#and his theories weren't even that bad at the beginning of the modern era

[chipistrate]

Augh- how do I word this,, I don't want to get too deep into this cause it's not something I care enough to talk too deeply about, especially not publicly.

Prefacing this with; I have absolutely nothing against Matpat and this isn't about WHAT he says in his theories, it's about how he theorizes.

He gets stuff wrong. Like- a lot. Not that his theories are wrong- but he gets details about stuff blatantly wrong and uses the misinformation to support his theories, and a lot of what he gets wrong is from the books, which makes people believe him more easily cause not as many people are going to take the time to actually read them and instead just listen to what Matpat has to say.

He uses stuff from media that we've been explicitly told to not use to form the very base of his current theories, and he's so insistent on using the stuff from said media in all of his theories, whether they're about the games or the movies.

He bases his theories off his previous theories and sometimes makes wild leaps to try and justify his them, he theorizes as he plays the games, he grabs the tiniest details to try and say he was right, and he never really takes a step back from the web of theory upon theory to try and look at the series from the viewpoint of what it is, instead of what he's crafted it to be.

I won't say he's objectively wrong in the theories he ends up with, because truly we don't know for a fact, but what he's crafted from the misinformation to the using stuff from media we're not supposed to use is wildly different from what we're being shown in the games and it can be hard to listen to,,,,

And it sucks because I subscribed to him ages ago specifically for his fnaf theories- hell, he was the reason I got into fnaf in the first place. But how he's been theorizing recently has been hard to watch as a long time fan.

MatPat makes one video for each of his four fucking channels every week is it fair to call him a content farm like DUDE GIVE IT A FUCKING REST YOUR THEORIES ARE GARBAGE AND WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU ACTUALLY TOOK TIME ON THEM
