Rhett and link are two amazing people. They believed in those two good friends and their content and when they were going down helped them. Its crazy to think that most conent creators would have found that opportunity to make money but instead they didnt give a duck about that. They purly believed in the worm that went into smosh and nothing else. Beautiful humans that people should look up to more cause they are a good example of the life we should want

It was a huge moment for a lot of people who care deeply about either or both channels. It’s just so incredibly kind and amazing that they did that for Ian. Smosh very easily could’ve died that day when Defy shut down. But their friends didn’t let that happen, and gave Ian the creative freedom he (and everyone else there) had wanted for a while. And then Anthony came back and there was zero hesitation. They just said yes, of course, obviously you can buy it back. We love you guys. There’s a noticeable new energy at Smosh since Anthony came back and they both own Smosh again. Everyone in the cast has fresh, bright energy, and Ian looks genuinely happier and creatively fulfilled. I’m so happy that my favorite childhood channel helped out one of my other favorite childhood channels 🥹❤️

Whatever company owned Smosh before was abysmal because their content just didn't reach me. When GMM bought them all of a sudden I was interested in watching Smosh again. I started getting pop-ups and recommendations and I've been watching them ever since. I like to think it was the same for a lot of people and that's why they were able to regain ownership again. GMM gave them an actual platform and the spotlight instead of hiding them away in a dark corner of the internet.

I don't know how the financial ins and outs of it worked. I hope Smosh helped Rhett and Link achieve something for their business, but either way incredible action by them. It's a kind of compassionate entrepreneurial spirit I think is mostly lost in the media industry. Or maybe frankly any industry. The way to all appearances Rhett and Link acted towards Smosh before, during and after ownership is nothing by a model for not only business, but for people. This is how people should treat each other, even when you are helming a relatively big KZitem media production group.
