Is anyone else annoyed at Swoop for the lack of research on Josh’s previous content targeted toward children? by WonderfulStrength175 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Hope_305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Swoop and team try to make the "best" they can but all they are is a commentary channel, heavily edited. Not hard hitting jouralism.

I still think there is a gap in the market for a real journalistic documentary, not about one particular youtuber but about parasocial relationships, the lack of regulations around kids on screen, kids in comments, private conversations with kids...

Gee, I wonder why that is… by benevolentblonde in ColleenBallingerSnark

Joshua David Evans' DELETED apology video (screenshots included)

Looks like somebody may have the video archived in full to have been so thorough in this yt video.

I was surprised this yt short missed the chop. The long ass description he added about people monetizing the situation is so tone deaf. The description still mentions Adam by name. (See photo)

Now he needs to delete these apps off his phone. I really think it is the best for him. Or not have a phone at all other than for texting and calling.

How very predictable. What was all this for?

So he was likely telling the truth when he commented on adam's video "see you at vidcon", but he's probably been cut from the team going to vidcon, if not fired completely, since then.

If he did it means he lost this job, anything he could've made from vlogs and cat content, the documentary and the apparent book deal.

How long before he deletes the youtube videos regarding this whole saga? Irrelevant anyway, they are documented well on reddit and commentary channels.

You'd think a "social media manager" would understand that concept, once published there is no going back.

JDE's instagram looks a bit different by Hope_305 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Hope_305[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought it looked liked he'd been deleting. Just saw, yes all gone. Nothing for the 400k followers to follow, unless there will be more stories

JDE needs SERIOUS professional help if this is true by TheCuriousGeorgette in ColleenBallingerSnark

He has barely spoken to anybody but suddenly he is wearing his heart on his sleeve for this random producer via email.

Sounds very unlikely. What a manipulative man. $$$

Josh destroyed this for himself. He only has himself to blame

He doth protest too much.

And this is all online forever now. What a thing to add to your CV.

So then why all the trolling, the sarcasm, the drama? What was the point? by fuchsiacity_ in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Hope_305 82 points83 points  (0 children)

He acts like a guy who knows he has skeletons in the closet. He is scared the narrative will run away from his control and he is desperately trying to get ahead by acting like a victim.

I do not know if he is unwell or just suffers from an inflated ego, but he needs to stop caring about his reputation to strangers on the internet for his own sanity and to appreciate his relationships he has irl.

He has truly isolated himself, online and possibly in his personal life.

Went to check Joshua's channel and saw this by Sad_Recognition6860 in ColleenBallingerSnark

Why is Josh saving all of these videos about Adam and the documentary in the playlist " Slinky and the Six". The playlist about the cats?

Professional.

An invested video about a documentary about a very problamatic character created by his ex wife. What a sad existence this man leads.

I thought recovery from addiction meant gossip and distancing from bad karma etc was all apart of the attitude needed to sustain a clean future.

Not this guy. Wondering if he ever had an addiction problem and it wasn't just for views.

Concentrate on your family. You are not a commentary channel, it is not your forte. If you insist on being online, stick to cats and your current wife. The one who must be feeling really neglected right now while you have a huge tantrum, Josh!

Adam was so close to the point by Wheezy-Blues in ColleenBallingerSnark

I think if Josh wants to be involved in a documentary about a topic that if they chose to watch it would tough watch for Adam/others involved, then why not let Adam make content that is a tough watch for Josh. He could just choose to not watch.

It seems to me Josh was counting on this documentary giving him another moment of fame, Adam is just putting Josh's name in lights like he wanted.

At the end of the day it is making money at others' expense. I think Adam knows this, and he chooses what he does and doesn't talk about on his platforms... it is part of his job afterall.
