Does anybody actually feed into the scam anymore?
Don't get me wrong, I've watched the boys for a while, but I feel like they were at their most genuine doing things like 25x25 and urban exploring. The early days of their ghost hunting was fun entertainment and I still watch them, but it all seems so contrived now.
Each episode is a new extreme method or something dangerous that "hasn't been tried before" and it just feels so contrived and disingenuous.
As somebody who actually believes in hauntings, has had a number of strange experiences over the years and has been a practicing witch for the past 20 years, their way of doing things feeds into the satanic panic mentality of the 80s and feeds into this mentality that anything non-christian is bad is just not helpful.
I also get concerned when I see so many young teens immediately think their life is at risk watching a haunted doll through YouTube.
This is how we got the Slenderman Incident in 2014, because there was no critical thinking combined with mental health issues.
Not saying the boys would want that, but I do think you have a responsibility regarding the content you put out and the beliefs you want to convey because it's pretty obvious to me - a 35 year old woman - that they don't believe in it themselves.
All for the sake of subscribing to xplrclub and views.
Does anyone else feel the same?
