It's 5AM And I Think The Cobra Kai Finale Block Is Solved lol (Patreon)
Content
Alright guys, some Tom Holland Trailer - I think Cherry - is coming out so I gotta get a little bit of sleep but for those pledged to our Patreon who came here after Cobra Kai, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Had to do a few edits to make sure the finale would be visible on youtube but I think after a couple blocks, it's finally okay! Gonna wait to publish at our usual time around 10AM PST.
But look peeps, I HAVE to talk from the heart here. When I say I'm grateful to all who are here, and to those who have joined as of late, I friggin mean it.
Half of our reactions for Cobra Kai were de-monetized, and these take a lot of work to get right - I mean Im posting this at 5AM haha. I spoke with other reactors, at least 3, who completed their reactions for the series or are almost done, and for some reason the studios who claimed that Tom Cruise vid of ours (Sony Latin Music peeps) of ours have been claiming ours consistently within an hour after uploading since episode 5 - that's WAYYYY more claims than those I spoke with and on top of that I've been much more meticulous about using less footage due to this issue and readjusting audio way more but for some reason we are getting claimed within the hour. Often times, they're claiming multiple parts of the video (timestamps are included in these claims) where there's not even footage or audio but they keep the ad revenue and there's really no fighting these guys.
It's incredibly frustrating, yes, when these take like 6-8 hours on average to get EVERYTHING just right for youtube, however, we have really noticed just how many people have come over here since posting these Cobra Kai reactions. That seriously means so much to us to have that support after being up till like 4AM many days in a row only to have these claims on what is most certainly fair use as evident by the other reactors I've talked to (at least 3).
So, as much as I'm being honest about my frustration with this particular issue, my gratitude outweighs the frustration hence why I wanted to make sure to get this up on youtube today because of you boys & girls who have shown your support since we started watching this season. Like, seriously, you have no idea how much I mean it. When you're spending this many late night hours, and you have kind folks like yourself contributing to this patreon page afterwards, it was literally the MAIN thing that kept me motivated to keep working through the night to honor YOUR pledges. So thank you again, I love you, and keep a lookout haha.
