im not a person you find twice
Does anyone else remember playing music in Windows Media Player and just sitting there and watching this for like two hours
OMFG THIS COMMENT. GUISE. THAT LAST SENTENCE IS SO FUCKING RAW
i step out onto stage clad in full corpse paint and death metal regalia and start playing the most middle-of-the-road soft rock you've heard since 1974
I like to think I'm pretty good about avoiding parasocial relationships, but shane "fuck capitalism" madej going along with the watcher subscription service nonsense has some kick to it ngl
capitalism killed my parasocial best friend, shane madej. may he rest in peace.
Really weird how many of you worship Shane and Ryan so hard that you're like "They have a right to be paid for their art!! Stop being a brat and support them!!"
Like it's not about whether or not I want them to make money. Obviously I do. It's about how they:
- teased this as a big exciting update
- have been dropping serious amounts of cash on shows that no one asked for
- hinted in the video that they are doing this so that they can continue to do the big expensive shit that no one asked for
- keep reminding us that Steven drives us a Tesla for some godforsaken reason
- are acting like everyone on earth can afford the subscription and that international exchange rates don't exist
- skipped over a million other options like patreon shows and ad-supported independent streaming before jumping straight into thinking they deserve a streaming service
Like can you stop being parasocial for one second and realize how fucking terribly this has been handled. They are showing zero respect to their audience both in their decision and how it was presented. Can you not look at that and think "Huh, maybe my guys fucked this one up?"
It’s called ‘being able to see the corpse’
So if I put you in an L-shaped swimming pool, and you knew there was a corpse around the corner, you'd be fine?
loving the implication that I'm a little animal and you're a scientist putting me into various bodies of water to test my corpse:water ratio tolerance
As a long-time fan of Watcher and even BuzzFeed back in the day, I'm beyond bummed out at the decision they've made.
I can't afford a streaming service. Paywalls are ruining the internet and turning it into cable TV.
This came with absolutely no warning and it feels like a weird betrayal of loyal fans.
Best of luck to them, but this isn't a journey I can support.
watcher leaving youtube... for a streaming service????
Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting
First like and this has already found its intended audience
uh oh
with summer fast approaching, a quick reminder to not point out anyone's self-harm scars, burns, stomach rolls, stretch marks, cellulite, eczema, psoriasis, etc. and a reminder that if you have any of these, you're allowed to wear revealing clothing and swimsuits. you deserve to enjoy summer too.
