History YMMV / TrueCapitalist

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny:
** The Internet Buttstalker was the first troll and the TropeMaker for many popular methods of making Ghost rage. These methods have been used so often now (and have been given so many variations) that the Buttstalker, if he started calling in 2018, would appear to be a boring FollowTheLeader fail troll. Spermy the Cat qualifies as well.
** Ghost [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] this when someone played "WesternAnimation/GrandmaGotRunOverByAReindeer" on his show, and he asked if the caller was some 42-year-old man who still thought that was risque.
** The June 17, 2011 episode (which pretty much exposed TCR to the wider world and was often held up as a prime example of trolling) gets this reaction today: hindsight has pretty much painted the episode as being chock-full of failtrolls and badly dated memes (to say nothing of hearing "Fuck You Texas" for the umpteenth time). In contrast to the more elaborate personalities and generally higher amounts of effort put into riling Ghost up, both pre-June and post-October of that year, the summer of 2011 can essentially be seen as one long BizarroEpisode. The fact that certain trolls such as The Internet Buttstalker [[NewbieBoom essentially got shafted by the flood of new callers]] only adds to current opinion.

** Twilie Atkins, while she is considered a good troll by most of the brony community, she is hated by a large majority of the non-brony listeners because majority of her splices are brony related. Even Ghost came to view her as both annoying and a potential sexual predator after she worked with [=MaskedPony=] on some splices for the show.

* BrokenBase: How monetized the show and its community has become ever since "The Ghost Show" era began. Ghost started to accept donations in return for text-to-speech messages and audio clips to be played automatically on-stream, along with video link donations that Ghost would watch for the viewers. This quickly became controversial, and drove a divide between traditional trolls and newer viewers who were willing to throw their money around[[note]]The term "paypigs" is sometimes used by the former to refer to the latter[[/note]]. The former find the increased monetization irritating, as not only does it flood the stream with loud music clips (before Ghost discontinued them) and text-to-speech messages (which, while considered funny, would play frequently and interrupt whatever Ghost was saying, often sidetracking him from an entertaining rant or interesting topic), but it would also result in a massive backlog of video donations, the sheer volume eating up runtime and turning the stream into "Ghost reacts" most of the time. In fact, they would pile up to the point of not only leaving no time for Radio Graffiti, but also causing the stream to drag on for 8+ hours, which was not agreeable to viewers on weekday evenings and was often overwhelming. Newer viewers who troll through donations often accuse the opposition of being poor and lazy, along with being stuck in the past, seeing the video reactions as a worthy successor of the old formula. Alongside this, some see Radio Graffiti as obsolete and way less funny than it used to be, as most of the Remix/Splice and Voice Trolling/Persona talent has long since moved on[[note]]with only Tub Guy (who only trolls on and off) and Xarahox (who's a serious musician) remaining close to the TCR community[[/note]] while the video donations continue to bring in laughs and good reactions. Not helping is Ghost's monetization of his community, requiring a $300 purchase to enter his Inner Circle, where one can easily be evicted if another user pays Ghost enough thanks to the frequent community drama (though this often tends to happen to [[TheScrappy community scrappies]] and not typically average users).

** Averted, since Ghost has been back for nearly a year now.

* LGBTFanbase: For reasons that nobody really comprehends, the show has attracted a large proportion of transgender listeners. this is often Lampshaded by Ghost in the show and he holds the belief that many of them come listen to the show because they are attracted to the "Manly Dominance" he keeps throwing around in the show. Ghost on the other hand [[PetTheDog has become much more tolerant of transgender people]] after getting a chance to personally talk with some of these fans.

* WinBackTheCrowd: ''The Ghost Show'', which started during New Years Eve to 2019, in which he appeared far more collected and calm. He promised to dial back on political rants and bring back more fun and interactivity to the show.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: In his February 26, 2018 appearance, [[FunnyForeigner Mr. Fort]][[TalkingToHimself une Cookie]] is complaining about Americans criticizing the Chinese government, and rebukes: "China has been going a long time! The communist government is going a long time! And we will continue to go a long time!" In fact, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China#History China is one of the oldest existing nations on Earth]], and [[ChinaTakesOverTheWorld remains one of the most powerful nations to this day]]. Even with the government's controversial actions regarding human rights and diplomacy, there's no denying that the nation has millennia worth of political experience, and at the very least knows what to do to preserve itself.

Ghost on the other hand [[PetTheDog has become much more tolerant of transgender people]] after getting a chance to personally talk with some of these fans.

** There are also claims that The Engineer isn't an actual person and is simply Ghost using some ventriloquism to fool people, mostly because The Engineer's [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible babbling]] sounds suspiciously like one of Ghost's mocking voices, and neither of the two make any attempt to clarify things when asked. Ghost usually tells the caller off or The Engineer babbles from his faraway position and makes no attempt to get closer to clarify things.
*** Notably, Ghost and The Engineer never speak at the same time.
