Also, I hope this hasn't been posted before it's a bit old. But one of the better pony remixes I've heard:

Now I myself am not interested in buying any episodes I can watch for free on the internet, but the reasons for which they gave that spongebob and (IMO) clone wars being in complete season sets and not MLP is quite ridiculous. These guys don't really know who's watching the show...

poo... I was planning on buying the DVD's just to support MLP but i don't want to buy shitty 4 episode DVDs. to be honest i was hoping for a blu-ray box set that came with the digital copies and all the behind the scenes goodies, would have been sweet.

i guess their reasoning makes sense though, but i would still like to see who is creating more revenue for MLP, bronies or the target demographic.

Spongebob is and was made in a similar manner to MLP as it is for both children and adults (and everything inbetween and beyond), the people who set up these box sets don't really quite know what they've got here as well as Hasbro and all the corporate big-whigs along the industry.

I can't help but think that the bronies are indefinably the ones who generate the most profit as a community base. This could include anything from contests to merch spread through the internet. As for Hasbro's revenues themselves well it is because of the bronies that the show is known so widely and commonly, for the moment however due to the current things being sold I can't give the same assessment for Hasbro. Though I am sure bronies are still a big contributer to their direct income it will take some changes in their wares to see nearly all of their profits being from bronies. We will probably see this in a year or so.

Honestly, I agree with you, GB. Because of the nature of The Hub, it won't get nearly the ratings it's capable of just because so many of us are forced to watch the streams instead. Another reason why bronies aren't giving Hasbro as much money as both parties would like is the lack of plushies and show accuracy in the toys, not to mention all of the shirt sites aren't owned by Hasbro.

There is a good amount of brony-related cash flow, but since the majority of it is within the fandom itself due to lack of appropriate merch by the company, revenue and ratings aren't at the place they should be.

It is still a quality show for its intended audience. Kids are discriminating. The bonus is that 'we' get to watch it as well.

Looking at the financial report, the merchandising revenue is what they expect to profit from but it would be nice if the network broke even. The latter is a case of getting the other shows up to FiM's standard, not that FiM isn't selling enough right now.

The best way we can support the show is still official merchandise, and to a lesser extent keep being vocal so others become fans which eventually lead to more children watching the Hub or buying toys.
