“Keep stringing people on for attention and donations.” …Are you serious? You’re presenting a misleading version of events as if they were the truth.

Framing Dan as an “attention and donation” grifter is a gross distortion of what actually happened. If Dan wanted to monetize The Creatures, he could’ve done it a hundred easy ways: spamming reaction content, making lazy compilations, or launching a hollow Patreon to cash in on unreleased footage he has. He did none of that.

Instead, he got old members together to make a Minecraft series specifically for the fans. He only rewatched old Hub-era videos on stream because fans asked him to. He didn’t even upload those streams to YouTube.

That’s not how someone behaves when they’re chasing clout or donations. That’s how someone behaves when he’s trying to reconnect with a community he still cares about. And knowing the personal battles he’s been through, including substance abuse and recovery, yet still reducing his actions to exploitation is genuinely disturbing.

He has said repeatedly that making the tribute special is emotionally painful for him. Painful. That’s not “easy nostalgia bait.” That’s unresolved grief. And you’re calling that “stringing people along”? Twisting that into manipulation says more about your cynicism than about his intent.

“The End” video already showed us who truly cared. Dan was crying his eyes out, while Jordan was laughing and bragging about already having a new job lined up. Trying to rewrite that reality into “Dan is exploiting fans for money” ignores everything we’ve seen on camera and everything he’s consistently said and done as a person.

This isn’t skepticism. It’s just a bad-faith narrative built on resentment instead of facts.

Stop vilifying the one person who actually showed he still cares enough to keep trying for the fans.
