I'm not not interested. Like, I still keep up with news. In that sense, I'm still invested, but I can't deny I find myself more invested in the older stuff. Returning to older content in the franchise fills me with ⁠(as Mr. Steele would put it) a "nostalgic glee." Lampooning the series for its faults and praising it for its highlights are all in good fun. However.

I absolutely do not want to be an adult complaining about kids content online. I've come to realized that the target demographic for Goosebumps is getting younger, and I'm getting older. (I would certainly appreciate Scholastic pandering to me. *Ahem.* Dropping Series 2000 merch to celebrate 20 years of "The New Millennium of Fear!" But that's not realistic.)

Scholastic (and Sony) are doing their thing, and it's probably making some people very happy. I'll readily admit that ⁠— every now and then ⁠— a new entry surprises me, but returning to the old stuff is what makes me happy.
