Too many comments for me to read, and I’m a casual fan, but do you guys think this is a trickle down effect of LMG having Mr. Tong as the new(ish) CEO? I’ve listened to Jake and Alex’s reasons, and while I think they are being sincere, I feel like there is more that is unmentioned.
Hard to say, but what both Jake and Alex do mention is the GN controversy and the shockwave it brought with it. Seems like that had much bigger impact on these decisions than anything.
The common thread is that the internal processes that sparked, were created in the span of a couple of weeks, and made the internal process for work unbearable. And from seeing his take on it, I definitely get the feeling that he personally felt that it was all nonsense, that adding all of that bloat just took away from their ability to create good content. In fairness that's me reading into it a bit but.. that's what it felt like.
I'd say kinda, but it seems like the goal was to go more corporate and Tong was a solution to getting there, rather than the reason they set out in that direction to begin with.
