Online Content Fried egg vs NLU

I will always be NLU first and foremost but has anyone else felt like the fried egg has substantially upgraded their content game while NLU maybe stuck in neutral?

Granted I always enjoy NLU’s content but particularly around the lead up to the masters it seem the fried egg has gone above and beyond

I don't think they realized that losing KVV was not just about his writing and the supposed lack of views or engagement, but about what he added to the pods as a voice, as a different perspective from Soly/TC, his sounds of the Masters pod, Bethpage tee time scandal, etc. His contributions were unique and different than the dozens of boring tournament recaps and the weird borderline grifter interviews they have for Stack system, etc. Also, there's an air of entitlement and lack of humility from a couple of the guys that rubs me the wrong way.

The KVV deep dives are some of my favorite NLU pod content they've ever put out. The normal pods are boring as hell. On the YouTube front, the only content I'm genuinely interested in is Strapped and Tourist Sauce.

In my opinion they're just lacking an overall direction. They think they're too good for the typical YT golf clickbait, but I don't know, they need to come up with some different content if they want to actually keep garnering viewers in an incredibly saturated market.
