I've had a thought for a few days now:
Because this whole game is a beta-in-progress, wouldn't it make more sense to allow everyone access to the newer betas?

There's bugs and glitches that even the selected beta testers might not pick up on that any regular player could, and by the time you release 2.1 you're just going to have that feedback hit you in a massive pile; Especially with more people joining in to play. With more people playing that's more videos that could be made to advertise the game as well. 

But also, there's an awkward pause for normal players vs beta testers who have made videos on the game like Gamers Nation in terms of the new gamemodes. The beta testers have showcased the Yangire mode in full, shown all the possible endings and have even made speedrun videos with all the freetime before the official 2.1 release. Specifically with speedrunning, the beta testers have the highest advantage in getting low times since they can spend the longest time figuring out techniques; And by the time any other player can play, the speedrun times are gonna be impossible to beat.

ya tbh it probably wasnt the best idea to let the beta testers show the entirety of the next update, not only dose it make fans bug the fek out of the dev to release the update but it also spoils everything for people.

it could be better to just keep doing updates how they were. as in small er, public updates.

I have to agree. From what I could find, the beta version came out to beta testers a whole month ago (if not more, it takes time to record and upload videos). New videos ("first time playing new version" runs, speedruns, glitch videos etc.) of the beta version are being uploaded pretty much every day now. There are so many different thumbnails and titles now that the features are basically spoiled, which kinda ruins the horror aspect a little (for me at least). It's a VERY awkward pause at this point if you ask me.

Not hating on anyone though. I also know I'm not the developer or anything. I'm just a big fan of the game.
