Amber hasn't been on the podcast for like 2 years and the first thing she has to say is "we're a family and you're not in it". I don't understand how a grown ass adult can be so petty and spiteful, especially in a horrible circumstance like this

We really don't know much about their situation as a whole. For all we know, Amber wanted out of the spotlight and still works on the show in the background.

For how many people who have a parasocial relationship with their favorite podcasters, I feel like that harsh message is necessary. Regardless of how much we hear from Amber, she's probably still closer to them than any listener could hope to be. To them there is a clear line between their friends and family and weirdos who listen. Sure Amber is mean, but she's also right. Anyone learning about Matt's condition from the fucking soundcloud is probably not in that family.

This bot is a demon during these times.
