Copyright Claim Issues

First off, I'm sorry y'all are having to deal with this. Just in the last two weeks, JoJo's and MHA have been targeted with a barrage of copyright claims. Thankfully this isn't the end of world (getting strikes), and we have a couple things we're doing behind the scenes to fix this. However, if our plans continue to fail, we will do things HunterxHunter style, with no show footage, timer based, full length reactions. Thank you for being patient with us as we work to solve this problem. - Caleb and Jacob

Whatever you guys need to do! Hopefully you don't get a lot of pushback, I love your stuff! Your reactions and in-depth discussions are fantastic, hope you don't get a lot of pushback!

Let the tenners in on monthly movie night :v

HxH has it's episodes on YouTube and already synced in the comments too. For Jojo you either have to get a crunchy roll sub (unless you want at the very least three ads in every video), download it or go to some shady streaming website that probably also has ads in the video plus it just being unreliable in general with their constant buffering. Imagine somebody beginning to watch this starting right now, if the trends continues on from episode 23 then until now to the end of DIU you'll have to do this 64 times, not counting the last one which isn't full length of course. Maybe even more if the copyright goes the HxH route and early content has to be re-uploaded in this form. I'm not saying this is an absolute nightmare just that this is going to be quite annoying for some people. There are cons to doing full length just the same as there are edited ones, I don't know why all you say is "shut up it's minor lol". Just because Mr Uber Fan Patreon isn't bothered by it doesn't mean a casual viewer won't be.

I'm pretty sure they would start including the discussion in the fl reactions as well, if they had to change format, it's what they did when HxH switched to fl, they started including the discussion with it.

I did marathon their HxH reaction till I caught up, and it was still no effort to sync it up between episodes, so I still don't see the issue. A few moments every 20 - 60 minutes, depending if you watch the discussion, really isn't that much work, even if you are binge watching it. The only people who have a legitimate complaint are the ones who can only watch on mobile.

Woodsie89

can you post them somewhere else?

Ryan Tang

At least berserk is safe whew

Jcw490

Still pretty early in the day for them..

Thilde

So... are you guys going to post Haikyuu today or what?

Andy L

Well the silver lining is at least there'd be less editing for you guys to do >_> Real talk though if you guys end up having to just do timer reactions, then that's perfectly acceptable!

Daniel Shaw

It's still imporant tho, not for us but for bros, cause if they just keep letting $10 videos for free then many people will drop their pledges from 10 to 5, and that will affect their income

Lucy

Yeah it's no effort if you're watching it once a week but did you even read what I just said? Yes you would if you were marathoning it and you had to stop and take a little intermission after every video to sync it up, it'd break the flow of things. It's not like i'm complaining about this, but it'll drive off newer people. All i'm saying is don't dismiss legitimate complaints and call people lazy.

Barry Chuckle Best Boy

It's what blindwave does with their Aot and CG reaction. They post the discussion on youtube, and have the actual reaction on their web site, through Vimeo, It works out well.

Woodsie89

No, that's actually reasonable.

Woodsie89

No I wouldn't, it takes literally no effort, I really don't get the people who get annoyed by this. You are getting the FULL reaction, for absolutely nothing, and next to no effort on your part to sync it up.

Woodsie89

It takes you 2 minutes maybe? It is annoying but so are other things in life.

Mitja Strajnar

I open the reaction in youtube and download the episode then play it in bs player or something in lower right corner and sync it with video. I don't know if you are able to download from crunchyrol and similar legal sites and I don't encourage you to download from illegal ones but that is what works for me and it is easy to do.

Mitja Strajnar

"who are just too lazy to make the little effort required to pullup the series on other window and synk it" What about people who are watching it all at once later and not watching it once per week like us? It's not like you can just go into the comments and click on a sync link since the episodes aren't on youtube. Would you not be annoyed if you had to sync it up every video?

Barry Chuckle Best Boy

Because it's far easier to do with HxH because the episodes are on youtube so setting it up on viewsync or youtube multiplier is simple.

Barry Chuckle Best Boy

it is a good solution tho

Diwan Roka

I'm fl too but the discussions are in the early access videos, so it affect us anyway

bennydelon

FK THIS

Michał Zienkiewicz

So I decided to increase my pledge to $15, as I usually do without any cash on my bank initially as Patreon bills me monthly anyway. But it tried to bill me TWICE this month instead of waiting, and now I am stuck at “pledge cant be processed” what a bull lmao. I cant even revert to $10 ^^

Michał Zienkiewicz

it's not all about the money you know

uwu owo

well i watch em full length anyway so doesnt affect me

uwu owo

I think better solution would be to post discussion only on youtube/early access and the reaction part somewhere else with the link under the discussion, that way you won't be giving away the $10 priviledge for free

Lucy

yea all youtubers get targeted right now... I just wish we had a good alternative to go to. I mean not youtube. Once people leave youtube in masses they cant stay with this shit

Yuion

lmao you can't take 5 more minutes just to pull up an easily accessible tab while getting more content because it's full length without paying $10, can't relate

l

So that mean we lose another $10 privilege patrons? No im not complaining (as im only $5 patrons) but if copyright strikes keep getting every single show you guys reacting to, i think its a good idea to think about another privileges for $10 patrons. Yeah hate me, downvote, idc. Peace, still love u guys anyway

Zainali

As long as u r not asking for mire than $15 for them I m fine. Just do ir calculations right n FORWARD <3

Michał Zienkiewicz

No prob

Michał Zienkiewicz

Don't sweat it too much guys! I enjoy the timer anyways lol

Erasurehead

Absolutely agree.

Tammi M

Does not effect me in anyway as i watch all the reactions in full length anyway... Sure its bad for people that are watching from phone or who are just too lazy to make the little effort required to pullup the series on other window and synk it... but for others you get full reactions without cuts and its less work for them to not have to cut it(maby we could get more wink wink) and also this way there is no fear of copyright claims.

Burni

I'm sure people will do the same for MHA and JoJo. Why would HxH be the only exception?

Willem Dafoe

Sorry, but the day I have to go out of my way to manually sync stuff is the day I stop watching. I stopped watching the Megalobox reactions because of it and the same will happen to the other ones. HxH works well because there is someone nice enough in the youtube comment section doing the sync for us, but that's an exception.

Jo

Don’t need to be sorry. I’ll be watching in whatever format would be easiest for you two to do.

Nick Heiney

I think supporting someone on Patreon for any amount of money comes from a place of appreciation for what they are doing. I've been a patron since literally minutes after their announcement went up a year ago and i certainly wouldn't have been if it was only for the extra content i get because that would make absolutely no sense from a financial standpoint alone. That being said however neither do i like nor can i actually afford to throw my money at people just because i like them or what they are doing. If you can and want thats great but i'm not about that life and would like at least some value for my hard earned money.

Dave Lorenz

No. the format would be like the hunter x hunter videos

Craig Starbird

So MHA and Jojos will only have the full length reaction and not the regular one? Would we still have to be a $10 patreon to access those?

Riru (〃^▽^〃)

Is it the same company hitting you guys because Blind Wave,Sammie Kohn Kimchi & Tofu, DeeBee Geek and more have been getting MHA (You guys are the only ones doing JoJos) Claimed the last few weeks. The claims come in as Toho but if you dispute it they go to a company called comeso.org and then after a month they drop the claim...

No0neAtAll

upload the file to Google drive.

fullscreenultra

so long as you guys keep trying to post the normal edited reactions first before switching to full length, I'm fine with this.

Frederick Jaskowski

I mean most people, maybe not you, dont just give the money because they wanna see the reactions, they do it because they really appreciate and want to support caleb and jacob in their attempt to enjoy the vast world of anime with their fanbase that loves them and their analyses. That being said, i do think their should be extra perks to paying more and they definitely understand that and will surely address it when the time comes :)

Noah Crowder

Dont worry guys do whatever you have to, I come for the discussions. Reactions are just a bonus

Jagotron

Totally makes sense. If we find a stable solution for the long term, we can stop this trend.

Semblance of Sanity

I agree, if too many shows become full length on youtube there's no point in giving more than $5. Hopefully they can get it fixed.

john

“Thankfully this isn’t the end of the world” Except in the case of JoJos where it technically is.

Canadian_Caesar

JoJo has been known to have problems with any footage being shown. Along with anything that has TBS logo on it like megalobox.

Astro

full length with epsiode runnin on my phone is the place 2 be

Hbitz

I watch everything in full lenght anyway so this doesn't really concern me but if this trend continues i struggle to find a reason not to drop down to the 5$ tier.

Dave Lorenz

😊👌🏼👌🏼

Paula M

Whatever is easiest for you guys works for me.
