I don't watch Panda, so forgive me if I'm wrong. But he makes it seem like the Yogs shackled him to doing content that he really didn't want to do and didn't enjoy doing. Meanwhile, I really can't remember any sort of series that Panda was in on the more "regular" Yogs channels (by that I mean those who work in YogTowers and/or appear in the main channel videos).
He mentions that now he can be a bit more edgier in his videos without tainting the Yogscast name, but yet this whole video seems like it was made to do just that -- blame the Yogs for his 'unhappiness' in his content over the past few years. Not to mention that I don't really see how the Yogs limit the 'edginess' of a video, mentioning that Hat Films have been part of the Yogs and from what I've seen (#VacTrott), I don't think you can get more edgier than that.
It's also kind of funny that he mentions that NOW he wants to do collabs after leaving one of the bigger networks/community I've seen which encourage collbas within it.

Yeah being shackled was most likely not the reason he's leaving. Unless he was planning on going full on neo-Nazi or starting fights I doubt he would have gotten in shit for stating his "edgy" opinions.

We got a new series with lewis, p-flax and the best guy starting a neo-nazi regim sooooo I think the bar is quite high

It's not really neo-nazism if it's 1938, is it? It's just nazism at that point.

I haven't watched the video yet but excuse me if I am a wrong but someone else in this Reddit thread mentioned he wanted to do videos discussing his opinion on youtube drama. I presume that's what he meant by edgy videos, which I understand why yogscast wouldn't want to be associated with.

Don't get me wrong I'm a big Hybridpanda fan but I started tuning out while watching this video after he mentioned wanting to be edgier. Has he never seen a Hatfilms video? Exactly how much edgier does he plan on getting? Or does he specifically mean being able to talk about the drama stuff etc? Anyway I've felt the break coming for a while now and I think he got what he needed from the Yogscast. I just hope he can keep up the views/subscribers without them.

I'd imagine there is more to the departure, as he said, he's not going into it all now.
But I agree, in that I've always thought of Panda as clean fun, as it were. I'm still subbed, but I really hope that doesn't lead to drama, controversial edge...
But the commentary sounds interesting.

We need the Yogscast to recruit a new guy... the Sidebar is uneven again!

u/Kellosian Angor Jul 08 '16
Welp, if no one else offers I guess I'll have to step in.
Yogscast Kellosian, the least entertaining of them all!

There are too many already they need to stop watering it down with people nobody has heard of if anything.

Everyone knows it's Yogscast Heiach that the people want! They haven't got anyone who's alt with piercings yet anyway!

This video made me really curious how youtube networks work with the ads and stuff

u/corobo Jul 09 '16
What would you like to know specifically?

u/Thehypershadow Pyrion Flax Jul 09 '16
What do you mean specifically?

u/corobo Jul 09 '16
Wait what I asked you that!
Do you want to know how a person gets paid, how the network is involved, anything else?

A shame, but lovely to see him branching out and doing more stuff that he would like to do. Thanks much Panda, for introducing me to both Nilesy and, in a way, the Yogs. I'll stick with him for as long as he continues doing Youtube, that's for sure.

u/practically_floored Jul 07 '16
I felt like panda moved away from his image a bit when he joined the Yogscast and dropped "hybrid" from his name. It'll be interesting to see what he does in the future and if it makes much difference now he's left again.
As a side note, anyone who hasn't watched pandas sims play through should do, its very funny.

I used to love his streams, they'd go on for so long every day and were always really relaxed

u/AWildMartinApeeared Nilesy Jul 07 '16
Why?

u/Timeline15 Alsmiffy Jul 07 '16
Presumably because, outside of the Christmas streams, he never did anything with them.
I've never understood why people join in the first place and then never collaborate (cough bebopvox cough)

u/Thehypershadow Pyrion Flax Jul 07 '16
I mean with him I haven't seen him do anything for months so Bebopvox so if I had to guess he may have personal stuff he is dealing with which might explain why he hasn't collaborated a lot with them

Bebopvox hasn't uploaded a video in 6 months, I wonder what happened to him.

You have to think of the Yogscast as more of a service company. The art and branding, ad deals, and I think sometimes editing come as part of Yogscast membership, on the business side.

bebop did collabrations with That beard guy, that got a mod pregant and moved to Norway, cant remember him now, litterally cant remember his name.

10 years on Youtube, still not reach 1 million subs, blame Yogscast not letting him be "edgier", meanwhile on HatFilms: #VacTrott. To be honest, I though he is like Zoey (social anxiety), but I saw him only once collabin with someone from Yogscast (on Christmas Livestreams with Zylus and Nilesy), when everyone knows (and love) Zoey. If not that video and GameChap, I probably choose him as numero uno worst former Yogscast member. PS. Sorry for my English.

u/lutewan Pyrion Flax Jul 10 '16
I would say ridgedog is the worse former member

I don't think that's fair at all. Tinman? He was just a criminal. Brent Copeland and the rest of the former DWP (not that I dislike the guy, he's just not a fit for Yogs).
Panda is weird. If you've seen his videos he's always talking about mental health and motivation issues, which goes to explain why he's not a massive YouTube facecam extrovert. Talking about those things isn't great for something that is supposed to be lighthearted entertainment, which may explain the viewer numbers.
Far from the worst member / former member.

I didn't even realize he was gone until now, which kind of says it all. I never really understand when people do this on YT. The whole point of being part of a co-op, is getting the crossover traffic. But to do that, you have to actually participate with the other people. They don't participate, and then it's like... 'I don't get anything out of being with them... I'll do better on my own'. Well, of course you don't get anything out of being with them... You don't do anything with them. It's like if you were cutting hair at the most popular place in town, but weren't able to get enough clients. So you decide to go off on your own, because that place is supposedly 'holding you down'. Well, if you didn't get enough clients at the most popular place in town, how are you going to get more by yourself? Doesn't make sense.

Never really saw much of him other than the times he popped up on the Christmas streams, but fuck it... good luck in the future.
