I’ve been watching Ryan, Shane, and Steven since their Buzzfeed days, and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. Ghost files and mystery files are my favorites, but I also love are you scared?, too many spirits, top 5 beat down, puppet history and get scared. But honestly I have watched many others including the pandemic ones. What keeps me coming back is the fact that you can tell the team genuinely cares about what they create. Their shows are well-produced, entertaining, and filled with the kind of passion and creativity that’s becoming harder to find online. Especially with AI slop everywhere. I know some people were upset when Watcher moved toward its own streaming platform, but honestly, I understand why. In today’s economy, creators can’t always rely on ad revenue, sponsorships and views alone if they want to continue making the content they believe in. As a physician who owned a practice, it is tough out there. We all need to stick together.

I have been following the guys ever since I was in high school, and I’m 25 now. When they first announced Watcher Entertainment I was so excited to see what the guys could come up with, and with every show that they produce they have never let me down. Steven, Ryan, and Shane are so clearly dedicated and invested in what they do, and the behind the scenes crew are killing it! Everyone’s passion for Watcher is evident in everything they do, and it’s so fun to see the shows they come up with.When they first announced WatcherTV I was hesitant, mainly because it was still only a website, so I felt like it wouldn’t be easy for someone to watch their content on their phone if they were out and about. But now that they have an app the experience is made so much better, especially since the app is available on so many platforms! It’s all organized nicely, and I’m so excited to see what they have coming for us next!

Im glad the guys were able to pull away from Buzzfeed and make a living off of doing what they love. While I understand people getting upset about the whole subscription debacle, I also think people need to realize that this is their livelihood. They are artists, and they deserve to be paid for what they create. These people constantly dish out funny, entertaining, and good-hearted content and they very obviously care for their viewers. I am glad that I can just go to this app and find incredible stuff and have my comfort shows playing all day while I go about doing whatever I do around the house. I do wish they were able to bring over their Buzzfeed Unsolved stuff to Watcher to be able to see, but I understand there is probably a bunch of legal stuff that they would need to go through in order for that to happen, and this is THEIR program, not Buzzfeed’s

Watcher Entertainment has some incredibly wonderful content both in the realm of paranormal and history content. Puppet history has some of the wildest and most fun improv’d lore I’ve ever heard, along with thoughtfully chosen guests and a 10 out of 10 banger of a song every episode (no I will not take criticism and neither should Shane). The app itself could use a little bit of work, but overall it’s done well and I really love that it will continue to play the content while my phone is locked. Little things like that and being able to download episodes for off-line view make it really great. Making the switch to a streaming service is hard for anyone, but they took the feedback from their initial backlash and turned it into something that I think really works. I greatly enjoy the podcast as well and being able to see it is really nice.
