Some background on what this is actually about might help.
[QUOTE=Sanjuaro;49590005]Some background on what this is actually about might help.[/QUOTE] Meatsleep was a recently made chaotic fiction channel like Marble Hornets and EverymanHYBRID that utilized a cool mechanic behind the scenes where the creators would secretly pay attention to fan speculation and, using dice rolls, determine wether or not the speculation would become canon in the story. The fans were basically the directors, unknowingly steering the plot through their speculation as they tried to unravel the mystery. What happened to cause the shutdown is a bit confusing to me since I didn't pay much attention, but from what I can gather, the videos kept disappearing (probably for some plot-related reason) all of a sudden, and when the fanbase got no response from meatsleep about it, they got increasing aggressive about the lack of responses until they were sending call-outs, threatening emails, and open harassment and they even tried to shut down the series' offical facebook account. Apparently mysogyny was also being levied against the creators but I fail to see it. Basically, all this hostility ended up causing the creators to lose interest rapidly and reveal they were going to shut down the series in a final video, shown in the intro to this one.
wow, i enjoyed watching meatsleep and it partly inspired me to make similarly creepy shit damn
i'm actually pretty upset about meat shutting down, it was a really cool channel. you all ruined it, idiots.
