      Yes I'm glad he wanted to pursue his channel even in a different direction. I think whatever topics he chooses it will be good and interesting to watch, because the talent is not in the topic, but in himself. It really reminds me of SEA channel who also started making videos about a video game and then transformed his channel to content about astronomy and physics and is one of the best. I see bright a future for MadSeason ahead.

    To add to Hana Kimura, the incident was started because a guy washed her prized Wrestling Outfit (which was her livelyhood/identity) permanently ruining it and she gave him a nasty tongue lashing. Fans deemed she was just too much a bitch getting so volatile over "just clothing" and attacked her online en masse.
    After she unalived herself, then guy she yelled at told everyone that the producers kept encouraging behavior/events that would make for better TV that a lot of people were uncomfortable. She was bullied to death because of a scripted or partially scripted reality TV and gullible hateful fans. Super hardcore fandoms can get real disgusting.
    The show until that moment was extremely popular for how real it felt which is why people believed the event to be so strongly real. The show fell hard when the truth was revealed and it was just like every other reality TV show.

But this new format? Oh boy. There's just something about your voice that's so... captivating? I dunno how to explain this, really. But the important topics you bring up along with the way you narrate everything is just magic at this point. I knew I'd stick around even if you dropped WoW oriented series, and I'm glad I did.

Many of the subjects mentioned rarely seem to be talked about and its good to shine a light on all the processes that occur behind the scenes in a way. I know not what the answer is in regards to a balance between parasocial relationships and entertainment, all I know is that it frightens me and has certainly helped curb the ambition I once had of wanting to be involved in making more online content. Im glad to see it hasnt stopped you from making videos that you want to make.

    I wanted to thank you for making a video like this. It just completely baffles my mind as to why people want to be so terrible to others and actually act it out. You could potentially be helping someone commit suicide and I cannot understand how people are ok with that. It takes so much more energy to think up of something to be so incredibly terrible to someone than the energy it would take to be a decent human being and not day or do anything at all. People are just terrible.

    I appreciate the coverage of such a topic that seems to be devoid of concern for those unaffected by their consequences. I hope you continue to make more documentary style pieces like this. The internet could use more quality media such as this to act as gems among all the muck.
