Just wanting to see where everyone is at on this because I don't understand why Spill is now public enemies number 1 to 11 (however many there are of them).
The Channel(s):
Spill, a "tea" channel focusing on explaining and recapping YouTube dramas, began in September 2018 and rocketed to 900k in just under a year.
Spill was followed by another channel: Brew, which focuses on science, and then Grill, which focused on recapping the same topic whilst not being as entertaining as Spill.
The three began to reference each other in videos and pin each others' comments. They were legion. They were infinite. Their numbers began to darken the skies of every world.
Then came ANOTHER channel.
Endgame
"On the Hill" is an animated series (featuring Spill, Brew, Grill and even a guy named Chill interacting). It was at this point that people began to feel spill was more of a fictional character than a girl sat at home making videos, and that the authenticity wasn't there. After all, would you rather get your drama news from a human being, or a cartoon character?
The "Big Issue":
D'Angelo Wallace and Petty Paige have released videos claiming that Spill is not a fun group of friends making videos with each other, but an actual CORPORATION trying to run "authentic" creator drama channels out of down with superior manpower enabling them to crank out videos of high quality faster than a one man band. They claim that Spill steals other creators' sources and tweets and waits to release their videos after everyone else (so they have other drama channels doing their research for them effectively) then swoops in and gets all the views from their larger audience.
The Debunking?
After a few days radio silence, Spill released an 8 minute video today seemingly debunking this.
Watch it here
It's also worth noting that Spill's credit sections in their videos are usually very extensive.
But drama channels have been skeptical and dismissive on twitter. Petty Paige has made two videos on Spill in the last few days, and though public opinion still seems to be on Spills side today after that video, Paige promises that part three will change all our minds...
Conclusion?
So, what do you think? Personally, if what spill said is true I'm not fussed about a group doing YouTube. Channels like Rare Earth and Fort Nine clearly take more than one person to make and I appreciate the extra production power and research that goes into them. Why not have a group commentary channel, especially one that remains calm and focused on the receipts, not on deliberately stirring up hate and picking sides?
On the other hand, why not be more up front about being a group from the start? The lack of transparency did annoy me. How can we trust Spill if they're not open with us until they're forced to be? How do we know they weren't lying in their most recent video?
Tbh though, imo I feel like a lot of these drama channels are just jumping on and trying to squash a rival while they have the chance and it's actually made me lose respect for them (by which I mean Teaspill, already had zero respect for Nick Snidely and Dustin Dozy)
Yeah I could be looking like a clown soon, but Petty Paige has overpromised and underdelivered in the past...so maybe I'm not the one who should have some big red noses ready
