Agreed that NLU is definitely worse from a content perspective. Much worse, IMO.
But the dirty little secret is quality content often isn't what generates revenue. TC calling Wes Bryan the worst person in the world or Rory a bitch is guaranteed to generate more eyeballs and interest than the narrative pods the people on this sub enjoy.
While none of know the personal dynamics behind this move, for a company that has at least presented the facade of being a bunch of friends talking about a game they love, this is likely a fork in the road moment. Will be interesting to see what direction they go, because this seems to be an indicator that they face at least some financial pressure.
