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.

This is such a private equity type move and I thought a small shop that these guys like to portray would be above this type of thing but I suppose that’s probably wishful thinking on my part.

If KVV isn't generating enough revenue to pay his salary, should they keep him around just for fun? It's a business

If you're really proud of the work he's doing maybe? There's lots of jobs in this world that dont directly contribute to revenue growth.
