I love how every video I get told “you have a good attention span” whilst having ADHD. Like thanks, but you’re just very interesting and easy to watch lol.

[@Fandomsaremylifee]

Same!

[@Mystfordays]

Bro same. I don’t like watching or doing something for long periods of time sometimes because ADHD and so that makes me feel happy but like I can’t describe it. Like that is one of the biggest compliments to someone with ADHD

[@mahifishie]

same omg, literally after 3 mins of watching a video i click off because my attention span is so short, but im able to always watch louis’ videos all the way through

[@SamMeetz]

i'm in the adhd club too ahaha

[@zuruaeclipse]

Literally, I’ll put him on for background noise while gaming and then I’m focusing on himmm

[@MistyRules]

hello, Louis. I am the person who commented about being suicidal in your stalker video (i think), and I would just like to say thank you. I have been feeling better and at least 45% of it is because of your content taking my mind off of it. Thank you, again. Keep up the good work! Make sure to take breaks and focus on yourself if you need it, we will all wait for you if it’s too much.

[@Plexxis_SugarPom]

Yo man, don't ever be afraid to tell someone if you end up feeling like that. You're totally worth it, I'm happy that watching Louis makes you feel good my guy! Lots of love from a stranger to you! ❤️

Chiefly because he doesn't make advertising deals with Boeing, Exxon-Mobil, CitiGroup, Cigna, Merck, or any of the cable news industry's favorite advertising partners.

[@57ActiveTurrets]

As much as I love him, he has messed up the facts in the past. Like the video he made about the whole caitibugs and George situation.

[@Subliminalgeniu]

it's great that they apologized and fixed their mistake but that doesn't change the fact that the original message was so manipulative and scummy and full of greed. Even if they apologized, they've lost my respect. And I'm sure that's true for many others

[@fugitive_]

Yep completely lost my trust and I had just subscribed! It took me so long because I was only interested in Shane and Ryan and I didn’t see a lot of their content on there til their recent mystery files season. It was so disappointing after that season ended to get that video on my homepage. I unsubbed immediately and won’t be resubbing again for a while if ever. That video completely ruined any trust I had of their channel. Who knows if they’re gonna walk back their apology in a few months and decide to only post on WatcherTV?

[@atinysarahjoy]

what’s laughable to me is how Steven Lim, a man who drives a TESLA, thought $6/month was “affordable for everyone”….

[@Mystfordays]

[@charleneblue1519]

I am glad a lot of people called them out. I used to love watcher and Shane and Ryan so much. I watched almost everything they did. Shane, I used to like especially, because of his views and his humor. When they posted that video i, like many others, was so shocked and hurt. Shane and Ryan always felt down to earth. I never really liked Steven without a specific reason but I felt so supported in that when I saw the videos. He seems so disingenuous and it really felt like it was his idea. I am glad they listened and properly apologized but at the same time there will always be this weird feeling connected to them from now on. Thanks for covering the situation. Glad you are getting more views, keep it up! :)

[@arsoncat2146]

Yeah I've been a fan for years too but they've definitely spoiled the feeling of it now and it's so sad

[@IvysWhackedWonderland]

I cautiously forgave them after the apology but I still feel so sad thinking about the situation

[@wolvie1618]

Honestly tho. I've also been a fan for a while, and never thought they'd be the kind of people who would pull such a thing. Even with how high quality their production was, they still felt down to earth and relatable. Now that's gone, and while I probably will still watch their content, it will always have a stain from this.

[@addy12398]

@@Louis_McClung it was a good video, 🎀

[@echoblackkatva]

I think DropOut is a good reference here. CollegeHumor, now known as DropOut, "left" KZbin because Sam Reich bought the company from IAC. And for the price of one large dumpling a month (i.e 4.99) you have content to all of their videos. Though the price has now increased to 5.99 a month. (Unless you subscribed at the start. Then it is still 4.99) They did the same thing that Buzzfeed did so why does DropOut work and Watcher doesn't? I personally think it's because DropOut doesn't exclude the audience. They post to multiple KZbin channels with pieces of episodes for viewers to enjoy or sometimes full length episodes. If you do choose to get DropOut then access is unlimited. And the price is understandable as well. DropOut is a huge company with so many people to pay. This was Sam's shot in the dark to save something he and his coworkers loved. And it worked. Watcher doesn't need to leave KZbin, they don't need to do any of this.

[@honeyphobic.]

ive been binging your content as i prep for my ap art exam bc you are wonderful to listen to!! thanks louis for being entertaining

[@THATBLUEBLAZER]

Glitch Productions (aka the best animation studio ever) did something similar, with the Glitch Inn. They just made a paid thing with a bunch of behind the scenes stuff, exclusive content, and a members-only discord. They made it more than Watcher did, but still I believe they did it WAY better.
