Channel Awesome: The Continued Downfall

If you ever find certain people on YouTube, odds are a few are part of a group or big website. As long as things are fine, there shouldn't be any big name issues. I don't know what is going on at Channel Awesome, but if you thought things were at the bottom, the hole just got deeper and bigger if this rumor is true.

Lately, a lot of people that have worked on Channel Awesome have left and the numbers keep dwindling down in support from subscribers and the people involved. Now, the supposed rumor is that Doug Walker, one of the original people for the site, has left it. If this is true, then it will be on that list of many dead websites. Odds are this is the one you remember the most because of his character, The Nostalgia Critic. That alone probably kept the site going over the years.

When a website runs well, it knows and is fully aware of what needs to be done in order to keep the same group of individuals. Plenty of support and content that can drive a site's numbers can reflect on their purpose. Whatever the main management at Channel Awesome did, it's all coming back to bite them via the Google Doc from a number of producers and administrators.

In a nut shell, whatever happened behind the scenes is enough to create more than just controversy. It will be a big stain on Walker's legacy as a YouTuber creator and website creator. From lack of understanding how things worked to unprofessional approaches to filming stuff, it is clear he didn't understand how to handle work in a good manner. He seems like he is trying to do whatever is necessary to hide from all of this. Looking at all the abuse, overworked environment, and administration being assholes, it's a miracle Channel Awesome even stayed relevant until the last few years. Luckily, a few of these people are still around and doing their own thing, but it's probably not worth it for others.

Whatever the case, this was going to end up sooner or later being exposed. This Mike Michaud was going to get the whipping he deserved, as will Walker. It's like what is going on in Hollywood this past year with all these accusations. Was it really worth it? I have a feeling Michaud and Walker will be kicking themselves and regretting all the shit they have done for the past 10 years. Fame is one thing, but to treat others like crap brought their website down.
