Very intrigued by the amount of people (myself included) who are saying they didn’t like ghost/mystery files as much as buzzfeed unsolved.
Because this means we were sticking around for loyalty. Because we wanted to see Watcher succeed. Not because of “tv level content” or expensive shows or whatever else.

my thoughts on the watcher update:
i am happy with this apology.
i will not let my guard down
i GENUINELY hope they learn to manage their finances better in the future
if they read through the comments then i hope they saw the thousands of people talking about how ryan and shane's banter >>> high quality content
i hope they get a little less out of touch??? and understand their audience??? and do some research before taking such a big decision????
i definitely hope that they find a balance between the high-quality content they want to create, doing so within understandable budget restraints, and the content WE want (which is mostly banter/talking. i used to hate anything horror-related but i loved bfu supernatural because SHANE AND RYAN MADE IT LESS SCARY!! I HAVE MADE POSTS ABOUT THIS BEFORE AS WELL!!)
contrary to what most people were saying, i actually liked steven the most at some point. when i'd watch too many spirits episodes it was steven's chaos (and eventually him and ricky's banter) that i looked forward to. i liked dish granted as well! yes i love shane and ryan, honestly who doesn't atp, but i always had a soft spot for steven. (i haven't seen a single worth it ep btw. the most i've seen of steven has been on watcher.) that's why the backlash against him specifically has been... tough to see. i acknowledge what people are saying and i also agree with it, but still. ykwim.
they look WRECKED. either they are very good actors all of a sudden or this was a more terrible weekend for them than i thought. (not to mention the bullying and harassment a lot of fans have done.)
as a lot of people have been pointing out, isn't WatcherTV basically Patreon??? i haven't signed up for either because, well, i'm an international fan 🙊 but still, it feels weird to have both??? idk (edit: they've closed up patreon for now)
i still think WatcherTV is a bad idea but hey, at least we will see the content on yt as well, right?
i hope one day we'll all joke about this. (i don't mean to say i want us to feel good about it, because i don't think we ever will. but still...)

as a person of color myself, my heart hurts especially for the people of color that will never feel safe in the watcher fandom again.
for any poc that need to hear this: i fucking LOVE YOU. i’m sorry you were made to feel like you were less or worse than. you are NOT.
#anyone who made racist comment towards steven or ryan shut the fuck up#you can dislike someone and still be a decent human being#watcher

im sorry people calling watchers response "too late" are incredibly wrong. they took two days. the original announcement was posted on friday and then they posted their response to backlash the following monday. that's a perfectly normal respone time. they took the weekend to gauge the opinion of the fans, reformed their plan and then posted an update admitting fault. im not saying i think their response was good or bad but it was definitely quick.

Edit: watcher released a new statement apologizing and changing their course of action!
#the sentence#all we wanted was you#hurts me so much because it's so true#i know they apologized but i haven't fully recovered yet#i appreciate the apology but trust needs to be gained again

I guess friendly reminder that you can't actually judge someone's socioeconomic status based on what they own and the classic republican "they can't be poor they own a smart phone/computer" argument doesn't suddenly stop being complete out of touch nonsense when a poor person makes it.
Anyway insert "y'all can't be trusted to eat the rich bcs you'll target taco bell shift leaders and people with playstations instead of actual billionaires" post here.

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

Why doesn’t the company move out of LA? Why don’t they downsize production costs and stop making ridiculously expensive shows? Why doesn’t Steven Lim buy a car that isn’t a Tesla? Why don’t Shane and Ryan stop dropping so much money on new ghost-finding gadgets and doodads, and instead use what they’ve already bought to investigate cheaper locations? Why didn’t Watcher do a modicum of research on their market before making a sudden (and idiotic) decision to move themselves behind a paywall? More on this at 3

The way I like gasped when I saw their new video posted lmao but here’s my opinion:
*ryan: “we did a really bad job of explaining the reasoning behind this transition” lmao aka “we saw all of you complaining that it was just because we wanted to fund Steven’s adventures”
Overall I’m happy with this solution tbh I’m glad they’ve found a way to keep having extra income from the website because they did need that they just handled it in the worst way possible
I love that we found a compromise

i get they need money. but what i don't get is why they're choosing to start going on expensive trips to europe for ghost files and being back a show that is very expensive if they allegedly wouldn't have been able to keep the company going if they only stayed on youtube. do they just not know how to handle their money?? what's going on here??

i don't know man, i just wish that we could [suddenly realising i'm coming dangerously close to expressing a real and earnest thought instead of filtering everything through several layers of intangible running bits] blow up the entire world. or something.
