#I mean Shane and Ryan

[evansbby]

omg who knows the channel “watcher” on YouTube 😂😂

I don’t really watch them but I used to back when they did buzzfeed unsolved years ago.

I’m just going through the comments of their latest video where they announced they’re leaving YouTube and putting all their new content behind a paywall… and THE AMOUNT HATE THEYRE GETTING IS GIVING ME LIFEEE 😂😂😂😂

[terrificblanket]

‘I’m your beloved son, The Professor!’

‘You both got it wrong, but since I love you, I’m gonna give a point to both!’

‘Well, I’d say in the future, your mother and I love you.’

‘What isn’t fair is that I spent so much of my dumb dinosaur life not having a wonderful little blue son.’

‘Alright family, showtime.’

Sometimes Shane and Ryan's investigation skills are the equivalent of if your laptop got stolen and in order to figure out who took it, you put out a second laptop in the same place and waited to see if the person who stole the first laptop steals the second one too.

I think the biggest takeaway from this whole Watcher situation (along with "the rich celebrities/influencers that you like aren't your friends and you don't really know anything about them personally") is that constantly talking about how you own a Tesla can and will make you a lot more unlikable.

We just need to be in the comments, to keep reminding them that we don't want them to stop giving it their best. They see the hate and they see how many people want Steven gone, but we've got to let them know that that's not the only voice in their audience. We don't want them to stop trying to make the things they love making just because the internet is rotten. The worst of it will pass one day.

to anyone saying the apology came too late:

these guys are human beings. when 90% of their fanbase turns on them unexpectedly after a change they all seemed genuinely excited by, that has to be stressful. I know I needed time to process my feelings after friday, and they did too. especially to come up with a solution and deliver it right from an optics angle

god forbid they're struggling right now. there's a lot of people to please, us, the advertisers, themselves, their team. it's a lot for three people, emotionally at the bare minimum.

this is a business. business decisions had to be made, find out what's best. the decision to take everything optional is a big one, with a lot of compromise in there. also, it was the weekend? the work week was over, they came up with a decision likely off the clock, on personal time, which is a lot to ask of someone.

at the end of the day, if you've lost trust in them that's perfectly ok. it's been an emotional rollercoaster for a lot of people, and if that's what your recovery looks like, that's fine! but don't blame it on their timeline. they've given you the best version of what you've been asking for, and it's up to you to respond.

ghost files, mystery files, food files it's only a matter of time before ryan and shane come full circle and start the x files and end up wrapped in a government conspiracy to uncover the existence of extraterrestrials

[ragnarssons]

so huh. after watching all these youtubers (you know, people who do know how youtube works and how much money you can get off youtube and patreon and sponsorships etc) analyze watcher's numbers and statistics and all... can we finally say it's all for capitalism's sake? thanks.

[noctqrnxl]

watcher's announcement feels like a betrayal.

some studies of the boys

[definition-of-bigbrown-eyes]

Know what the crazy thing is? I’d bet money that shows like Ghost Files are hand over fist more expensive to shoot than any of Steven’s food shows. Like Dish Granted was shot in Steven’s KITCHEN? Which is free?

But y’all ain’t ready to admit that because you just want a reason to bully Steven Lim for leading your perfect ghoul boys (grown adult FOUNDERS of the company) astray 🫠

EDIT: Yes the boys DEFINITELY fumbled the announcement fucking HARD but that doesn’t change that y’all are being fucking nasty to real people in ways that have nothing to do with the announcement

[shaniacsboogara]

Some people have angels and devils on their shoulders, I have a mini Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej. There is no battle between good and evil, only chaos. That and the miniature Steven Lim hiding in my hair that teaches me to cook like that rat in Ratatouille.
