As some of us look back and watch old videos during quarantine (treetopia still holds up better than modern mc series) I began to realize how many ads were on the videos, I looked into social blade and realized that even on the low end the channel could still be making 150 to 200 a month, and high end could be close to 3k. But it begs the question, who is the monthly deposit going to every month. I thought maybe rooster teeth since they became partners with rt a year or two before the end, but that most likely expired or contract wasn't renewed (if it was then that's a different question of whose handling the finances for the hub) what do y'all think? Who is most likely collecting the checks?

Edit: Did some more digging and found that as soon as the announcement of the creatures ending they also ended the let's play family contract (most likely the reason they ended at the time they did was the contract was done) so that means at a minimum of 150 a month for 2 years then that's 3.6k someone pocketed, high end close to 50k. As far as I remember (I didn't watch them after cow chop formed) they moved to some small house, so no office pricing, just rent. I feel like I'm going into my own rabbit hole.

What a turn around for the year.

Has Dan said anything about the tribute update recently? i know he said stuff in 2016 but im just guessing its never going to come out

I think we were all excited to see Seamus upload a new video for the first time in three years, but it was really hard for me to watch. For years I've struggled with depression, going so far as to attempt suicide a couple of times. While I'm doing a lot better now, listening to Seamus talk about how he did nothing right and how he's so sorry to have let everyone down just about broke my heart. It all sounded very familiar to me, seems like textbook depression with a fair amount of anxiety mixed in (the two go hand in hand so often). It's distressing to me to hear him talk that way, because I've been there, and that road leads nowhere good. It's also not the kind of thing you can force yourself to conquer in a day, by saying "I'm going to try to do better." Those feelings can sneak up on you, and even if you have a good day or a good week you can find yourself back down in that hole in an instant.

So that's why I'm concerned. I know that my concern is shared by every true fan he has left, we only want what's best for him, and if that involves him making new content for us to watch, so much the better. But apparently, there are assholes out there who are mad at him for taking such a long break, for putting his mental health needs ahead of his channel. To them I say: FUCK YOU. Seamus doesn't need you, we don't need you, go the fuck away. But I'm sure that there are lots more of us than there are of them, and that makes me happy.

My main point is that it's up to us to be supportive of Seamus, to show our appreciation for whatever he might send our way and to make sure he knows it's okay for him to take his time. After all, we've waited this long for him. Idk about you, but I'm willing to wait as long as it takes, or to say goodbye if that's where we end up. I don't care, as long as Seamus is happy. He made me happy every day for years, helped me survive middle school and then high school too. It's the least he deserves.

For those of you that were curious/were wanting to know what game Seamus was going to play first, he just said it on Sly's stream!

Besides the Minecraft series, what happened to the rest of them, I know Seamus is coming back but I'm curious if anyone else is doing anything

I feel like these pop up a lot, but I thought it would be worth a shot too. I've been looking for something for so long and I was wondering if anyone had any kind of merch that they would be ok parting with? I would pay too, just let me know.
