The fuck even just happened?
motor trend has always been a subscription service. read a fucking magazine sometime
>read a fucking magazine sometime
Fuck that. Journalism is not good enough to pay for it. And mags nowdays don't bring stuff like posters, calendars, etc...
They stopped putting full episodes on YouTube, it's all MTOD subscription now. Yeah they're a company and can do whatever the holy fuck they want with their content, but it's still alienating their fanbase.
And everyone thought the Dodge sponsorship sucked dick.
Even MTOD is not good enough to pay for it.
the jews didn't pay their webdev enough I guess
>Make a video announcing this decision, but disable comments and ratings
they not only did that but disabled comments on every single video on their channel, including stuff from years ago
Guess they got tired of everyone hating on MTOD.
Its undefined because they expect you to send them a blank check

That's pretty fucking shitty, and I've been watching roadkill since whatever the cheap truck one with the Bronco and Suburban was.
welp gg
> in the name of money
you know shows are expensive to make right
They don't HAVE to nail a $5,000 crate motor to an old buick then try to drive it 8,000 miles without a radiator.
>not understanding what motor trend is
>thinking roadkill was created in isolation
true but that's why we watch it. it wouldn't be entertaining if they always did things the smart way
I prefer the episodes where they have fun with cheap junk, I don't give two shits about putting a hellcat in everything.
Motortrend has been sub based its whole existence.
Why let the Jewtube make money off them?
I still subscribe to Hot Rod because it's like 70 cents an issue. That's fucking cheaper than toilet paper.

We will never stop uploading to YouTube guys roadkill will always be free guys. Just wait that extra month guys. give us $5 guys.
>I still subscribe to Hot Rod because it's like 70 cents an issue.

It's ironic that Hot Rod has more paper content, the material in Hot Rod costs money to produce, yet the toilet paper is more expensive. Must be a lot of profit margin in making toilet paper.
Did they not see what happened to Drive and that it is fucking dead now? Or do they think their fanbase is much bigger / more loyal than it is and they are think of themselves on the same level as The Grand Tour etc?
This will end horribly. Either they will come crawling back to youtube, or they will fade to obscurity.
>We will never stop uploading to YouTube
well not anymore
