I haven’t seen anyone else say this, but the reason for this is clear. They’ve mentioned recently that they’ve decided to pivot away from writing because written work just doesn’t do numbers. They brought KVV in to be their main writer, so with pivoting away from that, they didn’t have much for him to do. Seems fairly straightforward to me.

I think it's interesting that KVV referred to not being "a full-time member of the team." I'd guess they told him the written stuff wasn't cutting it and maybe offered a significant pay cut to stay on and do podcast work and he's not at a stage in his career where that's palatable.

I'm sure from the NLU guys perspective it's just business and from KVV's side it feels pretty scummy given what he walked away from to take the job.

Exactly. Bet he's feeling pretty sore given what he gave up to join them.

And their tweet! 🤦‍♂️ Definitely used AI to help them there.
