so the only mention of any of The Drama was when they were talking about going to the warren museum, and how they were told not to touch annabelle’s glass case. they were warned someone who did tap it later died in a car accident. so shane said he did fully tap on it but that got cut out of the final episode so people wouldn’t be encouraged to copy him lol
anyway he said he was like, ‘how long after doing it did they die?’ and joked that it was like six years. ryan was poking fun at him saying like oh so how long do you have left and shane pretended to think about it and said, ‘you know, i have a feeling it was exactly six years ago on friday’ and that was literally the only mention of the whole thing lmao

Maybe hot take but I don’t think most of the hate directed toward Steven was racism. It was a proportional (if extreme) reaction to their public personas. Shane and Ryan are why everyone follows watcher, so of course they’re going to get less hate automatically. But even excepting that, this is how each of the boys is perceived:
Steven: CEO (meaning he’d likely be the one making the final decision here, and in the general public consciousness the assumption is that the CEO makes the most money), drives a Tesla, gets goop (notoriously expensive) salads door dashed (notoriously expensive) every day and admitted it without shame, wants to bring back a series that does not include Ryan and Shane (the reason people watch and the content they’d be most ok paying for) and that is at its core is a show of wealth and that previously included gold-flecked ice cream - something obviously expensive and ridiculous
Ryan: neither flagrantly anti-capitalist, nor a flagrant spender, a net neutral in terms of money
Shane: anti-capitalist, regularly tells you to steal from the rich, told you in the goodbye video to steal from the company (share passwords), has never spoken to any degree about what money he makes or what he buys with it, has spent years building this persona by joking directly with fans
I don’t think this is racism, I think this is a direct reaction to perceived classism judged by how each of the boys has shown their wealth and crafted their online persona over the years. The guy with the Tesla was always going to get the most shit. The guy who told you to share passwords was always going to get the least. I don’t think it’s right, all three made this decision together and they all believed in it enough to take it this far (they shot expensive overseas episodes of ghost files - Shane and Ryan’s show - already for god’s sake) but I think crying racism to make justifiably upset fans feel bad is a stretch

As today is the first day of the Ghost Files Live UK Tour, this is a friendly reminder to act accordingly at the event:
Do NOT boo them.
Do NOT throwing things at the guys.
Do NOT ask/make ridiculous and uncalled for statements during the q&a portion.
And in general:
Do NOT ruin the fun for others at the show and for the future.
We all understand why people are upset, and feelings are valid after everything that happened. But please remember that the boys are people too. They are human and make mistakes AND have feelings.
Anywho, to all that are going this week I hope you have a fun time and enjoy the show!!

everyone who absolutely fucking VILIFIED and demonized Steven Lim, and reacted to Ryan (and Steven) with such visceral racism don’t deserve to watch their new content btw 🥰🥰🥰

Right lads, I'm at the Ghost Files liveshow. Will give some updates (not quite live) on how things go considering the recent Watcher developments.
Not seen anyone who looks too pissed off yet, but the people who are the most upset are probably the ones who got their tickets refunded.
Show starts in 15 minutes.

i am genuinely so impressed with the quality of the apology and how watcher handled this situation. i’m really glad that they listened to their fans on this, and i genuinely think it couldn’t have been handled better. <3
some of y’all on the other hand need to really chill tf out with the threats and attacks

I feel like it's a crazy month to be a fan of independent youtube* companies
1. Watcher was streaming-ified and then un-streaming-ified
2. The ghost files tour starts this week
3. Shayne and Courtney from smosh announced, not only they are dating, but married on April fools of all days
4. Smosh announced their live show
5. Game Changer is adding lore???
6. Bingo might be the best Game Changer episode yet (hot take, I know)
7. The Dimension 20 tour is going on right now
8. The drama about Dimension 20 tour tickets being sold on ticket Master for THOUSANDS of dollars
9. There's at least one new Dropout show coming out this week, as well as rumors of another
10. Starkid realsed a trailer for a live show with Dropout and Smosh (it's called The Great Debate (Smosh vs Dropout) if you're looking for it) Edit: Tin Can Bros, bit Starkid. I saw Joey and assumed, lol, my bad.
I know I missed some, the sheer volume and variety is actually crazy

I think one of most fascinating aspects of the watcher subscription service debacle is how it kinda broke open the floodgates for people to voice their frustrations with the content that Watcher produces.
Some of the most frequent and popular comments and posts I saw on the matter were about how
-Watcher does not make TV quality content
-No one is happy with the high production budget of these new shows
-Pretty much everyone has been supporting them this whole time just because they enjoy the chemistry that Shane and Ryan had on Unsolved
-All anyone was asking for was Shane and Ryan bantering behind a desk tbh
But the outrage generated by "we want to make more stuff that our fans don't like so please give us more money to do that" let people feel justification to say "hey we never actually liked any of the decisions watcher was making we just wanted to support the creators we liked, even though we don't happen to like what they're creating right now"
Wonder if this whole thing will change how they approach creating content in the future

see that we've moved into "they apologised so you are toxic for not forgiving" phase of cope. this is where I finally realise they did fire me as a fan. I don't fit in with the people that are left anymore.
they told us they're better than yt. that the audience who got their channel to where it is today is no longer bougie enough for them. that's absolutely anathema to why I watched them in the first place. ah well

Shane: In real life - I don't - you know, I want - I want to hype him up and make sure he's feeling good, you know, but when we're in a haunted location, I want him to be as freaked out as possible. I want those eyes bulging. Ryan: They are, they - yeah. Shane: He's a bulger. Ryan: They were. They were bulgin'. My balls were bulging. Shane: [laughs] Eyeballs. Ryan: Correct.
