i understand the buisness model of putting content behind paywalls but I'd be really disappointed if every public video is sliced in half. Goat content on youtube and it sucks that there's going to be less
You guys can't have it both ways. There are plenty of smaller creators that talk basketball for free. Ben has carved out a reputation and that comes with a price unless you're a damn fool. If you were this good at anything you wouldn't do it for free.
@@geordiejones5618very true but you can somewhat get around having to have a paywall by doing (more) ads … but hopefully he makes a ton of money doing it this way although he’ll probably get none from me
I’m a patreon member. One of the things I thought I was supporting were the brilliant videos this channel has always produced available free for everyone. Even if these videos were available for patreon members, I’d have to reconsider my patronage because I thought part of the project was sharing and educating a broad public audience about the wonderful world of the nba, not just those who pay for these videos.
Hopefully he listens to his audience. So far it seems that alot of people aren’t in favor of him cutting videos in half for profit. I guess we’ll see what happens next.
Ben, you’re one of my absolute favorite creators and your videos have been the gold standard for years now, but I don’t think I can afford a membership at $10 a month. That’s nearly the same as entire streaming services, and I just can’t justify spending that much on probably less than an hour of extra breakdowns every month. Really bummed I’ll have to miss your work, and would gladly pay a fee if it was a little more affordable.
I don’t mind supporting Ben. But yea $10 without youtube membership and $17 all in is outrageously expensive and unjustifiable. Btw Netflix is costs more or less $10 a month. 😅
For perspective, NBA League Pass costs $109.99 for the annual plan, which works out to just under $10 a month. These guys are out of their minds if they think basketball analysis videos are worth more than the actual games lol
iF it were PAtreon subscription for all full videos Id GLADLY sign up. but youtube?... Nah. TH-cam is complicit in the jennicide in Falasteen and in other crimes agaunst humanity before... I morally speaking as a human being CANNOT support youtube anymore than my currently watching and commenting on their videos. thats all they get lol.
I know right. He Even has a deal with the NBA itself where he features on their socials every so often. The damage this has done to his image and perception specifically from people that have been watching from the first few uploads when he had a shitty mic and his vids were essentially PowerPoint slideshows worth more than any profit from a paywall
Before: Learning more about the intricacies of basketball play-by-play. Now: Learning I'm too broke to learn more about the intricacies of basketball. 😢
I wonder what stupid people from watching others? I’ve seen plenty of cavs videos now, and after learning about the paywall I’ll likely just ignore any thinking basketball videos I see. This could seriously hurt his viewership
Not only does cutting the videos in half not make me want to become a member, it makes me want to stop watching your stuff period. And 10-15 bucks per month is absolutely ludicrous
Feedback for feedback's sake: it is not good for my wallet to watch/read things that are paywalled. I am too impulsive and just have to cut out the things that use this strategy to get paid. So I won't be clicking on TB TH-cam videos anymore. I'll catch y'all on the podcast, thanks for all the free basketball knowledge over the years.

Love your content and been watching you since the Lonzo video. But is every single video from now on going have to be accessed through your channel membership?
He’s got to make money. He’s doing full videos for nba TMYT channel as well. He should still make more full videos for free on this channel or else he will see a decline in viewers
@@osirisra1476 okay, so I guess he should just want just enough. He is not making anything close to $100k on this platform. A video generally gets $300 per 100k views if he gets the industry average.
Adding on to everyone else's comments, I know of lots of other TH-cam content creators who also have Patreons including some that I support, but they all post full length videos on TH-cam with additional Patreon exclusive videos. Posting half of a video with the other half behind a paywall is a great way to turn off your audience.
I really enjoy the content. Is every video from now on gonna be a short incomplete version for non members? Every TH-cam channel have patreon and also membership these days its impossible to keep up with the pay wall on all of them sadly.
I’ll be honest you should just switch full time to your patreon. I’m not mad that you’re doing this because it’s your right but how are you gonna edge the audience with half a video by ending it with the “become a member for the full video”?
Even if its just 2 or 1 videos a year that are full length, Id take that over halved videos. Really makes you wonder how Garland has changed...and makes you keep on and keep on wondering ! Lol!
I think on the podcast Ben said that they were working on getting all content available for Patreon members, so subscribing there would get you access to everything
Like ok fine, paywall it, but 15/month is just too much. He shoulda started small and then increase over time if he wanted to be sneaky. Like start at 5/month
Been watching this channel since a long time ever since a lot of years. Taught me so much about basketball and Ball IQ for free. This channel made NBA playoffs so much for fun to watch. I Hope not every video is gonna be cut half. Sucks to see.
I have been a longtime viewer of this channel for many years. gave me free lessons in basketball and ball IQ. Watching the NBA playoffs was a lot of fun thanks to this channel. I hope that not all of the videos will be trimmed. It's awful to witness.
Really was a fan of this channel and will always be thankful for the great knowledge and intricacies you’ve provided over the years but I’m sorry. $15 a month to watch basketball breakdown videos is honestly absurd. Great to see you able to make a living off of this with the NBA collab as you’re obviously incredibly knowledgeable but… abandoning the people who got you to this point in the first place by putting everything behind a paywall now is… pretty wack man. I’m out.
You're gonna start losing subscribers if you cut vids short for non-members. Members should get bonus content... It's never a good idea to take away what people already had (and loved) when coming to your channel.
Been a big fan for years sad to see a paywall for content that I have come to love and learn from. Still awesome stuff just really disappointed to see stuff like this happen to someone I basically learned how to read the game from. Your free content is what taught me how to look at the game differently and I hope it can stay that way for future floor generals.Thank you
Loll glad others are pointing it out, 15 is just greed and shows he's out of touch and low intelligence, not smart. Plus his takes on basketball aren't even that in depth or sophisticated anyways. Not gonna miss him
I don't like this new format where you can see only half a video. I'm very diapointed, it's not enough youtube revenue? Then I won't see your videos anymore. TH-cam and youtubers are becoming more and more greedy, I'm tired of this.
I didn’t check the video length before clicking on it. I’m just disappointed. It seems there is no point of staying as a subscriber. So I unsubscribe. Good bye.
I’m a long time viewer and listener of your podcast. You do great work and are my favorite creator in general. But I am also a college student and can’t afford 180$ a year.

I know you gotta look out for yourself and if this is the best solution for you I wish you luck.

Appreciate the hell out of this comment. It's one thing to not get a membership, but the people that feel entitled to free knowledge and entertainment built entirely from other people's efforts are wild lol
Saddens me to say but all these cut videos now doesn't give me a reason to keep being a subscriber to your channel. Shame since your videos are very well made and analyzed :/
Comments passed the vibe check glad yall see the hypocrisy in a content creator who gets plenty ad revenue paywalling content is NOT a trend that should continue. I hope TB takes this feedback and learns from it, and makes informed choices with channel direction.
I second all the comments saying that i would rather have 5 times as less videos rather than all the videos but cut in half. It makes me sad getting resentful to the best content creator in the space because i really like both the videos and podcasts
I love your videos and been watching you for years, but I really don't like this strategy of posting half of the video here on TH-cam and then putting up the entire video behind a paywall. Hopefully this isn't something that'll continue going forward.
I've always really enjoyed the breakdowns, but I can't bring myself to pay $10 a month for them (streaming service pricing!!) Please go back to your previous model and bring the free videos back :(
I always looked forward to your videos and truly thought you had the best NBA content on TH-cam. Monthly subscription is just not in the cards. This sucks
This is my favorite NBA youtube channel been watching since the start of the channel in 2019 and love the content. But making a shorter than usual 5 minute video and putting the rest behind a paywall is just not the right way to do it. If it means non members get less content and members get exclusive content that’s fine. But don’t give us half of what you would have gave us before.
unsubscribed. im poor and cant afford to access pay wall. i earn 8 dollars per day in US money rate. i love watching this creator and love his stuff. as a thank you token i had subscribed and even watch ads when available. but paywall just kills it for me, its like eating good stuff and cant drink water, so might as well end it, it was fun. thanks
Incredible short form content that gets to the point. Evan's physical maturity and being able to physically bang better is huge. Love what Kenny is doing with this Cavs offense.
is every video going to be like this??? if you want to make people pay more just do more videos on the patreon side, not to cut all the videos in half for youtube. this is so frustrating
Jesus Christ man... The game in 2024-25 is making the 80s and 90s, even 2000s, look like the 50s and 60s. The strategy, ability and utilization of players today is on another level.
Anything before mid 2010’s is a whole different era. There are three major factors: 1. Big rule changes in 2001 and bigger in 2004 to space the floor and make it easier on perimeter players (effectively got rid of hand checking, defensive 3 sec rule, etc) 2. Other rule and enforcement changes to make it much easier on offensive players such adding an extra step to travel in 2009 (though unofficially has been allowing it in 2000’s), allowing offensive players to push defenders to create space (started seeing it late 2010’s), and allowing far more palming 3. Analytics ushered in a new era where they realized the 3 was very useful at spacing which lead to more shooters by late 2010s and a 3pt craze.
Ty Jerome was not in the rotation last year because he was hurt. How did you not mention him? He's playing like the best backup pg in the league right now
This video is sooooo eye opening because it’s showing the lethality of a slashing big with handles from giannis to Kat and now JJ giving Anthony Davis more chances to do the same! Plus Evan will be the next Giannis if he keeps adding weight year after year!
Teams will figure this out come playoffs. Unlike the Warriors Dynasty play style that weren’t as easy to replicate due to them having the two most elite snipers on their team, which became even more lethal with KD. Cavs play style won’t be as difficult to replicate.
And unsubscribed, you got soo many followers and viewer's, you really don't have to be this greedy and u dont think it's worthwhile to loose a bunch of your community for a fast buck. Its all about the amount of people you have watching
Word of advice on a basketball paywall. Most people just want to listen to their own team. Instead of a monthly subscription change it to a per video paywall for a dollar or two. I will not pay 10 dollars for a 16 minute video if I’m a causal basketball fan as odds are they won’t view your other videos only ones about their specific team.
Worst thing to happen this season: Bara Bet free picks lol
i understand the buisness model of putting content behind paywalls but I'd be really disappointed if every public video is sliced in half. Goat content on youtube and it sucks that there's going to be less

Won’t support this practice. I’m unsubbing and will no longer be engaging with your videos. Thanks for the content.
as a former jazz fan i'm happy to see that mitch is still doing his thang.
$180 a year is insane. how could you have possibly thought anyone would fall for this 😂😂😂
Teams will figure this out come playoffs.
Unlike the Warriors Dynasty play style that weren’t as easy to replicate due to them having the two most elite snipers on their team, which became even more lethal with KD.
Cavs play style won’t be as difficult to replicate.
unsubscribed. rather not watch at all that having to watch half
There having good stretch I can't deny them that, let's see what or how they look deeper in the season
Almost had actual attentive Cavs content from some media only to get cucked by a paywall. Why are the Cavs not allowed to get the spotlight bruh?
This is a joke...put whole content or nothing at all

And unsubscribed, you got soo many followers and viewer's, you really don't have to be this greedy and u dont think it's worthwhile to loose a bunch of your community for a fast buck. Its all about the amount of people you have watching
Probably the best basketball content in TH-cam but... paying as much for the suscription as for the League Pass is just blasphemous...
Word of advice on a basketball paywall. Most people just want to listen to their own team. Instead of a monthly subscription change it to a per video paywall for a dollar or two. I will not pay 10 dollars for a 16 minute video if I’m a causal basketball fan as odds are they won’t view your other videos only ones about their specific team.
fuck that. remove all paywalls.
