Omg i didnt know they had a point system thats terrible. Imagine you on there for help on anxiety and then get MORE anxious because of a point system. Im no expert but i was diagnosed w/ chronic anxiety and ANYTHING could trigger it, you obsess about one little thing or thought til you feel its right kinda like OCD. That would've drove me crazy. What about the podcast though? I unsubscribed 3months ago cause im broke due to the pandemic and felt it was wasting my money with the lack of content

yeah the leaderboard had just been made around the time i joined. they created it bc they wanted to reward the ppl that were doing a lot on the platform (giving them badges, having one-on-one talks with them, having them decide on new features for metalife, some other stuff that i don't remember), which is fine. but like, have that shit internally so they know it, not for the general public you know? bc the girl that was on the top when i joined was there at number one the whole time until it shut down. i personally don't care, but i could see how so many others would and how that would make them feel.

but anyway, about the podcast....

so when metalife was still a thing, i didn't mind that they weren't posting as much with both their channel and the podcast. then when the pandemic started up and they brought metalife back for a cheap price, i was like okay... i can at least pay attention to that. but now... metalife is gone, they only recently filmed a new series, and the podcast still only gets posted once a month.

i did the math on this membership. bc most of their podcast get about 1000+ views, if not more. let's say for argument sake that ppl are watching it twice and so in reality they only have 500ish members. that means within the 20 months they have had this membership, Dec. 2018 - Now, plus taking in youtube taking 30% of the money they make from the membership, they have made roughly $35,000 from the membership alone. that's not including them having more than 500 members, which i 100% believe they do.

so... all that being said, i want more content. i have been paying for this for over a year, and in the beginning it was nice bc there was extra stuff, but now it is just lazy of them to film one podcast a month. they don't do anything extraordinary. they set up a camera, click record, and don't edit it. the most they do is like two quick edits of not turning on the camera and turning it off. their podcast aren't even that long, and they don't film in a studio anymore. it is not a lot to ask for more than one podcast.

i'm not even asking for one podcast a week, which i think they could do, but i know they won't. but maybe two a month would be nice. plus they got rid of all the perks of fanjoy codes and following us. not like i expected codes and follows for everyone forever, but... like, no offense, what the fuck is left of the membership?

i personally think they did not think of this membership in the long term. they had just reached 2mil subscribers at the time and i think that they were about to change up their content form xplr to the spooky stuff, so they wanted some extra money, which is fine. i don't think they planned to have this going on for as long as it has been, and it is very obvious that filming these podcast is the last thing on their list of things to do.

i just want more content, especially since i am paying for it. that's all. i'm not asking that they cut out free time or needed mental health time for themselves to do this. all i am asking is to do a little more from the abysmal amount of effort they put in. bc honestly, i haven't seen a single person talk highly about the membership... ever.

sorry if this came off a bit rude but i'm highkey tired and annoyed rn. these motherfuckers made me do math for the first time since college, so i’m a little upset lol

i plan to start messaging them about my feelings regarding the membership and i advise everyone to do so too, especially those like yourself who have left bc it was becoming a waste of money for the lack of content.
