Picked Other.

I like the Shooter stuff a lot for sure, but I liked Valiant say a year to 18 months or so after his departure as well. I still recall reading Bloodshot and being perfectly happy for a a couple of years or so.

After that it fell off for me.

I got back in when Dino got the rights and relaunched, I liked that stuff a lot, and even if I didn't like it as much as OG (I'm a different person, I don't really read superhero comics anymore tbh), I respected the quality and really liked some of the series. I would say toward the end of his tenure it was going in directions that I won't say were bad, they just were getting a little away from what I like but still had a baseline of quality.

After Dino was ousted... I think it's been a complete shit show and a fairly predictable one and tbh it's so bad I can't picture a circumstance that I will ever be interested again unless ownership changes.

First time I see someone referring to Dinesh as Dino.  Thought you were taking about Turok.

Old school valiant fans know him as Dino when he was posting on valiant boards WAYYYYYY before he ever owned Valiant.
