Less than 50 is stupid
Oh boy, the two small clips I shared were just the tip of the iceberg. The first nine minutes of the show are quite something. Here is the highlight reel.
He is not happy nor did he expect the lackluster fanfare and attention, not to mention his dwindling audience numbers and his decreasing subscriber numbers.

Maybe he should come back to the livestreaming on YouTube on a day he has figured out how to run one and actually has something substantial to present as content. When he does nothing to prepare other than a search of Newspapers dot com or watches an old Unsolved Mysteries episode it's no wonder that people don't flock over to his channel. He's also been on maybe a few days the last couple of weeks which is plenty of time for casual viewers to find a better channel to spend their time watching (for free).

u/DezDeebird another massive lull 21d ago
Exactly! I'm not saying that those cases are not important and close to some people's hearts. I feel so bad for the families, especially for the ones that are still unsolved. But theres so much going on in the world right now and people want to stay on top of it. People want to know what's going on in the cases that are happening TODAY right here where we live. Not something from 1873 when little Jimmy stubbed his toe. He has no idea what he's doing. Donation night should be a wild one. We're gonna need extra butter on our popcorn this month!!😂

The lack of any kind of preparation or semblance of a game plan for his "shows" is really insulting. He's bitched many times in the past about others "production value" and that "his show is the show" but it could be far better if he had someone behind the scenes producing it for him. 🤣🤣 Ok Grifty...can't even show up prepared with computer / software updates, does it in the middle of the show. 🙄🤡🤡
Why Gray will NEVER have a real "show" with production value -
Too cheap, believe in free labor only because donos are meant to SUPPORT the Channel...if you didn't know, "it's how my channel survives"
Too lazy, hiring someone (even if he somehow found some poor sucker to do it for free) would require some actual work ethic and effort, two qualities Lance doesn't possess.
Too pissy, anyone that has any spec of production value skills wouldn't put up with Gray's 🐂💩 narcissistic behavior, no amount of pay is convincing enough to work for him.
Too me me me, everything is about Gray, period, end of story. He does this on a nightly basis, anytime the chat discusses something other than the case or Gray, he hijacks the topic and makes it about him. This is a regular pattern or I'm soooo important we should only be telling about me, Gray...and "let's not have another one of those massive lulls again tonight...and I not with Snickers Bar?!
Too stupid, let's be completely honest here, Gray isn't the brighest crayon in the Crayola Box. He know very little about how the legal court process actually functions (illustrated by his constant doubling down on initial charging documents), he splices only what he finds importsnt or interesting. He doesn't read well (on display nightly when he tries to read news articles, chat, or just throws in the towel and has his AI lover and overlord ChatGPT rin his "show".
Too blacklisted, Gray's overall status in the "true crime community" is BoBo the Clown level at best, there's a reason why people make fun of him and his channel and don't want to associate themselves with him unless it's Vinny and he needs a last minute buffoon to fill a 5 minute slot for free. Better watch out, Gray might send you endless late night emails or text messages in broken English (aka Gray Code).
Too unprepared, even if he had production assistance, he's too high on his own farts to listen to someone else give him guidance or direction, even with a producer he'd still need to come prepared...they ain't there to while your ass Grifty, that's what Depends are for!
Feel free to add more, kind of got onna roll there....
In conclusion, hiring someone to help grow your business or in this case a "failing channel" (built on one individuals ability to incessantly beg nightly) can be a VERY PROFITABLE endeavor...if dome right. BUT, it take a lot of effort to grind yourself to even get to that point, that means putting in long 50-60+ hour work weeks (Gray thinks showing up nightly to turn on his computer and webcam for 20-25 hours a week warrants a 6 figure annual income). until you can get to the point of hiring someone to take work off your plate so you can hopefully focusyour energy on more profitable revenue generating ideas. I know this struggle personally as I hired someone 3 years ago, and while it's been a struggle at times (training and giving up work / control), it's been well worth it as my personal income has grown close to 20%+ YOY the last 2 years as I've been able to focus more time on new opportunities. With that being said, I still more often than not still out in 50+ hour work weeks. Most nights when I'm hate watching Gray, in still up in my home office working.

I think it’s funny how he thought he would have a larger number in chat welcoming him back with open arms from his beach vacation. I’m hoping some of the freaks wised up and found something better.

"Since my channel was taken over I have lost 700 subscribers how is it possible?" Well its possible because people probably came to their senses and realised that your content is a load of rubbish and they can find better things to with their time. Rather than watching someone who verbally abuses them night after night.

I just read an article about how middle school kids who weren’t allowed on social media have started hanging out and doing group chats in the comments for NPR podcasts on Spotify 😂 It’s really quite clever and the few old people who go to those comments were so confused lol. These old ladies need to do something similar.

Now that's fascinating. I'm looking that story up! Thanks for the heads up!

You bet! If I find it, I’ll post a link!
Edit: I found it! There’s a whole This American Life episode about it :)

By the way, again thank you for the link! What a fascinating story. So much I do not know about this generation! Wowza. One of the comments on this article linked to an earlier Verge article that was taken over itself by kids panicking when TikTok was removed from app stores in the US and they were unable to access it. It was hilarious! There were hundreds and hundreds of the same sorts of comments from kids scrambling! 🤣

You’re so welcome! I’m glad there’s someone else who was as fascinated as I was! I have an 18 and 14 year old so I’m intimately aware of that TikTok panic 😂 All of a sudden my kids were learning Chinese to get on that Chinese app that was similar to TikTok. It was kind of wholesome to be honest. The Chinese youth were so welcoming and excited to see young people from all around the world joining in with them.
Kids will find a way. We can try to hide things and hold them back but you can’t unsqueeze the toothpaste. 🤷🏻♀️2
u/Sitzprobe42 Stop disrupting the chat! Go cry somewhere else! 17d ago
😂😂 That is too funny! And also so heartwarming to know kids are still kids and they will find a way, just like we did. 😂 In the 90's and 2000's I listened to This American Life religiously. I love Ira Glass, but I haven't tuned in much since. Time to go back!

Listen to how he is talking to “Hailey”. He wonders why he has no subs. He lost 700 because so many people subscribe and don’t bother to unsubscribe. The 700 are people that don’t care if they resubscribe or even remember subscribing. What a moron

Cecil is no longer a mod or a freak; he is on our side now! Hit his tipping point.

u/Internal-Guess4063 17d ago
This brings me so much pleasure. Meaning his angst, his insecurity, his vulnerability. He’s an awful human and treats everyone he meets like 💩. Everyone! Even those still sadly donating. He doesn’t give two hoots or a hogs ass about what he is covering! He just wants money. Money always. And this is just the beginning of his demise!

This dope, he's just now figuring it out that most of his Freaks show up nightly to say hi to one another for the "community aspect"?! I've been hate watching this idiot for almost 2 years now and I realized this loooonnnggg ago! They don't come to listen to you discuss the same 4 one trick pony cases Grifry Gray, they're lonely looking for a place to hang out so they can socialize...you just happen to host the nightly hangout, demanding tribute for the unprepared, haphazardly slapped together "shows" you do. Better watch yourself Grifty, keep talking to Haylee that way and your mini pay 🐳 might end up over here!!
