Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

I don't wanna sound entitled but I've run out of patience with Fred Knudsen. He makes quality content but he seems to have gotten in way over his head with this new project. I check his twitter every now and then and he's been saying for nearly a year now that the new video is almost done, just a few more weeks, or a month... Then he disappears for a while and makes another tweet pushing the date back again. As for theories on what is going on behind the scenes for him to be this far behind schedule, I don't have anything good.

Patreon
Makes almost $2.5K a month on Patreon currently. Depending on where he lives and if he's been streaming I think he's doing just fine. I'd probably take my time on projects too if I was making this much a month with no content output.
 
Last I heard Knudson/Down the Rabbithole was deep into research and possibly suicidal? Any updates on what he's up to right now?
He's been working on a 6 hour video on eve online
It's been in the works for months, it's probably do to be released soon
As for the him being suicidal, haven't heard of this

Also it took you guys this long to find out he's a furfag? I've known about this shit for years
I'm pretty sure he's was a furfag way before his video of the community

I think I posted about it on kf a year ago ish, I don't usually dig into the backgrounds of every person I follow for videos or art online unless they're showing clear cow tendencies in said material or on the page I see their shit. What was obvious furryshit from him well before the furfag video? I'll admit I didn't dig that far but the only obvious stuff shows up in the months before it was published.
 
another taken by the virus. R.I.P
Beware anyone infected by the furry rabies, but Owl fursonas seem to be a particularly bad strain.
If Shammy and Fred are anything to go by, while other strains get you into the real degenerate shit, Owls fuck you up psychologically and wreck your life.

There must be some animistic totem shit going on, the Owl Spirit doesn't like being summoned so carelessly.

I misremembered what part of his branding is used for furshit, I'm sure the owl is sometimes but he retweets furry and other weirdness of the rabbit mixed with himself more than anything.

Including this troony weirdshit.

The owl is actually treated like the logo it was originally.

If you dig into his twitter account, you will occasionally see him retweet fanart of his fursona

This was back in 2017, a year before his furry video
Edit: I should also mention in 2019 he revealed a second fersona
A shark

My fault for not digging back enough again, so he does flip flop between using the rabbit or the owl for furry tendencies. I'll give him that the furry content in his feed appears to consist of retweeted fanart that he wouldn't necessarily have asked for.
 
Calling it now, his next video is going to mention him going by they/them and then it's just farther and farther down hill from there.
That was retweeted back in 2021, he is surprisingly inactive on twitter though puts way too much importance on resharing weird fanart. If he was going to troon out it could have happened way sooner but I guess I shouldn't consider it impossible.
 
"ediciuS" is still censored as usually on that site. Remember kiddies: truth crime and Youtube go together like decade old jizz on year old toast. I really wish they just not say the no no word and better yet.. make your own "truth crime and horror" video platform instead. Oh and something about a mad ruski going full on "Columbine" on a butch of students. Enjoy!
 
So apparently this video pushed the creators of Misery Machine too much and they had to take a break. They also want to stop covering cases involving children but saw a 50% drop in views and got hate mail when they stopped posting for a bit. They now plan on making a second channel for I guess really bad stuff. I mean if you're getting burned out from going out a looking for this awful shit maybe stop, but no that would cut in to profits.

This is the same people that have this in their channel description.

Yeah, they're not like the other boring true crime channels.

He was also waaay too kind to Wings of Redemption.
 
He has multiple cases of someone COOKING THEIR INFANT ALIVE and that was fine for him. The straw the breaks the camels back in true crime channels is always odd to me.
I think I can explain why this happens to youtubers that just dive in to this shit without thinking.

Many people that work with cases like this, in real life and seeing this stuff online as an actual job, are encouraged and sometimes even mandated to take a break to depressurize once in a while. It can be something like having a few hours dedicated to watching a nice show or movie everyday, going for a walk, making yourself go out and just talk with friends about stupid shit, and once your off the clock not thinking about work. There are also therapist that specialize in this kind of trauma because seeing this type of shit everyday can be traumatizing. Once you're done with a case or the case has been sent to someone else just learn to not think about it, it'll will eat you up inside if you think about it all the time and that's not good, best to just learn to forget.

These youtube channels don't do any of that, they just research this thing and research that thing all the time, research, record, edit, over and over. And if they want to make money from it they have to keep churning out videos on the regular so people will watch. They never take a break of any kind. Then they have a breakdown because they read wiki and news articles of horrible crimes. Imagine if they were the cops that had to see and smell those bodies, talk with heartbroken family, or read the rights to the scum that did it.

They all breakdown because it's hard to know that things like that happen in this world. It's hard for the people that deal with those cases and it's hard for the families. These youtubers seem to think that just reading about it can't wear you down, but it does and that's a normal human response. But they do it to themselves because they feel they need to find juicy stories to exploit and make money off of. That's why I have no sympathy when they "have to take a break for muh mental health". They went looking for it and they didn't have to.
