"Like, if you know it isnt happening, why are you still teasing that it could? that’s only gonna lead to MORE disappointment." Honestly I think "this whole ‘not saying anything’ air" is because Josh and Disney KNOW EXACTLY THIS. That it will lead to disappointment and less people watching. I don't want to call it baiting cause we will get some form of canon gay BUT it touching very closely as it feels like they are not doing it to create a genuine hope, they're doing it to protect advertisers

Yeah it’s all about ratings for sure but like,, heres the thing:

Andi Mack “andimackers” the “friendom” whatever you call it, its literally 1% or less of the total viewership. there might be more on instagram but most of them are jandis and tuffys anyway lol. this news, which would reach MAYBE 3k people, while would upset us, all those people will likely still watch the finale. we still know tyrus is canon and who tf thats in this fandom is gonna be like ??they get together but no kiss? nup not for me! ... thats like lowkey weird lol are you REALLY just watching this show for two boys to kiss ??? 😳

so if news gets out that theres no kiss, maybe 10 weirdos out there will ‘boycott’ the finale. the rest of us truly, wholly, love this show. we are here until the end and we’ll rewatch when its over and we’ll support a movie or season 4 until we croak. i have MUCH doubt that ratings would be affected by josh tweeting ‘ there is unfortunately no tyrus kiss, but there is a beautiful moment that will be a first on disney’ (or something to that degree) i do believe he is NOT allowed to say that tho.

So the rest of the 655000 average viewers? yeah they’re kids aged 8-14 literally just watching the show when they get home from school, when they go over to a friends house, when they see the jandi kiss promo and go :O if youre under 13 you cant be on social media, sure some are, but i can guarantee about 99% of those kids are not in the andi mack fandom. they dont follow josh on any platform besides maybe their moms instagram acct, they arent engaged like we are, they aren’t obsessing over tyrus, they havent been teased about a kiss or not, they probably forgot iris exists. they watch the show and either ship tuffy, tira, or have clued into cyrus having a crush on tj and think ‘omg what if tj liked him back???’

that is really the majority of the viewers. like, yall realise there arent 600k people in the fandom right 😭

so there you have, let’s say, 600k people that regularly watch the show that literally would never see any news about a tyrus kiss maybe or maybe not happening, let alone confirmation of it (not) happening.

you would have maybe 3k (and thats a REAL stretch) people seeing this confirmation, and of those 3k ill be bold and say 100 would decide they dont wanna watch the finale if they heard there was no kiss.

in ratings thats like,, not even statistically significant. So no spoilers, sure, ok. but why hype it up or down? it REALLY doesn’t affect anything and it just sets those 3k people up to be (a little) disappointed in the finale.

i get the fandom does exist and has some kind of presence but look: i made an am stan twitter, right? so i use that for my fandom stuff, but i have a different twitter that i use every day and follow no andi mack stuff or people on. i have seen the show pop up exactly ONCE and it was a weird mutual connection of an actor i followed with josh. i dont mean to say anything bad but we ARE a small fandom. its just a fact, i dont think this news, no kiss, could do anything. (if there WAS a kiss, thats a completely different story, i do believe that would blow up)

if you told someone who didnt watch this show: “andi mack has two gay boys but they arent gonna kiss in the finale :((” they’d go : whats andi mack and you’d go “this show on disney but its really good” and theyd go “gays on disney? like for real? wow thats cool” and youd go “yeah but they arent gonna KISS” and theyd go “ i mean its disney channel...” and you’d go “ya but theyre gonna be official” and theyd go “what WHAt theres gonna be a canon gay couple on disney??” and youd go “ya but-” and theyd go “thats crazy! wow maybe ill watch” “but-” “wow gay teens on disney confessing feelings a WIN” “but-” “and hes SAID the word gay??” “yeah but i-” “wow 2019 is a whole other world huh”

you get me?

people older than you: watch cos omg gay boys on disney? 12 year old me could never imagine.

people younger than you: omg do you think jandi is gonna get back together?? omg does buffy like marty now??omg cyrus does NOT like kira :o hey why did ham go to india?

TLDR; confirming a kiss to not exist would likely not affect ratings at all, i get why they dont wanna say anything because its a spoiler, but hyping it up really doesnt do much either. this fandom tends to forget it makes up less than 1% of viewership. the teasing of a kiss only does more harm than good
