To quote my own postrizzo wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 5:21 am i love and agree with a lot of your post but am struggling with your suggestion that they're essentially ending all collab content permanently. i don't think that's the case. while i'm not certain this is the definitive end of dapg, i fully expect a replacement project/content/channel if they do decide to let it go. and even at absolute minimum, relatively regular join ls's are a must. (even once a month would be better than nothing.)
having them just create solo channel content seems... boring? and i recognize that there's a lot of 'life things' to be done, but like..... don't you want to see them? how will you enjoy those life things? a yearly mukbang?
i recognize i'm projecting my Wants on the situation, but like... yeah, that's exactly what i'm doing. i want content. i want to be able to see dan and phil banter, grow, share their experiences, flirt, etc with us and i genuinely think they recognize that want from us. that's their bread and butter. i mean just go look at the most viewed videos on their (well... maybe just phil's) channel. it's Dan and Phil™ content.
so like... i'm here for the dog and the forever home and phil's new space and all the life things, but i don't think that should or will come at the sacrifice of content. not while their phandom is still standing strong and begging to watch them grow in that capacity.
I'm definitely, absolutely sure we will get joint content next year, I just have no idea in what capacity. I'd be a hell of a lot more devastated if I thought it was the end of joint content - which I don't.idk wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 4:36 am I’m still 110000% sure we will get joint content in some capacity. In what capacity? I don’t know. I’d love a podcast, I’d love something more chilled and real, if you will. I'm open to many possibilities. They’re not leaving Youtube any time soon of that I’m sure.
I think one of the main takeaway sentences of the live show comes from Dan: “It’s all in the service of doing even better things for you to enjoy.” It’s a very optimistic thing for him to say imo. This is a good thing, a great thing. I’m very excited to see where they go next.
And I agree with you, life things are no fun to have/see unfold if we don't get to ~talk about it with them, see them take on these steps in a manner beyond just seeing their backgrounds change.
I don't know what they'll do and I don't know what I think they'll do. There will definitely be joint content in addition to solo content, I'm sure of it. Whether they make a collab channel or a podcast or w/e I have no idea and beyond a podcast (and joint liveshows) I don't know what else (other than a joint collab channel for various vids) they'll do. And I think this might be the case for them too. I just think gaming for them is over.
