NOW BEFORE YOU GET PISSED OFF AT ME FOR HAVING AN UNPOPULAR OPINION Considering the rest of the internet, you don't have the unpopular opinion at all. Everyone else is happy the NC is back and that Demo Reel got murdered.
Entertainment sometimes is -- and MUST be -- more about what the audience wants than what the creator wants. Sometimes, what you create is something you do to meet a demand, which you benefit from. I understand that. I just feel sad that his pet project that he was so excited for and had been wanting to do "for years" and bought a studio for and hired actors for ... didn't pan out. And he made a video where he killed off his new show and got dragged back to his old show. Maybe he is happy to get back to the NC but I just saw so much bitterness in The Review Must Go On. It was filmed like a haunting, or a psychotic breakdown, not a triumphant return.
Don't be sad that he tried something that didn't work. If you're going to be sad for anyone, be sad for those of us producers and artists who live from paycheck to paycheck with CENTS to spare, who only do that by working 2 jobs and living with our parents, who give up food and sleep and even sacrifice time with our families for the sake of helping each other out or cranking out commissions we're painfully underpaid for and which will only be seen by 100 people or less, EVER. ... what? I ... how is being upset about Demo Reel getting cancelled and the NC coming back, how does that have anything to do with being disrespectful to other producers? I'm sorry I upset you?
Meanwhile, TGWTG isn't really very good at promoting its other producers a lot of the time. Producers largely rely on just being on the site to generate view counts -- and it DOES -- but it isn't good enough for most of them to live on, and artists and other crew get no recognition or promotion beyond a link under our producers' videos or a mention in the credits, if that. Yeah. Plus I wish there were more crossovers. I was talking to Hagan at MAGFest about that, how I love that she does so many crossovers with reviewers I've never seen before, that's how I got into Kyle's vids and Happy Viking and a lot of other people.
And almost all of us are still driven to do what's popular instead of what inspires us because that's what gets us views. And that doesn't always get us much other than numbers on a screen. You didn't need to tell me any of that. Why would you give me that kind of personal information about people? I don't want to know that. That's none of my business. How does being upset about a character retcon warrant being told that kind of personal stuff about people?
That's because I look like a troll doll, and not in the cute way. That is a lie. I met you at MAGFest, you do not look like a troll doll. You look just fine. You have a fantastic sense of style and you're a wonderful person. I know people with unfortunate faces, or who even look like they could be troll dolls, and you are not one of them.
