I disagree and think they only said that the fans changed the storyline to say they are using fan input. The secret society cult thing has been the secondary storyline - Bree and Daniel's relationship was the primary.
Do you have any facts to back up your suspicion?
The videos themselves.
What
specifically in the videos leads you to believe that "they only said that the fans changed the storyline to say they are using fan input"?

Personally, I give people the benefit of the doubt, and assume they're telling the truth unless I have specific facts indicating otherwise.
AFAIK, before the creators were found, nobody ever explicitly claimed that Bree was a real girl telling a real story -- when the issue came up, people were just mysteriously silent about it. If you have any facts that indicate otherwise, I'd like to know about them.

I never claimed there was any other fan involvement or that any fans have been paid for their work. (In fact, I was one of the people who pointed out in the t-shirt thread that getting a t-shirt was pretty paltry compensation for coming up with a design.) All I did was point out that the story has
not been a romance between Bree and Daniel from the very start (as you claimed), and that the creators say they inserted the romance aspect because of fan input.
And yes, I do have facts from the videos to back up the creators' statements. Daniel is mentioned in
the second video, but there's no indication of a romantic involvement. In
the third video, Bree is already talking about being homeschooled, and about cannibalism and Pluto. In
the fourth video, Daniel is first seen, but there are no intimations of romance.
The fifth video is the Grillz video.
The sixth video includes the first explicit mention of Bree's religion. Again, though, there's no indication of a romance between Bree and Daniel; in fact, her talking about him not "being allowed to come over anymore" sounds more like a kid upset that her playdate has been cancelled than a smitten girl upset that she can't see her boyfriend.
I'm willing to consider theories and ideas that have specific evidence to back them up. Without specific evidence, I'm not buying it.
