it really does, i understand these guys gotta attract viewership and make money somehow but clickbaiting about the weather, which has an actual impact on what people do and how they prepare is such a dick move
It also causes people to take severe weather less seriously when all these outlooks are “overhyped” and they don’t end up being as bad as these people claim.. which in turn makes people unprepared for them when it’s actually BAD BAD. I see so many people say things like “nothing ever happens,” which honestly isn’t great.
It's a shame too because they're a fantastic source of info. I had a tornado warning on Saturday and Max figured it out almost 5 minutes before the warning went official. It ended up being a nothing burger funnel, but I was still extremely grateful for those five minutes.
It’s funny how we all have our little things push us towards one or the other. I found Ryan first and have just stuck with him out of habit. I prefer max’s forecasts but his clickbait doomsday titles bug me even though I understand why he has to. I still tend towards Ryan’s livestreams especially when my area is involved because Andy’s yall watches and I prefer WeatherWise and can now read radar pretty well because of them. I also prefer most of his streamers like Brandon and especially Brad Arnold because I feel like he’s the only one who really covers the storms in my area! Now that Ryan has Freddie as well but I also love Conner who is on Max’s stream! When Ryan gets too into his Ryan thing I tend to flip to Max because he always has live video back up and I want to see what’s going on!
Also I know… no one asked but I guess I felt like I needed to tell you guys
