief moment, alot of people in the watcher fandom unionized for better treatment as viewers. There were bad actors, bad takes, and heated words.
And the scabs now scream bullying because it worked.
!!!!!
see that we've moved into "they apologised so you are toxic for not forgiving" phase of cope. this is where I finally realise they did fire me as a fan. I don't fit in with the people that are left anymore.
they told us they're better than yt. that the audience who got their channel to where it is today is no longer bougie enough for them. that's absolutely anathema to why I watched them in the first place. ah well
What I wouldn't give for the glory days of powerpoints and colored text on a screen. Genuinely shocked and upset bc I never saw them pulling the rug out from under us like that and now I feel like everything was just a mask the whole time; like how much of it was even real and about the fun, the content (it may have better visuals and stuff but it doesn't come close to comparing in overall quality to Unsolved) and the community?
we parasocial'd too close to the sun, and idk about you, but I normally never parasocial. rough times.
do wanna say though, we gotta have basic faith in each other. we can't let this stuff make us too skeptical of others. but the watcher boys, yes, they were lying to us about some things. or at least omitting information they knew didn't line up with our values
do you still cherish the boys after their apology
yes they are sweet boys uwu
no it was over on friday
lads. What's happening. are we getting more cynical the longer we have to think about it
fwiw my notifications are still wild with people feeling hurt over this.
the poll is at about 45% of us that can't let it go.
we are not that small of a minority 🙃
tldr this is what he says:
- it is technically an apology, it includes the word sorry
- 3 huge existing revenue sources from fans. so why do they need to continue to "milk those titties dry"? (i know). he does not understand why they need to take more money off of fans in order to survive
- 12/19 of the recent videos have ads. charlie owns a brand partnership company. he reiterates that this is easily 6 figures not counting patreon etc. that they will not be having trouble getting sponsors, for several reasons.
- the jump from YouTube to an expensive third party platform still makes no sense
- writing off your existing channel as useless still makes no sense
YES EXACTLY
I’ve never had to block so many Shane/Ryan fans before. This fandom is unrecognizable in 2024…
the only reason this blog hasn't been overrun is pre-emptive blocking. there's no point them even seeing my posts. we liked very different things about the boys, clearly.
I'm not one to support internet people, generally. that's probably making it worse. it took a lot for me to say, okay, these guys seem consistently normal ig??
there's just no way I can emotional whiplash myself into forgetting the things they said 😂

I just can't get over the peek into what they really thought of the fandom
I'm with you mate. grim stuff

before this becomes history and their brand dies, does anyone have a screenshot of the entitled brat comment ? or was it a myth. didn't see it personally
be gentle with yourselves if you are gonna watch this lmao. 1 hour 10 minutes!
