TheFineBros "React World" Disaster...

[Thunderbolt]

So recently TheFineBros announced "React World". A network that allows people from all walks of life create reaction videos, I repeat, REACTION VIDEOS, like the Fine brothers themselves. What they failed to realize was... well, reaction videos have been around long before THEIR first reaction video debuted; the moment they talked about licensing, fair use, and revenue shares, I knew something bad was about to go down. Sure enough, this raised a plethora of controversies, and of course, a LOT of subscriber loss... in just 1 day.

Long story short, the Fine brothers apologized to their fans and the entire YouTube community for this monumental screw-up. They have since removed both the "React World" "special" announcement video, and the apology video.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

They lost like hell of a subscribers

Their sub count drop as hell in past few days...
I really wonder how they'll recover from that.
I don't like their content at all, and I barely know them, but I hope for them they'll restore their popularity,
just because someone made a mistake, if they are really sorry about that and willing to fixing towards that,
So they deserve forgiveness from their viewers.
Again however, I don't really it's the case with them.

Haha! They pulled everything though, but still, the fear [and somehow their image of greediness] remains.
