    How about the ones that seem to have just fucking quit? Barely Sociable popped up, produced a bunch of pretty cool videos, and has just fucking disappeared. Same with Fredrick Knudsen or however you spell the name of the “Down The Rabbit Hole” guy. Apparently some noise about making a 5 hour video followed by months of radio silence. Like my dude…break that up into parts.

      The way you phrase this comes off as incredibly entitled. Sometimes, a lot of times even, people make something and put it out there; then something else in their life happens that just pulls them away.

      They’re not beholden to continue to make anything for anyone.

      There was a very early YouTuber and Something Awful Goon that went by the YouTube handle Research Indicates.

      Dropped the gold standard for Let’s Play videoes and then never uploaded another one again.

        Well there’s your problem, the nursing home he’s been put in probably doesn’t let him upload.

      Love Fredrick. That seems to be his MO for years now. A couple releases a year that are hours long. I just hope he’s doing well.
