People on the internet are are really weird, you post your opinion, not insulting either the writer or the fans of the creepy. Then a person replies to you, saying that "people have opinions". Like they are trying to say that everyone has the right to post their opinion unless you say anything bad about the subject (even constructive criticism).

About the pasta, I feel like the writer at one point didn't know how to end it, so they just continued dragging. Like reviewing more episodes even when they already revealed what happened to the kids, or keep saying that the Mr. Bear messages are fake (to the point that he sounds dumb, how did he not notice that the hacker posted the "INRI" message before Elliot himself mentioned it in his blog?).

....

About the realism of the story, yes, is not trully that realistic. For starters, in the 90's video cameras were rare an expensive, so even with that bad quality the creator of the show would need a lot of money. And even more unrealistic when you remember that some local Canadian shows were really that crappy in video quality and bad puppets/suits and that Calendon is a really small town were the biggest landmark was a mill (I think, I don't remember that comment that well, but it was a Canadian guy who said that Calendon was a small town and if a person ran a network from there, the whole town would notice, because nothing happens there).

For the kids, I have the headcanon that they just ran away to the hut and never told their parents about the show,  because a good parent would definitely want to see the show before letting them go (and even if they didn't, they would certainly be alarmed when they discovered that the  "set" looked like an abandoned house).

I also have the headcanon that all the kids knew that the episodes weren't very child-friendly and probably watched the show out of morbosity (also, it's very possible that they went to the show as a dare, like children who go to "haunted houses" and all that.

.......

Also, I suspect that the writer could just pull the crappy twist ending saying that Elliot was a split personality/internet persona of Mr. Bear.
