It has been over for a long time. Everything after stream.me has really just been a long goodbye.
The sektur was dead the moment it was born, and the true birth of the sektur was the Baked Alaska implosion stream, 6 years gone now. We have watched the rise and fall of Ethan Ralph, but the fall has been longer and he fell much further than he ever climbed.
It has been fascinating. Betrayal after betrayal, bridge burned after bridge burned. The rise and fall of countless z-list wanna be e-celebs and at the center there were two driving forces that it all revolved around, Mister Metokur and Ethan Ralph.
The cast has been endless. From alogs like the Council of Evil including weirdos like the Daimyo and MormonShaggy back all the way to Plate Gang and the Anime Mafia (lol), From Flamenco and Gator to callers like DarkVulgar and Butters we have seen Ethan Ralph outlive and outlast everyone. Everyone is gone. Zidan, Gator, Rand, AndyWarski, Flamenco, Bibble, the weird ass kid from InfoWars, SouthernDingo, even the hosts of the other shows like TonkaSaw, Joachim, Ancapistan, gone. Friend, Foe, tangential acquaintences, gone gone gone.
Nick Rekieta is a blood feud who doesn't even talk to or about Ethan. Dick Masterson laughs at him now, Ethan is basically a side show freak for Dick at this point. Ethan is Dick's Beetlejuice. No one left to him but the catboys who think he is a joke and Baked Alaska who is a fed.
Ethan Ralph drew his energy from those around him. Without anyone around him the show is literally just getting wasted, yelling at people to donate and watching Tucker who is just as phony politically as Ethan is himself.
Always the "consummate host" he tried for a while to live above the drama, at least on air. When his star waned and he could no longer get good guests on the show, when the Richard Spencers of the world would throw him a bone once every two years for old time's sake and guests with other platforms fell away to those other platforms, Ethan became the drama publicly (he was always behind the scenes drama) and it has destroyed his life completely.
He wrung every last drop out of his 15 minutes of infamy and became a lolcow in the process. His demons were never defeated, his character never grew, his story arc has been a downward spiral for 5+ years.
How many times have people said "this is the end of Ethan Ralph and the Killstream" only to have him lift his head from his keyboard, give the screen a waxy eyed xaniberries death stare and say "You cant abort the Retort!"?
I think he has one more story left in him.
