I miss Sourcefed so much. What a great channel that we lost :(

i cannot wait for the sugar pine 7 video

While it's heartbreaking that SourceFed is no more, what's even more tragic is that the main sponsor, Strens'ms, apparently went bankrupt shortly after the channel stopped producing videos.

Real ones remember when Discovery tried to rebrand all the Sourcefed channels and hid all the all content until people were so mad about it they changed back.

I feel there needs to be a deep dive now on the Valleyfolk after this not just SP7. Considering it consists of Steve, Joe, Elliot and (formerly) Lee.

I think what Stanz is missing in this quick summary is what arguably was the best about Sourcefed and why Phil was praised for his involvement in picking the hosts, and that's just how much easy chemistry every single host had with eachother over a such a long period of time. These guys all didnt just act friendly for the sake of the show, they all pretty quickly became very genuine friends and it was a very specific energy you could feel through the screen. And through the years (with the exception of a few, mainly the guys that would become New Rockstars) pretty much every new host that came on was brought into that dynamic pretty seamlessly. This is also why the whole "open crushes on coworkers" thing wasnt as sketchy or uncomfortable as it sounds. Its a thing I think you either had to be there for at the time or really sit and binge watch way more than clips to really understand the appeal. Yes it's a product of its time, but also at the time there was very little produced content like this from teams that were just openly friends having a good time.

Man, I haven't thought about Sourcefed in ages. I binged a lot of their Table Talks and other casual content during a pretty rough period of my life. I wasn't super into the scripted stuff, but the "sit around with friends and shoot the shit" pieces they made were always super enjoyable for me to watch. Sam, Steve, Will, Lieberman, Trish, Maude, Reina, etc. will always hold a special place in my heart. Hope they're all doing well.

Sam Bashor used to go the cafe i worked at a year ago. Very sweet guy and it was cool seeing him so long after Source Fed went away

i was never a huge smosh fan but i think sourcefed WAS my smosh. I got to meet them all and they were all so nice and cool

I didn't know how hard it would hit me seeing the original sourcefed crew again. Just years of nostalgia flooding back, damn I miss it

I feel like one important piece of SF that was left out of this was their routine. The hosts would get to the office crazy early in the morning, find stories, right scripts, film, and edit 5 videos every single day. It was a crazy machine and they all worked so hard. I miss it so much.

Not mentioning the Steve being Santa Clause but on this deep dive is the biggest miss on any of these deep dives they have dine

I loved sourcefed, there was an episode where a coffee machine was going off in the background and steven zaragoza made a joke about it and they made it into a t shirt. I still have that shirt after all these years. I never wear it but it's quite sentimental to me. It was such a great channel and so was Sourcefed Nerd

I do appreciate these deep dives cause I’ve never seen anything of sourcefed and always wondered what Steven Suptic’s origins are after seeing his among us content

I’m older than stanz and I find it fascinating all the things he doesn’t know about RU-vid and online culture. Guess I’ve just been terminally online since the early 2000’s. Sourcefed funnily enough is what I know the least about of all the deep dives so far. Loved sxephil and the more modern Philip defranco. Just could never really get into it. I can envision a stream where he gets his knowledge tested on older memes. Or maybe a deep dive into the whole know your meme fiasco.

Stanz not getting it and calling it unfunny for most of it while laughing hard asf at his own jokes the whole time makes sense

Will Haynes was my spirit animal at the time. Was a great voice for introverted performers.

Honestly i need to rewatch all of sourcefed.. also not including " is it bees?!" is criminal

Sourcefed was a lifestyle and its ending made me go through the 7 stages of grief

So excited for the sp7 deep dive some of the best content on RU-vid you have to watch why I hired autumn

Steven suptic has been in so many group channels its insane that he finally decided to make his own. I forgot the first one but it had basherverse in it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1859">30:59</a> hold up that’s THE Steve Suptic like the twitch, among us and music guy. I did not know he had a backstory on RU-vid

I really hope the next part includes the Valley Folk with the original hosts and how mindblowing it is that its still not known what happened with Lee being ousted but SP7 is so big there's no way there would be time.

I was so excited to see William Haynes at chess boxing with you, I’m glad you can see where he got his kickstart!

Sourcefed was the first commen ground i found with my wife when we met and started dating! We both watched this channel that helped form both of our senses of humor

Steve Zaragoza is so funny man. I can't believe you didn't watch Santa Steve

Another fun fact is i think some big corp bought the channel and used it for NowThis news, and people got really mad, they just changed the logos and names and started posting. That had to go back on that.

What I remember most about the sourcefed shut down was how NowThis tried to take the channel over and everyone hated them so much they just let the channel die.

I believe when it ended there was also a whole thing about Sourcefed Nerds channel being taken over and renamed to NowThis Nerd.

As a non-native english speaker who only got into english youtube later on I really appreciate these Caanths deep dives. On most of them I'm totally with Stanz where I've never, or only hardly at best, heard about the people

a funhaus retrospective would be so intresting

Man I'm so happy they did the news stuff with Steve and Maude, some of the funniest shit ever.

This has to be the first of all of these videos Stanz does that ive not watched. Ive watched SP7 and Philly D but the channel itself i never saw

Sourcefed was my comfort channel when i was 16 😂 its crazy youre covering it 10 yrs later

this made me feel so nostalgic, i miss sorcefed so much

I can't believe there was no mention of the great wiping of Sourcefed and the channel takeover!!

SourceFed was the reason I got into DnD and now I play every week haha

I loved SF and SFNerd - I still can't watch any "NowThis----" videos or read their articles without feeling physically ill.

every youtube deep dive is: Caanths: isnt this so funyn stanz! this was so funny everybody loved this Stanz: - _ -

SF anfmd SF Nerd were truly lightning in a bottle moments

Steven Suptic has had such a rough career it seems but he seems to have finally rose above it and I'm so happy for him to have found the success he has.

As someone who was an OG sub of SourceFed it was AMAZING to take a walk down memory lane! Amazing job!

I feel like a similar deep dive could be in Creatures to CowChop.

I also took a class in high school where I developed film. It was slow and only fun probably the first 3 times.

They better have the coffee machine bit in this Edit: I am disappointed

I'm looking forward to the SP7 video because I was somebody who started watching sourcefed from the start, kinda lost interest with all the cast changes and felt like the channel had become a generic, Buzzfeed style, everything video has to be part of a repeatable series to maximise recurring viewership, type of channel but with people I no longer knew or had any affection built up for. And then I watched Steven Suptic's video about sourcefed being cancelled and it was so fucking good that I was immediately hooked, despite associating him with the idea of a generic corporate youtube channel. Honestly, in my personal opinion, the start of what became SP7 was one of the most creative and entertaining things I've ever watched on RU-vid. I don't know if it was a but of a product of it's time, with Casey Neistat and vlogging being kinda at their peak around the same time, but I hold it in such high regard.

Now every time I see that one State Farm commercial with Caitlin Clark, Jimmy Butler, and Reggie Miller, I point at the TV and go "LOOK it's Lee Newton from Sourcefed!!! Because, yeah, that's Lee Newton in that commercial saying "shoot" over and over.

I still watch philly D everyday for like over a decade lol and probably watched the majority of sourcefed videos

I think this is the first classic RU-vid channel you’ve covered that I’ve never heard of at all, despite watching some early Phillip DeFranco. Cool vid :D

I’ve must’ve seen Sourcefed stuff but just forgot, because I recognize Joe Bereta from his time on Smosh but also something else. It wasn’t other stuff he worked on, and some of the video backgrounds feel familiar

Dynamic Banter is the place to be now

I've never felt more nostalgia for anything more than I have for SourceFed, even though it wasn't even that long ago. That show (specifically Steve Zaragoza, William Haynes, and Steven Suptic) formed my sensor of humor. Seeing it end was heartbreaking and trying to follow the creators in their next adventures was sometimes even more heartbreaking.

I was a philly d and sourcefed stan literally as an elementary schooler. My adventure time x sourcefed fanart was featured in one of their fan shout out segments. I am getting my masters now... crazy.

People still develop film. Not common in highschools i assume. But art schools still have it and still lots of photographers who work with film.

Honestly those last four hosts were my favourite

I had never seen sourcefed, but within 10 seconds I went "Is that joe berretta?" He went on to SMOSH for a bit and now does ValleyFolk I think. Funny guy every place he's gone it seems.

hope Caanths acknowledges how SourceFed Nerd essentially became New Rockstars which has become massive in its own right now

Loved Sourcefed I was obsessed can't wait for you Sugar Pine 7 and Valley Folk video

I wanna see an achievement hunter/rooster teeth drama video lol

please do a dive into cow chop, one of the best channels with a huge rise and a slow then suddedden decline, perfect for a long form deep dive

Oh wow I too were one of the few thousand that were there from the beginning of sourcefed, to sourcefednerd and till the end! what a wave of nostalgia

Gotta have a gander at the valleyfolk next! (or after sugar pine 7?)

How you can do a deep dive on Source Fed without mentioning Santa Steve is wild

wait, is Stanz' background music from like Animal Crossing or something? I just got hit with a wave of nostalgia.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1671">27:51</a> when she said “by who? Not you.” 😂

I feel so nostalgic for these videos this was my childhood

How did we do a Sourcefed deepdive and NOT do Santa Steve

This spawns the Valleyfolk, SP7, Dynamic Banter, etc. and Steve Suptic is now in the OTV and friends world with his twitch. So many funny people

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1697">28:17</a> There really is the full range of emotions in one frame

they asked my question on table talk when i was like 16 and i freaked out

I can't believe they didn't talk about how Discovery tried to upload new content on the channel and the internet rioted

Dude I still have a link to the I wanna Die song's re-up saved to a discord server only I'm in lmao (the original was unlisted for a while but I'm p sure it's gone now). Steven Suptic is a fucking fantastic comedian in his own right and I can't wait for that deep dive.

Woah first stanz video where I’m also watching for the first time…

I've been checking the channel everyday for the teased Sugar Pines 7 video. I just think Steven Suptic is such an interesting and wild character.

Defrancos show, back then, was only 3 to 5 mins. Source: his theme song from the time.

The twitch chat in the beginning be wilding

I found out about sorcefed about 2 weeks before they got fired and was so sad, I rewatched that channel so much I loved it

The woman doing drunk riddles is the niece of Peter Garrett singer of Midnight Oil/former left wing politician in Australia.

You guys are doing sugar pine 7!!!!! That channel was one of my favorites

we gonna talk about the valleyfolk debacle?

not even one mention of the valley folk and that whole can of worms in this was wild lmao like did he not know that was a thing or smthn?

Dang, I hadn’t heard of Sourcefed since people lamented its shutdown, I still remember when Steven made animated Minecraft content where he killed a bunch of youtubers

Looking forward to the SP7 deep dive, but I ALSO think you could include quick segments of post-SF aftermath with NowThisNerd, The Valleyfolk and maybe a general "where are they now" bit?

Can you do the Valleyfolk too? Feel like it completely changed when Lee "left", but it was my favorite thing on the internet for a time

I’m actually so excited SP7

Feel like I am late but Stanz should get a deep dive on Joe Bereta cuz he is not just "this guy" from Barats and Bereta to Valleyfolk and onward

Please do a deep dive on cow chop!!

I have a signed Benjamin Franklin time traveler poster

Lee Newton was and is now my youtube crush!

Oh man Stanz would love this shit. Who's gonna tell him about it?

Joe Bereta, Elliott Morgan, Lee Newton, Steve Zaragoza, Trisha Hershberger, Meg Turney, Reina Scully, William Haynes, and Sam Bashor.

Sourcefed was a solid. I stopped regularly watching once table talk was moved to nerd

lil chicken boy and sugar pine 7 coming up soon, damn im so excited and soo sad at the same time.

Caanths: This next video is so good! Meanwhile, Stanz is wondering how to say it sucks without saying it sucks

Gotta do a Valleyfolk deep dive now. Movie movie game would make Stans go nuts

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1045">17:25</a> wtf is a coconut tree? It’s called a palm tree

Im finally like Stanz and know nothing about the subject, this is gonna be good haha

On my god I used to watch all of their videos 😢 Hope he watches Sugar Pine 7

Lmao Caanths has such rose tinted glasses good for him love him having fun
