Subject: Are you a fan of MST3K AND Video games? Then Robot Co-Op needs your help.
Hey there, so I want to start by saying I am in no way affiliated with the fine people of Agonywolf Media. This is literally just the efforts of a fan trying to help save his favorite Youtube channel.
Robot Co-Op is a beautiful combo of video game 'Let's Plays' and MST3K snark. Following the adventures of Commander Rick Wolf and his robotic buddies, the human loathing Topsy bot 5000 and the more laid back Flux Namtari as they pass the time ripping into video games as they remain trapped in the Cinema of Sorrow waiting out the zombie apocalypse.
The channel is the spin off from their original channel 'Agonywolf Media' that serves as their production label where the characters in Robot Co-Op began as a loving tribute to MST3K that even earned the blessing and praise of Micheal J. Nelson, a seal of quality to be sure. The channel has two video series the aforementioned Robot Co-Op, which features puppets and a tight good script with occasional clips and gag sketches, and Nobot Co-Op, a more off the cuff series that ditches the puppets but is still fast paced and full of snark.
Sounds like a great combo right? You'd think that this should be killer and these guys should be raking in the money while fending off hordes of attractive ladies and robot ladies with sticks. Why am I even hear singing their praise?
Well, that's the problem. Their not. YouTube, aka the Beast of a million views, has really been putting the screws to them and the channel hasn't been able to find it's footing. It's in real danger of being shelved.
I found this channel, originally when everything was on Agonywolf Media, at an incredibly low point in my life. It was the first time I had managed to genuinely laugh in a long while. The hard work and production these guys have put into this series has been an inspiration for me and helped pick me up out of a very dark place. If I could I would give these guys a million dollars each to make their dreams come true but seeing as I still haven't the won powerball, this is the best I can do. Spread the word of the awesome that is Agonywolf Media's Robot Co-Op.
I genuinely hope that this post reaches some people and you too enjoy something that's had a lot of heart and effort poured into it. I'm leaving probably one of their funniest videos to date in the post as a sample of what these guys can do. right below the link to their channel Robot Co-Op. Thank you for reading this, fingers crossed it helps.
The issue isn't views. Youtube is a unreliable channel for monetization at best.
Aparently if anyone complains about any image or sound clip or bit of music that you put into your videos YouTube can just decide that that video cannot be monetized and it doesn't matter how many views you get you will never see a single red cent.
If you really enjoy them then you should suggest they use youtube to promote a podcast or something where their distribution, sponsors, and profits are entirely their own and use the youtube channel as a gate way to bring people to the channels where they are actually in control of their product and buisness.

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

This was honestly the first idea that came to mind. And because I didn't know of any other way to try and help. I'm literally just trying to help as a fan.
They, Agonywolf Media, don't know me beyond commenting on their videos. But it's a good idea and I'll try to reach out to them to suggest it.
I hate Youtube. To be frank it's become a pit and it's just killing things that I love.

So I reached out to Agonywolf Media, haven't heard back from them yet but hoping too soon. I also hope folks have been enjoying the video and maybe I helped make a few new fans.
