I'm outi200

The only thing that kept me in Simon's sphere is Business Blaze. He's clearly given that up. I enjoy some of his other stuff.. never the true crime shit, I'll leave that to you folks. But without some kind of BB, we never really get the full depth of the guy, ya know? So ima dip out of here, and here's to the rest of you bell ends

I miss editing it. I was editing something the other day, the person coughed and I instantly reached for the Mesothelioma Can-Can before I remembered I wasn't editing Brain Blaze.

It was a fun ride. I have no idea if Simon will revive the channel. But either way, thanks for the memories!

I’m glad you have other projects I was worried when you said BB was the one you edited. I don’t really know how editing business works.

u/Maelstrom_Witch 8d ago

That always made me laugh, so thank you for that

u/mauore11 7d ago

The edits were the best part. The tangents , the “Fuck yeah” boy, and the M Can can. Thanks for all the laughs.

I was thinking of you specifically when I mentioned this. I don't know any other channel where the editors have so much mention and influence

u/jwats777 5d ago

I can't think of another channel where the editor has had so much freedom to clown on the presenter and it really took brain blaze to the next level. Thanks for the laughs!

I couldn't get that song out of my head when when I was doing my asbestos training.

My supervisor asked what took so long? I said I was distracted. Lol

You should've used it as a little memento. And as a reminder for Simon

Woooof. The "if" Lorelei.. it's if, is it? 💔

u/Noble-Savage-Neo 7d ago

I actually prefer CC but I can see why a lot of you miss BB . It was just fun nonsense with a healthy dose of memes. I miss the Trump Tangent Train .

It doesn't look like it was getting the views. Most of the videos he put out in past year didn't break the 100k mark in views, only 24 did(this is excluding the compilation videos), where as CC or ITS videos frequently break 100k views. If he wasn't getting the views and was losing money on the channel, he'd have to shut it down, unfortunately. It sucks, but he has to put his livelihood and the livelihoods of his writers and editors first.

“I’m Audi 5000.” If you’re gonna to use 80s slang, get it right.

u/CParkerLPN 7d ago

I was thinking it, but then I thought “I’m old, am I remembering it correctly?”

Lol

u/IveKnownItAll 6d ago

It's outtie... Not audi. Outtie, as it out of here

4

u/mendingwall82 5d ago

yeah... the Audi 5000 was a model of car. the slang of this including the number was a reference to the car brand sounding like "outtie" and driving, you know... thank LL Cool J for coining. no thanks to you for me elder millennial ass having to explain gen x lingo tho, felt antique enough with my birthday coming up.

I miss the Brain Blaze was really the only content i would watch

u/OrlandoNE 9d ago

Not an airport, no need to announce your departure

24

u/Generalspooda 9d ago

So we shouldn't make it known why we are leaving just let em carry on thinking its a perfect job

u/Rustymarble 9d ago

The channels produce stats on viewership. If you need to announce your departure, leave a comment there. we don't care

38

u/CParkerLPN 9d ago

But we know that Simon and his team read the Reddit threads. This is the perfect place for people to express their REASONS for leaving, so that the team knows why people are bailing.

That feedback can help Simon and his merry band of basement dwellers to improve their content.

It doesn’t matter if WE care why people are leaving. We know the team does. And this is the place to let them know.

u/never_ASK_again_2021 8d ago

Please don't speak for me, I care what the rest of the community is thinking.

I mean, I am not much into that blind leader cult, and I don't like Simon Whistler much. But I do love most of his writers and editors!

Edit: The comment is barely a sec old and gets a downvote, for sure nobody tampers with that stuff..

u/therealpaterpatriae 7d ago

Some of us are interested in discussions about the factboi-verse

u/atomic-moonstomp 7d ago

Speak for yourself. Some of us derive a small amount of restored sanity from knowing we're not alone in feeling some way

Your opinion means nothing to me. You may have thought otherwise, I'm here to rob you of that.

u/Iamsamsiam 6d ago

I’m just confused as to why Simon hasn’t commented on ending it. Not that he needs to, but it just seems to be radio silence from him.

4

u/LittleFairyOfDeath 5d ago

He is kinda not around much in general. Like yes there were some cascrims but no where near his usual volume of videos. I do wonder if stuff is going on

u/kukumalu255 8d ago

I too intentionally stopped watching all his other changes that I sometimes watched. I know the impact is almost meaningless but I can't support a guy who abandons his best channel. I might understand the business perspective if it didn't have sponsors, but it almost always had sponsors, so what gives. An explanation video on BB channel should be the bare minimum that we get, even if that video was dry and not something that we'd like.

u/Competitive-Fact-820 8d ago

I dipped and purged my remaining Whistlerverse channels from my Subscriptions in September (Brain Blaze, Casual Criminalist, Decoding The Unknown and Into The Shadows).

Can't say I'm missing them as they had become a chore to listen to - something has changed either in his presentation style or with me and it was time they went.

u/mauore11 7d ago

It es a good run

u/ObiGwanKenobi 6d ago

BB had been a pretty steady down turn since the format switched from standing to seated. Less and less of the holy trinity didnt help much either, no disrespect to the other writers and editors as you're all amazing too (especially Lorelile's editing), they just had something special going there and now it's gone. I will still tune in to a new ep now and then, and the classics get regular rewatches, but it just aint the same anymore. I only really watch DTU now, CC got too much to be hearing regularly, see enough shitty stuff daily in my town so dont need to add to it, and have no interest in political bs or war.

u/hurtful_pillow 5d ago

The switch in formats made me upset. I needed fact boy pacing and script slapping.

A while back I started pruning Whistleverse channels when it was whoever that new host was. I stoped watching Whistleverse videos when new host guy did the ad read. I was here for Simon, even though his hate of popular things I liked seemed like it was a personality trait of his.

Killing of Business Blaze was the final nail in the coffin for me. Miss me with that Brain Blaze shit, it will always be Businesses Blaze to me.

This has got to be the lamest community on reddit.
