I didn't shoot down the theory. It's full well possible. It's just that people act like it's been proven, instead of being simple speculation.

Aah, I see... my bad then.

After reading many theories and reading the discussions about this video in particular I noticed a sort of trend in relation to the story overall:
Most of us on the forums use "slendysickness", "Possessed", "Marked", and other words with the same synonymous meaning...that the operator has caused you to loose your memory, possibly go insane, cough and other symptoms.

But my theory is that they aren't one in the same. Since Alex got away but was drawn back due to the camera(or the video tape in the camera) it seems that after you are marked there is a chance to get away. If we go off this fact then maybe there are 2 or 3 stages to being possessed by TO:

--Stage 1 is where you are "marked" lose your memory and the like(coughing, fatigue, etc) and eventually you make it to stage 2.

--Stage 2 is where you are pretty much cracked up mentally. This could fuel the idea of multiple TTAs, as in they are trying to break free of TO's influence and posting these videos to help J and Alex is their way of fighting

--Stage 3 you are possessed by the Slender man, simple as that, and maybe that is what happened to Amy, Seth, or other crew members of MH. They are...somewhere(speculation on where is moot by this point because we haven't seen them much)

Maybe people who were less paranoid or simply didn't notice the changes in time got possessed really easily, like Amy or even Jessica. Remember that in the beginning the losses of memory were shorter gaps than 7 months and maybe happened at night when you wouldn't remember anyway. And Alex was able to fight it off because he filmed so much he caught TO in the vids and became more vigilant in monitoring his actions. and now that j is "Marked" he is beginning to go down the same road but Alex wants to stop it from happening to J or anyone else(and save Amy-the saving the princess plot never gets old)

Long post I know but correct me where I'm wrong and and tell me what you think

Yes I think that would be a bit more accurate in what I am trying to describe. I think the point of saying they weren't was to try to make a path of sorts going from one stage to the other and each one had a different term that could apply, mostly because the behavior of the characters doesn't constantly match what we have come to understand as being "marked" or "slendysick"

Maybe that is why in entry 44 Alex is entering into a more "possessed" stage because he thinks that he could save everyone else if he gives To himself.

I'm not completely sold on the theory that Alex is in cahoots/ a double agent. I can see that in some of the recent entries alex isn't exactly doing his best to help but I believe that we'll see why quite soon

I do agree in that I see marked/possessed/slendysickness as the same thing.

The best single word I can think of to describe it is affects. His very existence and proximity is enough to make some very weird and very bad things happen to people.

Just weighing in with an idea, I attempted to trawl through the thread and didn't see anyone mentioning it.

While Slendy is on camera, the light from the lamp appears to dim and then rapidly increases in intensity, culminating with Slendy disappearing from the image.

To me, this seems like the first actually concrete evidence that Slendy, or activities perpetrated by Slendy, have some sort of effect on electromagnetic waves. While this has been speculated at due to distortion on cameras used to record him, this is the first time to my knowledge that Slendy has affected something else making use of electromagnetic waves other than the camera in his immediate environment.

I have to admit, I'm loving the idea that the TTA video links up with this video. I don't believe Jay would have done it unless my belief that he is partially TTA is true.

My favourite theory about the drawings is Alex trying to remember what's happened. Or, writing down things he's hearing in his head possibly. But I think the memory thing works better. If you watch him he's drawing quite intensely. It's not "Oh lets doodle for a bit". It's "I need to get this shit down right now".
