I watched the whole thing, and I felt sad about the death metal guy.

Have you watched “Don’t F$&* With Cats”? It’s all about these crazy, obsessed web sleuths that actually helped catch a killer. It was insane.Completely agree. This guy had proof he wasn't even in the country and it didn't matter. The keyboard sleuths picked him as the killer and subsequently brought him down personally and professionally. Terrible. Just terrible. And zero consequences ... not even one apology. So irritating.
I am sick of the internet becoming the judge, jury, and executioner. Sure, you can have an opinion, but ruining people even though you have no proof you just find him and his music weird?
The sad thing is we know this isn't a one and done situation. I love the internet, but I hate stuff like this. This kind of stuff needs to stop.

Agree on all counts. They really think they are owed something. That guy who “researched” for hours was just a know it all. And the other guy who had someone put their hand on her grave so he could have closure was so wrong.I found the series interesting. It goes without saying that what happened to Elisa Lam is tragic but I was disturbed by the level of obsession from the 'Internet sleuths'. Many seemed to feel entitled to every private detail of this case and the victim's life, as if she belonged to them in the same way a fictional character might. The way some of them set out to make themselves part of the story is incredibly unsettling.
One of the YT guys did make me laugh when he disagreed with the police findings. "I've spent hours and hours looking into this" as if this is anyway comparable to an actual investigation. I know the police can and do get it wrong but this made me laugh out loud.
I know there's been good work done when it comes to 'amateur' investigations in the past but I didn't see any signs of that here, just a portrayal of what seemed to be unhealthy fixation on a young woman who died in tragic circumstances.
The musician's part of this story is every bit as tragic.
Lol so agree. He used to just be obnoxious. Now I don’t have words. I stopped watching when it turned into the demon/possession show.Not at all. They've gotten so much worse. Zak ,especially, thinks everything is either caused by a spirit or a demon. (My son loves the show.)

I just finished watching this. I do believe the theory is accidental death is logical. But I also feel so bad for the musician. His videos made my skin crawl, but what was done to him was just awful. I think that and the insane internet sleuths are almost the actual center of the story.
