#misfits thoughts

[uhohbillzo]

I'm back to ask what's up with Misfits Gaming once again

Where did they go? What happened to them? Why has there been no content & seemingly dead socials?? Did something happen behind the scenes?????

It seems so weird for a content company to just stop ....making content ????

[uhohbillzo]

aimsey was the first major minecraft creator signed to misfits and what eventually led to them signing beeduo, that might play into their favoritism towards him. but it is strange how they seem to be using guqsey for content when aimsey’s ex is still a manager at misfits though 😭

OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THAT LAST PART

wtf wtf wtf wtf that makes it S O much weirder ?????????

((& for sure aimsey is definitely a fan fave, & a management fave for getting tub & ran on board. Also ngl it just seems like they'd be around & up for making content for misfits more than anyone else lmao))

[uhohbillzo]

It always felt very deliberate that they bought tumbo and Ranboo at the same time right before the divorce the going theory was they wanted to make money off beeduo

oh I'm sure they did want that I'm gonna be real: I don't know how misfits makes money. Like at all, not even close, I have no idea how that business model is profitable for anyone ???? Which seems like a red flag, but I'm also dumb so there's that lmao

but I wouldn't believe for a second that the shipping bait content isn't intentional on their part. It gets clicks, it gets views, it makes money. But beyond the name recognition of the people they've signed & putting them in the title/thumbnail, I genuinely don't think misfits knows what to do with their CCs. I think they see what content appeals to audiences, but they don't seem to understand why, or what about the content makes it work & preform well. Which imo is why they seem to struggle to replicate it (like how the skydiving video should've been 2 separate videos, with the first building anticipation for the second, so both videos would get over all more engagement than just the one with the skydiving montage at the end, but I digress)

misfits has always been surprisingly bad with consistency in the details. they need another person to edit for things like that and also to actually keep up with their ccs. if you go to https://misfitsgaming.gg/creators/ they still have weird mistakes like tubbo's twitch link being for his alt. easy mistake but also easy to double check.

i think it does make sense for an org to branch out into content and rely less on esports bc that side of the industry isn't doing great right now, but the rebrand feels a little too targeted at the youngest part of their audience. it's just a little too cutesy for me. and imo the new merch is the worst stuff they've released.

I didn't even know they had merch, but bro,,,,, wtf is that 😭

& ur definitely right about the overlooking the details thing, it's so weird to me bc like you could hire any 17 year old that uses the internet & they'd be able to know to do those things instinctually. just a bad look for a brand imo

I think the rebrand as a whole was a great idea & a solid move, but messy execution (just like paint day & the sky diving video lmaoo)

[uhohbillzo]

there have been several creators who were in content before they were officially announced. i wouldn't be surprised if that's the case for guqqie, although it's a bit strange how long it's taking if that's true. if not i'd bet that there's some other kind of compensation outside of being officially signed. misfits does play favorites sometimes but ultimately i think it has a lot to do with contracts. either way the guqqsey stuff feels weird to me though. they're copying every single popular couple trend right now which seems like a bad idea for a relatively new and relatively young couple. it might be different on their own channels but i don't like it in branded content

agreed, although personally I think they play favorites with audience size as a factor as well. If guqqsey were together in a normal amount of content I wouldn't think it was weird, but like....

what is this lmaooo it's like 60% aimsey 25% guccsie 10% ranboo & 5% all other creators

idk I wouldn't feel comfortable with a company using my relationship like that, but I'm not them, so unless they say they have a problem with it I'll just feel weird in my corner lmaooo

trolololol I saw that one coming. If Antonia left Misfits, then Iwan too. They are probably going to send Simon to the past, to that one time he died saving her and it's done, both of them are dead and gone.

Poor Simon, this girl is playing him so bad. Sigh. He's so awkwardly adorable and this cute girl is just using him to find out about her crazy and very DEAD boyfriend. Geez.
