Wait wait wait. "How it should have ended" is still around? That feels like an archaeological discovery...
...
Is it still crap?
Honestly it feels like all of the old youtube channels have just gotten worse over the years as the creators have gotten more tired, and running out of new ideas.
Like they'll join some network, go into partnerships, get a writing team, or whatever else, and instead of helping, it ends up being a detriment to the quality. A lot of channels built their followings on sharing their passion, but passion isn't infinite.
It's sad to say, but most ideas, concepts, and formats have a shelf life. There's only so much you can do with it before there's no more meat on that bone, and even the marrow can get quickly exhausted.
Whether it's a video, comic, or novel series, most of them will hit a point where they should end, but a lot of creators/artists keep dragging things out way beyond its lifetime.
Capitalism has some blame in this. If you're doing something that gets you paid, and maybe is your entire livelihood, then ending it just because you're out of ideas could be bad for you. If you try to start something new, you'll lose audience, and income.
Though I'm sure some people would do this even if money wasn't a factor. I mean, it's not like this concept doesn't show up in stories published for free as well. I guess some people are bad (or unwilling) at recognising when something has run out of juice.
I just think that in a better society, creators wouldn't be so scared to let stories have an ending.
... that turned into quite the trip. Hopefully there's a point in there, but regardless I'll take my own advice, and stop. :P
