And I also started approaching YouTube relationships EXTREMELY cautiously. I lost a little faith in YouTube and humanity after that incident. It was only in 2014 when all Hell broke loose on Tumblr and people started posting their stories about their relationships in this weird, interconnected love spiderweb of YouTubers making me realize I didn’t want to know THAT much about their lives. Eventually, they broke up and it was quiet so I just kind of lost interest suspecting it happened before they ever made it obviously public. I thought they were both incredibly talented people and it entertained me to watch and comment on their relationship through the Interwebs.
