Apparently the Vlog “Rocketboom” has a lot of fans who are upset because the show’s host Amanda Congdon has left in a dispute with her partner. Amanda herself even gives a heartfelt goodbye in a vlog entry. They should have fed her onions so she at least teared up a bit.

Several claims mention a “TiVO partnership”, 250,000 daily viewers and a $40,000 per week advertising allowance for this show. Impressive indeed. Despite the $2 million per year pace, the show’s creators managed to have a tawdry spat that ends up with the business imperiled?

1) This could be a publicity stunt, but it certainly wouldn’t make a ton of sense
2) These people are really this emotional and come across as a-holes. Since they’re 51% and 49% partners, this will require some sort of legal resolution, so stomping off the show most likely couldn’t be the right way to go.

I would have encouraged them to sell it, rather than launch attacks on each other. I’ve never actually visited RocketBoom’s home page, before today, but I was greeted with an odd, unprofessional message there. If this is the best vlogging has to offer, the industry may be in a lot of trouble.
