I mean I kinda think they arent avoiding it as much as there just isnt that much to tell. By the time Slowbeef was giving up being mod, he went on one of their Retsutalk podcasts, probably the only one I listened too, and basically addressed that he was kind of "done" with being an internet celebrity altogether, to a degree. He didnt announce that he was quitting entirely, but that if the opportunity didnt come up or make itself available, he wasnt going to seek out making content. And frankly by the time Retsutalk had started and was more than like a 1- or 2-off thing, I had considered Retsupurae already "dead". They had gone through at least one channel and I think had two strikes on the second, so they were being forced to play nice to keep ads and shit, and I think they were kind of getting bored of it anyway. A lot of the snobbery Retsupurae used to drag people over (and some things like monetization and ads on lets plays, sponsorships or being partnered) ended up bleeding over into the broad youtube scene anyway, and became not only popular, but profitable. I remember them hating Pewdiepie, but he was well on his way to his first millions by the time they had sort of given up, and I think Markiplier and JackSepticEye or the other PDP-like guy had sprung up too.So, to anyone who bothered to watch Beef and Beetus' streams, did they ever mention why the "quick hiatus due to Beetus's moving" turned into the unofficial death of RP and led to them not doing anything together for years? Or do they still just avoid that topic and act like whoever thinks they are hiding something is silly and delusional?
As well as they worked together, they really were just long distance internet friends and its like if you ever had a pen pal as part of school as a kid, youre like, "Yeah Ill get back to him, Ill write him back or hit him up when I get around to it," and you just never do.
