Pravado brings a good point here.

The twitter account is also a good resource to see what paranoia Jay's been through.

I don't think TTA is only for hardcore fans. It's a pretty major part of the series.

At times yes, (ex. Deluge or Memories), but these have some significant revelations/contributions:

Exit shows that TTA has been watching since the filming of MH.

Addition shows that TTA was there during Entry #16.

Return confirmed the events of the missing three hours from Entry #19.

Version persuades Jay to go back to the red tower.

Forecast shows that it was TTA in Entry #39.

Intermission shows that TTA was there during the events of Entry #41.

Reminder shows that TTA was there for the events of Entry #53.

observation shows that TTA has been filming and stalking Tim since around the events of Entry #60.5.

Display shows that TTA was there for the events of Entry #63. (The alleyway that is present in the entry is in the video, and I think the person walking is Tim)

Additionally, Entry #60.5 shows that TTA was there for the events of Entry #59.

We have talked about this multiple times. Troy has said in an interview or in one of the Q&A's he's done that the series is designed so that you can watch the main youtube channel and NOTHING else and still get the story. That is why all the shit that is said over twitter or that Jay acknowledges about TTA is reiterated in the videos on the main channel. This is why it was important for Tim to confirm his past on camera in the main channel.

You think that all those TTA videos further the story, even though it doesn't, because you are one of the hardcore fans.

I didn't necessarly say that it furthers the story, it just builds up the story. It gives us some additional information. I just think that the TTA videos are good part of the story. I'm not saying that we can predict the future exactly from his/her/their videos, but TTA videos are pretty important in their own ways.

I understand that some don't watch the TTA videos and I have noticed that Troy doesn't mention the channel when he makes Jay's monologues, but it IS still part of the story. The twitter account just adds to the realistic vibe.

What people fail to understand is that criticism is a GOOD thing for ANYTHING. It doesn't matter whether or not it's "free," people have a right to criticize, and it helps the creators improve their work. The fact that people flame others for constructively criticizing the series is just ridiculous to me, especially since Troy has said himself that he's grateful for all positive AND negative feedback.

I criticized the Tribe Twelve/Dark Harvest crossover as CONSTRUCTIVELY as I could some time ago, and a bunch of rabid Tribe Twelve fanboys jumped at my throat saying my standards were "impossibly high" and that I had "douchebag expectations for free entertainment." It was then that I realized how immature a lot of people on this site are (mostly those who frequent the Tribe Twelve thread). It annoys me. JUST LET US CRITICIZE, FFS. CRITICISM IS A GOOD thing. It DOESN'T mean we hate the series; we just want to see the series improve, and we have no quarrel with you. We respect your opinions, even if we don't agree with them. Why can't people understand that?

I've never been truly disappointed in this series (or any of the other slendervlogs I like, really) and I'm not quick to criticize things I already have high standards for unless something really bothers me, but if people have criticism to give, I'll let them give it without getting defensive. I find that the criticism that people give on here is usually valid, even if I don't agree with it, and they say these things because they want it to improve.

Remember, constructive criticism can indeed be a good thing, but only if you take into account the constraints the creators work under. Sure, it's OK to criticize the product... go right ahead.

But I would like to note the creators are VERY WELL AWARE that no-one likes long wait times and that it breaks the rhythm of the story; that they do keep up roughly updated OOG as to when expect each episode and, if they are late, WHY they are late. If they were able to keep it to a more regular schedule, I am sure they would. To keep going on and on about long wait times and call that "criticism" and claim it's helpful... I don't see it.
