So Grace Randolph is joining Rooster Teeth as a partner.
Well, good for her, but didn't she already have a rather large Youtube channel? Like almost a million subscribers? Well, I guess Rooster Teeth will allow more people to discover her and she will acquire a few thousand more subscribers, but IDK. I wonder why she would want to associate herself with RT at this point, unless she thinks that the subscriber gain will be worth it. Then again, looking at her tweets, I guess she wouldn't really take issue with RT then.
EDIT: Oh wow, I didn't know she had written for some comics (Warcraft, Starcraft, and X-men) too. I thought she just ran a Youtube channel and twitter account.
Huh.
Since Rooster Teeth has been bundled with VRV for the last 3 years, I wonder how many viewers of RT content were funneled through VRV (who subscribed for anime through Crunchyroll, and then noticed the RWBY banner on the front page and decided to check it out), rather than people on the internet seeing RWBY and deciding the sub to Rooster Teeth to check it out. I'd think that Rooster Teeth would have attracted more subscribers by putting up RWBY on Youtube, which then leads the fans to seek out First so they can watch the latest episode, but apparently RT thinks otherwise.

Having had it for going on 8 years on Youtube, and that is where is starts perhaps they are doing it because they want to slowly cut ties with Youtube. RWBY is one of their biggest shows, and besides their animation only one other group really compares from what I have seen by youtube numbers and that is Let's play/Achievment Hunter.
Hmmm, Christmas is coming up, wonder if I should buy their CEO a fiddle?

Yeah, this video would be much more watchable if the guy didn't insert random anime clips every 30 seconds. There's an accursed farms machinima from...2014, I think, in there...

RT has a long history of doing shady stuff and being two-faced hypocrites when it comes to what they say and what they do. Plus the whole 'more people watch RWBY on the show then on Youtube' is a none-too clever lie, because they released the volume before that only on their site at first, so it artificially boosted their site numbers. Never mind that putting their stuff behind a paywall on their website is part of what caused GEN:LOC to fail so hard. Also, RT has a bad habit of buying up Youtube channels only for them to fail, EA style. And all this is going to just get worse.
Want to know more detail? Watch the damn video.
For fucks sake, it's not that difficult to follow.

I didn't even click on it. It was click bait and I wanted to know if it was worth watching, if the presenter was a tool, any new information, etc etc. You see, much like Cardin Winchester, I've had you do my homework for me, while still learning the material myself. I've watched enough of those spergs Adel Aka and Hero Hei for one lifetime, I dont want to walk straight into another one if I can help it.

Youtube is down right now so I can't watch the video.
While posting the series on Youtube would have undoubtedly given the show far, far more exposure, I think it's unreasonable to assume that it would attain RWBY levels of success. RWBY was a Black Swan and you can't really replicate Black Swans... they're called that for a reason. RWBY is also as popular as it is now after having been built up for... what? 7 years? I think expecting a new show to attain anywhere near the same viewership as RWBY would be ridiculous.
As I understand it, Rooster Teeth was deep in financial trouble before Gen:Lock. It seems to me that Gen:Lock (not putting it up on Youtube, ridiculous expectations) isn't so much the problem as it is a symptom of mismanagement.

I thought the expression Black Swan referred to a disaster that seems unforeseeable beforehand but obvious in hindsight. Have I been using that expression wrong?
Regardless, I get your point. However, I think in the story of RWBY's "Success" it is easy to underestimate just how much it was coasting off the engine of RT from the beginning, and how RT's floundering has been very much a story of a company forgetting (or actively hacking away at) it's own roots.
Rooster Teeth was the "haha they say the funny fuck word in the video game" company, their success and backing and millions of dollars came on the wave of being edgy clowns that named their company "Cock Bite". They basically tried to "push" a train that was drastically divergent from their core (vapid, low intensity anime) using the engine of "Hahaha cock balls shit video game show funny" in the back. Like if the makers of South Park decided funnel their profits from South Park into an unrelated fashion line or something. Rooster Teeth wasnt making RWBY for Rooster Teeth fans, they were just hoping Rooster Teeth fans would watch it enough, long enough for it to find it's "real" audience.
To a lesser extent this was also the Monty Oum phenomenon, Monty had a big following online that he could "coast" off of, people kept waiting for RWBY to turn into Dead Fantasy, and waiting, and waiting, but in the end the intention was never to provide that level of direction, he was never going to do one of those fight scenes again in his life, the idea was just to keep you on the hook to keep those numbers up until the new audience that never wanted DF was settled into place.
This is why "Penis Bite Joke incorporated" has tried to launch what, three or four children's shows so far? And yes, I include RWBY, it's markedly less intense than your average Disney Renaissance movie and someone saying "Bitch" once or twice doesn't change that.
They're trying to use their momentum from their previous audience to fuel projects to court the audience they want. The main problem is that they were competitive (and lucky) as edgy clowns, but they're not competitive in the market they want, and the audience they want is already much smaller than they ever realized.

Because she likes modeling.
Honestly? Her face isn't the best for it, but she has a pretty good body.
Having met her in person multiple times.Same when I met with Nora and Pyrrhas voice actresses as well.
Lindsey is the only not physically appealing one to me
