The Truth About YeahMad

Hey guys, sorry it's taken a million years to give answers as to what's been going on behind the scenes, that's my fugg up. Theres a lot of false information online so I felt it was important to address the questions everyones had on their mind with the video above.

Yes, This should've been done As soon as the rumours were out. I've been commenting this from the start. The channel took a big hit because of late communication.

[XTristin]

I just wanna know why did Abby, Alan, akila, Andrew, and Sam left yeah mad because we miss them

[TheMaverick_SR]

Miscommunication is a huge thing. Also things can change as well. It need not have to be there same as before

I feel like a bit has been skipped over here. It jumping from one cast member wanting more to then suddenly most of the original cast leaves? I really feel like that is a huge gap to gloss over.

Thank you Ben for the explanation of your side of the story. In any case, whatever is the case, it's sad to see yet again what money and the concept of it can do to relationships (to friends, coworkers, ecc, ecc).
I hope that everyone involved can grow from this for the better, and maybe reconcile on some level.
Peace and prosperity to everyone.

That's a heartening video, now we want to hear from the other crews their pov so that we know what's the real problem here

[mattanthony]

Thanks for sharing Ben. I appreciate hearing your side of the story

[robertostrife]

It's incredibly shady to say "they" would've been paid, by how many are we dividing here? Is it an equal split?

Also, they wanted a part of the profits, so why does the cost matter? That would already be taken into account.

[OddsAndSodsGarage]

Really disappointing to hear all this. When I found YeahMad I literally binge-watched EVERTHING. There was a magic w/ the original group, the interplay between them was really endearing and transcended the joke-telling for me.

You had lightning in a bottle, Ben. I think it's been smashed, it'll be tricky to catch it a second time.

[thescourgeofathousan]

You kind of skipped over the part where we go from one cast member getting over aggressive on negotiation to the whole cast bar Matt and Sath leaving.

[Here_comes_Hope]

Sorry to hear about all the mess and stress you had to go through.
Yes its good to be payed well, but that should never be more important then having a love and passion for what you do.

Wish you all the best of luck, old crew and new

[SiriusMined]

Whatever the reasons, the channel sucks now.
That said, as a business owner, I understand how little people understand about business.

[MarkVenable-uj]

Bring back old cast, they had great chemistry and seemed like old friends so even when the jokes didn’t land their interactions still made you smile. The new cast doesn’t have any chemistry, the two brothers are too busy flirting to be funny. The jokes land less and the interactions are awkward.

So, the people who actually create the product get at most 30% of the revenue generated from their creation?

[jbca]

Your math seems unclearly framed in terms of how much money any of them were paid. You didn’t measure it by individual, you just said the sum. I hadn’t heard there was any drama before this video but that description seems sus

[sh.....]

❤ listening to your side definitely helps me to understand... business is just that... business. And if you have someone who thinks that they deserve more than their fair share they have to go. Thank you for telling us the truth... I will start giving the new cast a chance ❤

[fireburnrs]

from all the apology or explanation videos ive seen on youtuve this has to be one of the best. Straightforward and honest, not looking for sympathy and not trying to attack

[amanrehman]

I feel like things could be sorted with more communication, more meetings, keeping cool. But I can't say that I don't think you tried. I think you did. Nice of you to come out and address it. Hoping to hear their side of the story as well because one side is always one side.

Thanks Ben. Appreciate this video. If there's any chance to bring people back for some videos, please be open to it.

[LunarySSF]

Annoying to have randoms having such dedication to be haters and make stuff up, I'll never understand that

[rad_my_g]

5:06 I think he’s talking about Hammo😢
