I have no attachment to brand, but it's wild when this stuff happens out of seemingly nowhere.

Mobilezoid 11/06/23 9:20:43 PM #2:	I still kept up with Zero Punctuation, mostly out of habit at this point. This is kind of surprising though. Youtube often recommends other Escapist videos because I watch ZP, and it looked like they'd been really branching out lately. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D (On mobile) <cite>Mobilezoid posted [p:977075403] in The Escapi...

azuarc 11/06/23 11:01:12 PM #4:	I would not have guessed this was about to happen. I'm not the biggest Escapist fan, but they had just brought Frost on full-time to do Cold Take and Yahtzee seemed to be transitioning into doing something a little different which -- to me -- sounded like it was largely for a better experience on his part. In fact, about the only thing that seemed "negative" was Yahtzee's disclaimer at the beginning of the recent videos where he would call out Youtube for demonetization over swear words. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. <cite>azuarc posted [p:977076954] in The Escapi...

KamikazePotato 11/06/23 11:03:18 PM #5:	To add information: this happened 100% because of new management. They fired an editor/director that everyone liked. Zero Punctuation has still been pretty good. I actually got back into it like a couple months ago!

The boss is also management and has done this many times themselves, and so there's nothing to explain.
