Just remembered all the money The Duffers threw away for 5 years on marketing Byler knowing damn well hardly anybody cared and not paying a cent for Milkvan content, merch, photoshoots, anything.

How could it be queerbaiting? They didn't even have to advertise them pre-season 4 but they said "no, we're gonna move money from our budget towards a 2017 photoshoot and AWAY from other important things on our budgeting list. Noah, tweet that they definitely aren't gay."

Like really just maximized story telling. We don't want you to know until we want you know but we're gonna subliminally open your mind to it. And somebody saw "they def aren't gay" and went "hm I'd never thought of them as gay before...honestly kinda good idea ngl".

For the Duffers to not make Byler happen would be inherently and exclusively malicious, a malice intended from the beginning. There weren't even enough people in 2017 to actually queerbait. Because there weren't enough to make money off of. The marketing tells us it was planned from long before people were on board. So either they planned to tell Mike and Will's love story or they planned to snub queer viewers for the sake of it, willing to make financial sacrifice to do so, both by investing in something people weren't buying and NOT INVESTING in something people WANTED TO BUY (milkvan content and merch) in order to convert people away from Milkvan and to Byler to also maximize the damage they were spending their money to create.

Lord have mercy if it's the second one because Jesus Fucking Christ usually showrunners hurt gay people to gain money, they don't usually PAY to hurt gay people because they just wanted to that bad.

Example of their weird anti-money marketing decisions

Borgward Isabella Concept, 2017. For the second time in the history of the brand Borgward is again facing bankruptcy. The German brand had first gone out of business in 1961 but was resurrected with Chinese backing in 2014. Their model range included 4 combustion engined SUVs and 1 all-electric model. Sales peaked in 2019 but the European launch of the brand failed and plans for a factory in the brand’s historic home town of Bremen were abandoned. The Isabella concept never made it beyond prototype stage and  Borgward was declared bankrupt by the First Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing last Wednesday.

DTVA trying to promote Duck content but not knowing how to and ending up being cringe, attempt Nº 38251

Seriously DTVA guys, your marketing department should have hired people who really knew hot to promote DT17, they had this kind of problems since the beginning of the show ☠️

Well… at least they look “funny” :p

never been a fan of eminem but i remember when eminem songs were frequently played and enjoyed by my peers. i may not be qualified to speak on this but houdini is maybe the lamest single ive ever heard him on. theres just nothing going on. sounds like an ai beat recreating his earlier sound with lyrics about how his alter ego might see the world if his alter ego were real and came through a time travel portal to get angry about participation trophies (cmon man) and point out that megan thee stallion exists

Respect to the creators of Tattletail, they made an incredibly well done addition to the mascot horror genre, and had the good sense to not drag that shit out for 30 sequels and make the lore needlessly convoluted
