Ever since 2019, Nickelodeon has put various projects onto Netflix. We have TV shows like Pinky Malinky, Glitch Techs, the live action Avatar The Last Airbender show, and the preschool show Sharkdog. We have movies based on their biggest shows, like with Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling (which is more a TV special, but still), Invader Zim: Enter The Florpus, The Loud House Movie, Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, The Casagrandes Movie, Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie, and next year's Plankton: The Movie. However, there's one thing I've noticed with these projects. Is Nickelodeon not allowed to advertise these projects? Let me explain.
Whenever you go to YouTube, and see clips and trailers for these projects, they're always on the Netflix YouTube channels. You never see Nickelodeon themselves or the social media accounts for these projects advertising them. It's not like they can't advertise streaming projects given how they advertise the Nickelodeon projects available on Paramount Plus. Like, The Loud House Movie and The Casagrandes never had clips uploaded to The Loud House YouTube channel or the Nickelodeon YouTube channel. Contrast with No Time To Spy: A Loud House Movie, which is on Paramount Plus, and had clips on The Loud House YouTube channel and the Paramount Plus YouTube channel. Not only that, it also had advertising from the actors from the live action projects, which again, the other movies didn't get. The movie is also quite different from the other ones in how it directly builds off a past episode unlike the other movies in the Loud House universe. It's not like streaming shows based off an established property can't be on more than one YouTube channel. Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight has videos on the Netflix After School YouTube channel and the Kung Fu Panda YouTube channel.
What ultimately got me to make this thread is that the trailer for the Sandy Cheeks Movie on the Netflix YouTube channel hasn't even cracked a million views at the time I'm writing this. Keep in mind that this is SpongeBob, Nickelodeon's biggest cash cow. If that trailer was on the SpongeBob YouTube channel or the Nickelodeon YouTube channel, it would've gotten a million views in a day. I guarantee it.
And that's all I have. What do you think?
