Great, I got spoilers about Phyrrah a day before the episode.
Now they'll just kill severely diminish their fan-base as what little drama they had dies out when everyone knows everything.
RT as a whole has been shilling their sponsored stuff for a long time, but especially hard recently.

I think the cliffhanger was intended (Jewy as they might be, they had a lot of love for Monty, and doing anything against the show bible he laid out would be "sacrilege". I still think the tourny was cut short, due to both the resources Monty actually had vs. his vision for the show + Monty's death

>Interesintg, any idea on why?
They got older. I'm in my mid-20s now and I admit being far older than the target audience when I started watching RvB. Their audience is now working instead of binge watching their stuff. Admitably, school has been replaced by work, but work makes you feel tired to the point you don't even do anything for FUN except very menial shit. Their audience either plays vidya, does stuff with people (becoming normies) or watches other people on youtube who tailor to their tastes more.
Christ, I remember back on cuckchan when people talk about RvB going down-hill, and that was before the fight scenes. So if 2 people in their audience left for every 1 that joined, thats how they got here.
But like >>12718 says, they are now part of a bigger studio, who will demand more money. They scramble to meet that demand and piss off their bosses when they fall shy of it, and STILL they double their demand each year I'd bet.
Funhaus also joked i a vid that "We're like Achievement Hunter but for people over 25". I wonder if buying up the other studios is part of "diversifying" to get different people? (ScrewAttack came with the new boss. GameOverGreg's KindaFunny for the SJW clique, etc).
Irony is, they might be better off with Patreon or a tip-jar system. No one is going to turn off ad-block (unless you can do it per-channel, but even then).
Worse case, RT dies and a fan project picks up trying to remake RWBY, and fails miserably never getting more than episode 1 WIP.
Best case, RT dies/goes back to their roots and some decent animators & story writers are pulled in to deal with later seasons of RWBY. The current VAs get training (master the monotone so they don't sound like anime in more serious scenes), and they hire 5 people to fill in the pure autism Monty's animation did.
