The only problem is that WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD, and so it turns out, the whole enterprise was being run by a guy who not only didn't actually care about the show, b...

Fan groups formed, the bullying started, and the doxing, of course. And thennnnnnn William made a bunch of questionable choices. And we're ...
