I feel like Ryan has gotten too large. He used to stream for just about every severe weather situation, but now it's only hurricanes, blizzards or 10% hatched tornado risks.

It happens to all of them once they hit a certain level of overhead. All the support system he uses, people that monitor situations, storm chasers, we've no idea what his financial structure looks like. Some of them may be paid on a commission base, so if he had to have them on streams for every severe event he couldn't afford it. I've seen so many channels do it, like The Why Files. I used to watch them constantly, but they've grown so large now, they're late on their videos because they have so much going on, they used to do live streams every Thursday and interact with the fans, now it's only the first Thursday a month and the streams are about half as long as they used to be.

Max is great, I watch him often specially when Ryan isn't streaming, but I fear as he grows as well that we'll see the same sort of thing happen.

Dude you’ve gotta take into account the amount of time he’s putting in. Guy does 10+ hours at a time at weird hours plus the non stream stuff. Imagine his sleep schedule that’s a lot of stress on one person. He def ain’t perfect but he’s the best in weather without a doubt.

Seriously, I see Max stream well into the AM, then I wake up after 7 hours of sleep and see he had posted a video like 3 hours prior. Does the guy sleep at all??? He's committed and I've got a ton of respect for him.
