I even said it right then, as I was watching this. "Uh... I'm a non-believer.... show me.... " What? The Fox sisters were kinda hot......

[@heymeemow]

ok yall saying u just want ryan and shane are sorta rly rude, like yeh we all miss them but they’re coming back soon and it’s so clear that the people who made these types of videos are putting in so much effort, it’s probably so disheartening to them to make some killer content and half the replies are wE jUsT wAnT tHe gHoUL bOyS, they get it, be grateful and respectful to all of the other people working their arses off to make content for u or don’t watch the videos ryan and shane aren’t in, simple as, just don’t be a prick xxxxx

@A Round Orifice in Nothingness Is it possible Ryan and Shane want to pursue their own passions on their own? They have their own channel if you want to see them. I get that it’s business but say that to a disgruntled cashier that just got yelled by a customer for doing their job. Different scenario, same deal. There are real people behind the content that’s put out. Imagine if you were in their shoes working hard to make these videos and you keep seeing insensitive comments like this. Smh

[@theoracletempleoflovelight2222]

I studied spiritualism at a Catholic Church in the 1990’s. It’s amazing how much the Catholic Church has hidden many things from comedy and humor and the Holy Ghost and Spirit. Many religions believe any interest or indulgence in Tarot Cards , or any form of seeking answers from spirits. My family hired a nanny when I was in the hospital, and she posted pictures of my house to her Facebook page , eg, of my Buddha Head in the Garden, my crystals, and essential oils in my massage room and basically said I’m a devil worshipper ... When I arrived back from the hospital she was meant to stay on and continue to help me and my children as I got back my strength, yet despite her having already been paid $7000 for the 6 weeks of work , she walked out , trying to take my 17,15 and 13 yr old kids with her ....Yet I’m the crazy one.... she then said false statements to my husband ( we had just separated at the time) and then wrote affidavits for his side of he custody case. Beliefs are just that ,, a thought you feel real . I prefer ideas . Beliefs aren’t facts and change be changed with new information. Curious all of these amazing inventors sort sessions from mediums. Although most of them nowadays aren’t real and just full of ego !

Shane has already confirmed on reddit that there is no big conspiracy or mysterious beef going on with THEIR FRIENDS AND STILL COWORKERS AT BUZZFEED. They post at the same time because mid day Friday is a HEAVY TRAFFIC TIME for their target audience. They know the best time to post and get their videos seen because they ALL have been doing this for years. That's it. That’s all that's going on.
