I used to enjoy this in a slightly trashy way, but they've stopped using YouTube, and just publish on their own website now.

Does anyone still watch it now they have switched to their own platform?

I appreciate they need to make a living and all that, but it must have lost them a chunk of their audience.

nope, not watched it since it went behind a paywall.

Be interesting to know what there audience figures look like now, and if they are better or worse off?

I watched quite a bit of it on Netfix and Amazon Prime, but when that ended, I didn't bother with any more of them, certainly wouldn't pay for it as a stand alone.

Nope. Used to like it but not enough to pay to subscribe.  I do think that creators need to be paid for their efforts though so make a point of letting most of the YouTube adverts play (of the ones that don't last several minutes).

I abused the free trials for a bit but I actually ended up joining up permanently- not worth it for Roadkill alone these days but I watch some of the other shows and that adds up. TBH roadkill itself just got so tired for a while, and I think the shakeups and stress in the company didn't help, but on the other hand some recent episodes have been great now they're mixing up the leads (Tony Angelo and Fnnegan is a good pair I reckon...)

If you like the build stuff I'm working through a load of Skid Factory vids just now, it's kind of mighty mods without the bullshit. I have a wee bit of a man crush for turbo yoda...
