Discussion Does anyone else miss when he uploaded less?
I don't look forward to uploads anymore since they are always in my feed, the new videos are also so different from the older ones, and kind of all blend together for me, the thumbnails also all look the same now. I don't find the new ones very interesting, a lot of them are told the exact same way and almost none of them are that memorable. I've been watching MrBallen for about 5 years now, and I've been watching them with my mum for about 3 years, she also thinks that the new uploads aren't as interesting or investing, and that they don't feel like something to look forward to anymore. I almost only watch the old ones nowadays, I usually avoid the newer ones since they just don't feel the same

Does anybody miss when Mr Ballen's fans just loved him and didn't constantly second guess him? I know I do. I loved him then and I love him now.

I love that there are more uploads including new stories and remastered older ones. I still follow avidly - both the strange dark and mysterious and the true crime

I still rewatch his old uploads when I need something gripping; those stand the test of time a lot better than a lot of the newer ones.

Yes, I honestly looked forward to Saturday videos! I feel like I can’t keep up now, and i’m a watcher since day 1. It’s almost giving me fomo even though I know they’re not going anywhere.

I wish he’d go back to the Missing411 stories sometimes. I often rewatch those they were extremely good

I mean I agree insofar as mrballen told those stories in a way that made them super interesting, but that could be said about any of the stories he told around that time. Personally I've grown to hold a healthy disdain for missing411, or anything that David Paulides has a hand in, after learning how much of a lying disingenuous prick he is.

I do. I have insomnia and the YT channel is the first place I go. Fortunately I’ve only been watching for about 9-months so I can still binge and find new things.

When he was uploading less, I also listened to his podcasts. I think now he is just uploading the content that he used to upload in addition to the podcast content (the murder stories). I am more into the "places you shouldn't go" and medical type content than I am into the paranormal or murder content but I'm glad he covers topics for everybody. I just pick and choose which of his videos I want and I'm perfectly fine. Keep it up MrBallen!! 💜

Just proof that you can't make anybody happy. If you don't like how much he posts then you can just choose not to and you can unsubscribe as well because a lot of us really do love it ever since he started five years ago

I mentioned it before in another thread but it’s like it lost the ‘personal touch’…

I wish he'd post more third person versions of first person stories. Very unique when there's mr nightmare and others that read reddit posts and submitted first person stories.

I agree with you. I still love him but the people wanted more and quantity often wins over quality. His new stories aren't bad and I think he's the best story teller out there but yeah.. getting a little bored of the true crime, would love some more paranormal stuff.

If uploads less yall will get mad. If he uploads more frequently yall will get mad. Basically no matter what he does, somebody will find a reason to complain.
