“Last video in this studio, we moved. At the end of the video, this studio no longer exists”, YouTuber Michou announced last Friday. In another video, published this Thursday, she announces her departure from Webedia, a group specializing in online media and content.
His new studio is now at home. After two years at Webedia, he announced his departure: “There were no problems with Webedia. I am leaving on very good terms. They brought me a lot and it went very well for me despite the fact that ‘we did not agree’ on all the matters.” His desire for independence advances.
A game surrounded
Michou, the youtuber with more than 7.7 million subscribers on the platform, at only 20 years old, is a success among teenagers. Which makes him the 7th most followed YouTuber in France. He talks about video games, films himself during challenges or on his trips, makes videos with other content creators, and shoots music videos.
In his farewell video, he invited a dozen subscribers, all very young, symbols that the YouTube culture still works. They all leave with study objects. Decoration, souvenirs, furniture, anything goes.
Babakam, his manager at Webedia, had noticed: “When you arrive with Michou and Inox, Webedia have no choice but to sign us,” he had declared in March 2021 in Street Press, which published a portrait of the manager.
New setback for Webedia
Michou was until now affiliated with Webedia, where most of the most important youtubers like Squeezie, McFly and Carlito, Norman, Cyprien, Hugo Travers or Natoo came from. Except most are gone and the exits have been cascading for a few years now.
Squeezie left Webedia in August 2020. He explained why in an interview with Clique TV: “The people who run the business side of our jobs are not content creators. Basically, they sold magazine ads. They have a vision of our environment that is very very businesslike, too businesslike. I have seen creators start to create their little agencies. And I said to myself: ‘They’ve understood everything, I’m going to set up my own agency’”.
