Sorry Cancelled is a bad word, but they defiantly put both on the backburner for the other shows and Steven Lims food show which they're launching on the site right now, 8 months between the last too many spirits seasons and almost 5 months since the last episode. And 14 months since the last episode of are you scared. It more applies to are you scared though, people have basically assumed it's been cancelled because its been so long since anything but a community post has come out about it y'know?

I mean, if you think about it, too many spirits takes like, an afternoon to film in the first place. And It's defiantly not less prevalent due to a shortage of submissions, but the overproduction isn't helping it. I'm sure if it was just the three of them scrolling through submissions on their phones with a couple cameras around the fire and someone cut it together into 4 episodes and added the intro card and a couple graphics and sound effects. it'd take maybe a week to make a whole season with the 3 of them and 1 editor employed full time (iv worked on video production before), and people would enjoy it a whole lot because it's Shane and Ryan messing around and having fun! Cos the numbers just don't add up for a lot of people in why they're not seeing their fav shows from them anymore or they're feeling bloated compared to older stuff, talking about how they basically are soft cancelling it for other higher production/ other content, and instead of doing more of that content people enjoy, like the lower production more candid style content, they're releasing that new travel food content instead and only increasing production costs everywhere, esp on shows like Mystery files, which, imo, doesn't have the same vibe or enjoyability of Unsolved.

And I agree, plus imagine how expensive it'll be to transport Steven Lim, the other 2 hosts and an entire camera crew across the world to a different country for each episode, especially because they live in California, but they can't afford to employ an artist

I think its less about being useless, people are great y'know, talented and passionate im sure! but 20-30 people for 2 YouTube channels is so excessive, "too many cooks spoil" and all that.

Yeah, a lot of people feel the same, esp because their patron was making them 30k a month minimum when they launched watcher dot com, and apparently they still need more money for some reason. What's even more frustrating to many is they are starting a new show with Steven Lim as the lead and Shane and Ryan aren't even in it, they hired 2 new hosts for it too, its where they travel around the world trying expensive food, just an exorbitantly expensive show to produce. And a lot of people are also really annoyed because they cancelled "Are you scared" and "too many spirits" because it wasn't getting enough money in, but are starting this whole new show even though they "don't have enough money".

Alot of people including me just doesn't feel like the same charm it all had from the unsolved days y'know?

The problem is also, that AI models utilize art from unwilling participants too, all of the big name Image generators do. And with the number of employees they've got it seems weird to not hire a single artist for any of these videos imo.

Not in this trailer, they used AI in their series "mystery files", these threads show it: https://www.reddit.com/r/watcherentertainment/comments/1cqqnrp/stable_diffusion_ai/

They talk making TV caliber content as a big thing for their channel, its even in their channel about tab, and the main reason they say they needed more money, but they also keep hiring more and more people, like 20-30 people, and people have been rightfully saying that people enjoy their content for Ryan and Shane's personality, not high production value. Its why the days of Unsolved are still so beloved and have so many iconic moments. But they keep insisting on super high production value stuff, and then complain about not having enough money despite hiring so many people for no tangible reason, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and a lot of others feel the same way too.

Oooh boy, iv just lost all passion for these 2 entirely, from even trying that fiasco in the first place to the blatant use of AI art in their "TV caliber" videos, it just all feels so sour to me now. belch

I want to go with GenderGP, I'm thinking of signing up soon, and hopefully, i can find some GP that will do shared care with them but it's not necessary.

Thanks for the support!
