honestly?? barely veiled is bold. some of y’all were really acting like steven personally murdered your entire bloodline and shane had zero input in any of this. your favorite white boy is not being harmed i promise jfc he’s a grown man

look. i’m not saying you had to agree with the decision they made or anything. but to immediately jump to hurling insults and barely veiled racism?? fucking insane. just say you never respected them as people and go

#i love shane but JESUS FUCK some of y’all are wild #okay. i’m making myself more upset i’m going back in my little hide-y hole :3

[foralltheshaniacs]

okay watcher fandom!!! time to get outside and touch some grass!!! war is over!!! go live life!!!

[foralltheshaniacs]

#some of yall really showed ur true colors #hoping that those who said they were turning their backs stick to their guns bc if that’s how you immediately react nobody wants you here #tee bee aych #watcher

[foralltheshaniacs]

actually i'm pretty fucking mad at the fact that people are going "glad they finally listened" and such only after literally being racist and unnecessarily cruel to the watcher founders. the fact that none of you are self aware is disgraceful but not surprising.

#'oh thank god they listened to me!' #them 2 hours ago: this is all steven lims fault because he owns a tesla. eat the rich. shanes innocent in this #<- PREV LITERALLY OH MY GOD

[foralltheshaniacs]

how quickly people forgot (or i guess, never considered) the fact that ryan shane and steven are real life people is something i will never forget. you do not deserve the apology and grace watcher is giving you right now

#some of you don’t see artists as people and it fucking shows

[foralltheshaniacs]

so are watcher fans going to apologize for the unreal amounts of racism they projected toward steven or are we going to pretend that was totally normal behavior?

[foralltheshaniacs]

idk how the watcher fandom is soo happy now like y’all bullied and threatened full grown adult men just cuz they wanted some money after they’ve been giving content for free for years. y’all i can’t you threatened physical harm against them and turned on them so fucking fast like jesus christ

[foralltheshaniacs]

ok ok. now. gotta focus. shifting into watcher mode.

The night before Watcher's big Announcement

4/18/24; no spoilers here. Just a bit of reflection.

12 years ago, I started blogging on this Tumblr page to capture my feelings and where I was at. Even though so much has changed, it also feels like nothing at all has changed. Back then, I was a kid from Ohio just trying to make a living off YouTube. At the time, I didn't even know how to operate a camera, how to act on screen, or even how to edit a video. But I knew that I loved the process of making videos, and that propelled me day by day.

When I started making YouTube videos in 2012, I gave myself 4 years before I'd call it quits. 4 years to make a living or I'd reconsider and find a different career path. Looking back, I didn't realize how close I cut it. But it really wasn't until 3 years in that I made a hit. And I thank God every day because it was some combination of luck, hard work. and divine intervention that somehow someway led me to work at BuzzFeed, create Worth It, meet Ryan and Shane, launch Watcher, and well.. the rest is history.

That being said, I'm at a crossroads here again. Tomorrow is kind of a big day for me and our team. It's nerve-wracking to take risks at this stage of my career and company's life. Who knows where things will go? Will we succeed or will we fall flat on our face? I truly don't know. But no matter what, I just wanted to take this time to dwell in a place of gratitude. Thank you to all the people who have supported my career, team Watcher, and the shows we make. I can't believe this is my job that I get to wake up and do every single day. Speaking of job, thank you to my team at Watcher, I love you and am so grateful for all of you. I can't believe how hard you all work day in and day out to make the beautiful videos and shows that we do. Thank you to my wife, thank you to my family and friends, thank you to our investors/mentors, and thank you to God.

For some reason this journal entry came out like an acceptance speech at the People's Choice Awards. Whoops. I honestly don't even know what I wanted to get across when I started writing but that's it for now. Tomorrow's a big day and I don't know what this means for myself or for Watcher's. But what I do know is that it's been the best five years of my life building Watcher and I thank God every day for that.

See you on the other side,

Steven

#SO excited!!!!
