Found a video from a few months ago that dives into some what makes this whole topic weird for a lot of people, I think, done by Renegade Cut:
Notably, Renegade Cut almost never shows his face in his videos, so he's clearly trying to use it to make his larger point here; parasocial relationships aren't automatically bad, but they present a lot of complications that lead to some of the strange behaviors we often see when discussing these creator/audience dynamics, especially in the world of instant communication and direct contact with the performers/creators we enjoy.

Brad: "On today's episode of 'Will It Fit?', we're gonna see just how far I can fit my head up my own ass."

If it were money, there are bigger sites that would happily partner with him. I may be talking out of my ass on this, especially based on what little I'm seeing in all this, but this feels all too familiar to me. I think we're seeing some symbiotic mental health issues starting to show display. I am absolutely not diagnosing from afar, but I worry about this, too. There are details that fit. Yeah, I can only say my own suspicions and the truth is, I/we are only seeing about .03% of this situation, and while that .03% may fit square into what I've seen and dealt with in the past, the other 99.97% makes all the difference and I have no idea about all that.

Allison re-tweeted this video from SoftLavender explaining the situation as she (SoftLavender) sees it.

Haha my first thought there is "why is the wife weighing in on stuff she wasn't there for?" I get supporting your husband, but that can be done implicitly without speaking on things you weren't involved in.

At first I was cautious about continuing to watch Cinemasnob videos when the Channel awesome implosion happened. Then I completely had no interests in watching after he tried to reduce CA's abuse of talent as "some people didn't get Applebees". Now I believe brad himself is possibly the reason he seems to run into so much drama with people who work with him(like Jake).
Seriously, f*** brad.

This thread made me look up Mike Matei's BS and Good Gravy is that disappointing.
That's gonna make Mondays awkward

It's sad seeing what became of so many of these people. I really liked a lot of them in high school and college.

Also, apparently, according to his video that he took down, Cinematic Venom also states that Erod (Blockbuster Buster) has kinda become an asshole as well.

Also, why does Brad and his Wife have the EXACT same voice?
Is that a Chicago accent? It's unsettling.

That sucks to hear as he was one of the last ones of channel awesome I used to watch with some regularity and thought he was one of the good ones.

twitter.com/torsoboy323/status/1146055199326396423For folks who were curious about the situation regarding Brian and Brad. Nothing too salacious, but gist of it is, things stopped being fun and fulfilling working for Brad, and the friendship died out along with the fun, in addition to him having been sympathetic to the former Channel Awesome people, along with not liking Rob and Doug for his own reasons. There are apparently also more personal reasons for these, but he is choosing to not get into that.
