ive been seeing some people deride others as childish or whatever for being like "ghost/mystery files wasnt as good as buzzfeed unsolved" calling it "sour grapes", but i watched a video talkin abt the watcher thing just now (by stateofmoregon) where she points out that, when youve been receiving something for free, and u suddenly have to pay for it, it forces you to think about whether or not you actually like that thing—if it's worth paying for, if you only liked it before because it was free. which i think is a good point. it's not that people are suddenly denying they ever liked ghost/mystery files, its that many of us are being forced to reexamine whether or not ghost/mystery files is something we actually enjoy or if we were just taking it because it was free, and many of us are deciding that no, we never really did enjoy it on the same level as buzzfeed unsolved

i know that i personally havent even watched a ghost/mystery files episode in some time bc every time a new one popped up in my feed i just felt apathetic about it, none of the excitement i used to feel about new bfu eps. and i realized a while ago that ive only really been forcing myself to watch new ones out of the hope that maybe this time itll have the same charm as bfu did. so i really dont think its fair to say its "sour grapes". a lot of people are just being forced to reckon with feelings that theyve had for a while but just never bothered to acknowledge because hey, its free.

#this is probably the only thing i’ll reblog on the Watcher debacle #but yes this 100%#when i think about it the only shows I really looked forward to were puppet history and www #and maybe dish granted #but yea not enough of their content appeals to me for me to pay for another streaming service #i already have dropout but even that had to be a big consideration #before I subscribed to them my sister used to pirate d20 eps #realized a while later that I loved their shows so much that when I got a job I subscribed #also had to consider how many of my family/friends would use it too #anyway yea still baffles me how they missed the whole consumer research process #back to my hole

#mmm I understand how sad it must be for some people to lose generations of avatars and i guess it's worse cos aang's part of that and we #had an entire series where we saw his life #but also i dont think people remember that ep where aang tried asking for wisdom from previous avatars only to find out they all had agenda #that he didnt necessarily agree with #so like the ghost wisdom isnt really that big of a deal?? especially when avatars make choices relevant to them and their time??#also Korra losing the avatar lineage was a super weighty decision it's not like she did it on a fucking whim #in the end LoK was largely about modernization and reluctantly cutting ties with the past was sorta symbolic of that #Idk havent seen the series in a while maybe I should do a rewatch actually
