What is 2ndTry.tv and how can I watch?
In a May 22, 2024, YouTube upload, Zach and Keith announced their own streaming service, 2nd Try, which is separate from YouTube.
On the new service, the Try Guys will offer new videos on a subscription basis.
The ad-free streaming service and app launched on May 22, 2024, and cost $4.99 per month.
Zach told The Hollywood Reporter, “I think what excites us is that we now get to treat YouTube and any other social media platform as just that, a social media platform, where we are using it to reach new people and excite them as opposed to entirely relying on our ability to survive as a business on them and their ad dollars.”
Keither added, “You need feedback, and YouTube and all these social media sites give us that real time feedback. So we’re still making stuff for that audience.”
The Try Guys will move forward as a duo and will still post free content to YouTube.
