User blog:Jkphantom9/RT First Schedule Dilemma (may or may not effect RWBY in the future)

http://roosterteeth.com/post/51300187

So, this past weekend, RvB 15 aired, and at the moment, it's still only viewable for FIRST Members until this Sunday, when it becomes available for regular site members, public, and on Youtube. Currently this is for shows such as RvB, Sex Swing, Million Dollars But..., and RTAA, but this might also effect RWBY and RWBY Chibi if RT continues to go through with this schedule

I've been looking at discussions about this on Reddit, and there is a very noticeable divide. Some FIRST Members are saying that this is just an extra perk that they get to watch it a week before everyone else does, but other FIRST members are saying that this is going to segregate the non-FIRST members from participating in episode discussions. And with a show as discussion heavy as RWBY, something tells me this isn't going to end well...

As for me, I'll gladly pay for a FIRST membership if it means getting access to RWBY content as soon as possible, but I feel bad for other fans who will get left behind and have to wait a week to get properly caught up.

I'm fine with the schedule if it's for shows like RTAA, Sex Swing, Camp Camp, Million Dollars But, and RWBY Chibi (since it's not too story heavy anyway), but for RWBY? They should keep the schedule as it was for Volume 4 (FIRST Members Day 1, Regular Site Members the next day, and Public/Youtube/Crunchyroll one week later)

It kinda irks me that RT is pulling this move again despite the backlash from it last year.

What do you all think about this?
