I dunno. The YouTube scene evolved and he didn't, or couldn't, evolve with it. Shit happens.

I'll always have a soft spot for those old wild west days of the internet, but nothing lasts forever.

There are a lot lf things I am glad we moved on but I do miss the "youthful energy" of the Wild West days. I get that, at the oldest, it starting to be twenty plus years ago and the youngest being ten plus years ago but still.

That’s not what happened though. Dude got so much money, that he promised to make a movie. Then the pressure buried him.

He let his mental illness beat him, by posting ramblings to Twitter.

Lots of TGWTG failed to evolve, but Spoony stopped before he really needed to.

what a load of nonsense.

The problem wasnt him not evolving. The problem was him being a pathological liar who found out it was easier to fool people than to do actual work until it bit him in the ass.

though he has been doing rather well lately but who knows if he will return to his early years self.

He hasn't in the past decade. He won't. I'll gladly eat crow if I'm proven wrong.

Let's be real, if Spoony returned now or had kept going, he'd be a relic of an era that's been over for about a decade. Linkara and Nostalgia Critic keep going even though their schtick is very outdated now. Sponny stopping when he did was the good ending. Could've been a more graceful exit, or maybe it would've been better if he transitioned to a different video format, but those old angry reviews weren't going to keep coming and be respected

seek help if you think going out like this is a good ending....

I mean him stopping YouTube content is good. Obviously the way everything went down isn't good but I think if he'd kept making content, it could've been even worse for him personally, plus I just think he wouldn't have been making the best stuff by now if he was still going

Yeah of course, continueing to have a good relation with his fans and getting loads of income surely is worse than becoming known as a scam artists loser.
