Episode Summary
I didn't cover every little detail, but I talk about the main reason I think Sourcefed was cancelled. To explain it in more detail down here, I think Sourcefed was a risky business model. "SNL for YouTube mixed with news". The point was for Sourcefed to be a stepping stone to greater things for the hosts. In theory, that sounds amazingly freeing. In practice, I think it's extremely difficult for an audience to accept. Plus straight up the old hosts are an incomparable package that absolutely kill it on screen every time. So take that, combine it with a parent company that doesn't really understand what's going on, then add a merger where the main goal is clearly to restructure and hit certain verticals, (sourcefed is a very hard brand to fit into one category), then mix in hosts who are still learning the ropes of presenting news, and trying their best to build chemistry with each other...you have yourself a big cancellation pie. I hold no ill will towards anyone or any company. As much as I wish it didn't happen, because I would've stayed at sourcefed as long as it existed, I understand the reason behind it.
Synopsis
Now that Sourcefed is closed, Steven leaves the office and drives away. At a loss for what to do, he goes to visit his best friend Cib. They do their secret handshake, but Steven is horrified to discover that Cib and his roommate John have started vaping. Steven tries vaping, but "nics out" in an allergic reaction to nicotine.
Steven and Cib go out together. They are distracted by a goose. Together, they go and look at luxury cars before going for brunch. At brunch, Steven discusses the Sourcefed situation. He says that while everyone at Sourcefed knew that things were going downhill due to their high turnover rate and distant parent company, they were all surprised when it actually ended. He also says that he plans on meeting up with friends for vlog shoots. Steven thanks all the new subscribers who came over from Sourcefed. He and Cib spend the rest of their day together at the beach.
