What Happened To SOURCEFED and SourceFED Nerd? 😮🤫😱

Source fed and source-fed nerd a channel that my own face appeared on in the past when it comes to their movie clubs and their Community interactive videos part of the nerd generation they really exploded two channels that were started by Philip DeFranco as some kind of kind of incubator program basically YouTube was handing out money for new creative environments more projects and handing out some money to Philip DeFranco and he started the SourceFed nerd team news articles sketches based around technology and nerd culture video games entertainment that kind of thing and even once again a movie club this was a really solid Community it was based around everyone that kind of loved Philip DeFranco and the hosts that were on there that were really engaging they quickly gained a following based on the humor their engaging style and just how unique the content was everything was fun all around the time when once again this was the the Boost of the Teen generation within the YouTube platform the teens into the 20s during the whole emo 2000s 2010s even to the point where in 2015 they had over a million subscribers on each Channel even to the point we're at their Peak Philip DeFranco chose to let the project go let them spread their own wings and sold them to a digital company digital networks for that matter now this is where it slowly become a problem at that Peak they had all of their names all of their personalities and that's what the channel hung off of the comedy stylings of the hosts the interactions they could even develop new hosts as they brought them in and gave them a specific style whether it's anime or gaming or whether it happens to be a movie Buffs or that kind of thing I was very much entrenched in this community I loved it it was that community that made me want to be a YouTuber all those years ago and I started creating my own content for the movie clubs unfortunately by 2017 a lot of the original hosts had left whether it was through creative differences whether it was lifestyle differences whether they wanted to go off and create their own content but by 2017 digital Network announced that they were shutting down the channels due to financial constraints and things like that this truly did spark a widespread Outreach of disappointment from the fan base digital networks even try to Rebrand it into I think it was this now this now nerd now this nerd and that that really annoyed the last remaining people subscribed to the channels because effectively they've bought a YouTube subscriber base they've got rid of the hosts or the hosts have now gone and now you're trying to rebirth It From the Ashes of the original Channel this was the final nail of the coffin former hosts went on to create new things like the valley folk which has its own drama and after the whole backlash of rebranding the digital Network team agreed that maybe stealing all the YouTube subscribers and rebranding it for a new channel was the wrong thing to do so they announced on the YouTube channel that there was re-establishing the old videos and they'll be using it as a an archive kind of like a a memoriam to everything that happened to have been source-fed nerd and SourceFed the channel I believe is still available it doesn't publish any new content and then now this team went off and created a new channel which they announced elsewhere it just goes to show unfortunately you could have a really engaging idea a really massive Community but sometimes corporate entities can kill things corporate entities can suck the life out of things oh things just disintegrate over time in my opinion Source fed and source with nerd is one of those channels that is really going to be felt by the community now that it's gone and if you want to know why other YouTubers fell off and where they are now I've got an entire playlist here go and check it out
