    Friends, I know a theory about the “SpongeBob guy” Alex Bale seems like it belongs more on Film Theory, right? WRONG! Today I’m exposing the secrets behind this Alex Bale and the Muse ARG, PLUS how it all comes back to a place you all know and love… Happy Meat Farms. Maybe hold off on eating that burger until AFTER the theory. Just a suggestion…

    (Spoilers maybe?) What I enjoy most about this ARG is actually the commentary of what it takes to be successful as an internet creator. How forsaking your passion and pandering to your audience to get views can turn you into someone you don't recognize, maybe even something alien and monstrous. I feel like the Muse can be seen as a metaphor for selling out, and the conflict between Alex and his Muse can be seen as an internal struggle between his need to make a living and his pride as an artist. I love the horror elements, but the personal narrative of this shouldn't be overlooked.

    Sincerely this ARG’s story is brilliant. Stories about creatives being forced into doing a type of content they no longer are invested in aren’t new, but part of what makes this story so effective is the fact that the videos influenced by the Muses are extremely popular, even getting Millions of views, but videos the creator actually wants to make (like Alex’s short horror film between Theory 4 and Theory 5) are much less popular. They are using the systems they’re criticizing to further the message of the story by providing explicit proof of what they’re trying to say. It’s really, really smart and was also a bit of a gamble. Both for Alex doing something that might alienate his existing audience (for a couple of theories before the story elements were properly introduced), but also gambling that his horror film wouldn’t, for some reason, take off in a crazy way like the Spongebob theories. He clearly has solid understanding of how UA-cam’s algorithm works.

    From the latest Alex Bale vid, it turns out that the clones ARE the Muses. It seems that these muses are shapeshifters. So if the Muses are Mother's children, and these Muses are shapeshifters, it's also possible that Mother itself is a shapeshifter. Perhaps, maybe Mother is the clone of Ramona Bynes herself?

    Ok something I haven’t seen anyone point out is just how the SpongeBob-Theory’s content are reflective of the actual Muse ARG
    *Spoilers*
    In the Evolution Theory, Alex comes to the conclusion that Pearl’s mother is the secret ingredient to the Krabby Patty and that parts of her are being sold to customers, just like the ACTUAL Mother at Happy Meat Farms.
    Past that there’s the obvious Robot and/or jellyfish clones being the parallel for the Muse-Clones and just the theory’s general obsession with Aliens being the answer for everything.
    What I’m asking is how far does this go? Can we uncover more from looking at the SpongeBob Theories under this light?
    I mean the Puff Theory ends with the conclusion that there’s this big conspiracy to break Mrs Puff’s spirit specifically.
