It just felt like the change kicked in around the time it blew up big on tumblr. I can blame tumblr for whatever I feel like though even if it was always the original intent to switch things to a romcom laid over the Twilight Zone.

Why?

I stopped listening to it then too but I'm not a dipshit who gets mad at fan girls.

I listened to episode one on the way home. Is the narrator Dana?

And yeah rereading what I posted I sound like a gigantic prick. The issue I had with Nightvale isn't the gay relationship it's just that there's a relationship at all. It would be like if Black Tapes suddenly became about an Alex/Strand romance and the tapes were secondary it would turn me off the series and I would check out.

I was being a dick, i get the sentament and its why i stopped listening frequently too

I've tried to listen to Welcome to Nightvale twice and both times I tune out almost immediately because the first episode straight up just sounds like this dude made a bunch of monkeycheese bulletpoints about wacky things and reads them down a list with virtually no cohesion.

I'm assuming they figure out an actual format, but I didn't want to sit through enough of the episodes to find out when, and none of my friends listen to it.

I know it's generally well regarded, so I keep wanting to give it a shot since it must actually get good at some point. Is there a generally acceptable "jumping in" point where a story about the town actually starts, or is it just two years of creepy bullet points?

That's pretty much what it is. Cute creepypasta stuff that has a fandom
