Used to love Braille, and I don’t even skate. They’ve just been so much fun to watch years ago, but Aaron’s really gone downhill and it breaks my heart. Wishing nothing but the best for all the guys that used to work there, they were all amazing people and deserve the best
i watched braille years ago. Aaron and Gabe got to be too much to listen too. i liked all the skaters. I'm kind of surprised it took this long to close up shop.
LOL, channels come and go. Braille had a nice idea and run but it's time has passed. Few channels as old have lased as long. No take on how the money was spent, but it was and this is what is. The best news is that it is likely to spawn several new great sk8 channels.
I really don't follow why the drama? it is simple, it had a founder a dreamer that took his dream into a company a successfull one, but then after 2008-2014 housing crissis follow up by Covid and the nail in the Coffin of sk8 the bidenomics of the almost last 4 years, has left a lot of industries including sk8 in ruins, it is not just Braile closing shop guys tale a look around at the amount of companies, Ips and related to sk8 it is almos becoming countless the amount of companies going belly-up, why blame a guy for noticing the company was going belly-up and pulling resoureces out of it before going bankrupt? any smart person in the planet will place all of the cardas in the table and take a desicion if a business or venture is worth it, and in this case just looking at the numbers of the whole industry and the Braile channel, the wrighting was on the wall, why are people blaming Aaron for being smart and closing-up shop, what do they want to see him bankrupt and in the streets like a looser for trying to keep the business open like it was for what? 3-4 months?...that is dumb, people abandoned a long time sk8 and brailen now they hear something from their youth closed and they are trying to blame it on Aaron, why not he was the CEO, but at the end this channel this business was going to fail just like lots of industries are failing at the moment, and blaming the guy for not being dumb and ruining his finances and his family for a warehouse is dumb, specially over religion, how come people say islamophobic and antisemitism or cry against attacks to anyones believes, but the guy wants to follow ahtever he wants and beleive whatever he wants and do whatever he wants his money, and peopls all of the suthen drop the act and start attacking the guy for not being dumb and putting his last cent into a cinking ship....people are always so generous with others peoples money...lol
Ohh yeah by large I agree But most of the criticism came from how it was handled regarding staff and how most of the community made items where just dumped and how he never acknowledged most of the parts people were mad over in his apology video
"Why blame a guy for noticing the company was going belly-up and pulling resources out of it before going bankrupt" You seem to be missing a large part of the point of why the community is so outraged about the entire thing, Kyro dumped years worth of community submitted boards on the ground to go in the trash thinking it wouldn't be on video, demolished the park without telling everyone it was happening, and instead threw those people out onto the curb, those people that were his staff, that the community thought were his friends Also he lied about where things from the warehouse went, like the miniramp, claiming they went to the place Nigel is currently at... Why? That's ignoring any of the faith related stuff despite it seemingly being pretty relevant, also if you watch Nigel's video he says there's a lot more that's gone on that nobody knows about and claims to have receipts, this is why the community is outraged at Kyro A lot of the Braille viewership probably isn't old enough to care about or understand the business side of things either, to them someone they looked up to just dumped their friends, trashed their skatepark and threw all the viewers gifts on the ground like they were meaningless lol Edit: I'm essaying at this point I know but I might as well point something out that I've never understood, why didn't Braille ever do anything with X-Games? From a business perspective it seems as perfect a partnership as Woodward would have been
You seem to be leaving out the channel had close to 6 million subscribers, that on top of the merch sales would have been more than adequate to keep things going for years to come, but when you have someone dumping all that money into something else and not putting it back into the "business" then hiding it and trashing everyone when it's discovered then you can see it's kinda hard to keep things going. Sure you can believe in what you want and spend your money however you want, but when those decisions involve employees, friendships, broken promises, absolute shit communication, sexual harassment in the workplace, people showing up drunk and acting on underaged girls, people being cut off completely without warning for bad mouthing scientology, totally disregarding the viewership and fans and tossing their gifts and loyalty into the trash like it's nothing, yeah, maybe people have a right to be angry, sad, disappointed, him lying about his status and keeping it all hush hush is pretty awful as well, if scientology is so rad and so fantastic and so badass then why the secrecy? Why hide your position in the "church"? pfffft, then to post these vids where instead of just saying "I f..ked up, I'm so sorry". he makes excuses about rent and blah blah blah, it's ridiculous. Give me just one month of Braile's income and I'd be set for life financially, this dude has years of it under his belt and now this? He deserves every bit of bad karma he gets, period.
@@randallflat2010 yeah 6 million subs, but that does not translate to views + sales for sk8 products are down all around, is not only braile clossing down is the whole industry plus other industries, but sk78 in general is very down in culture now, just check, you will find that scooters have surpaced skate for a long shot at this point, and even in-line agresive skate is kind of making a come back, but skate is down as an industry. somethin deeper is at play here, something beyond Braile, I have watch other videos about how braile was already on a decline makes sense that Aaron at some point saw the writing on the wall and decided to baile with whatever he manage to save, just the cost of the braile house must be a fortune + the staff etc. makes sense he downsized the entreprice and saved himslf capital

A lot of the Braille viewership probably isn't old enough to care about or understand the business side of things either, to them someone they looked up to just dumped their friends, trashed their skatepark and threw all the viewers gifts on the ground like they were meaningless lol
