Folks need to go back and watch the 2017 videos if they are still confused about the directional shift in how they approach these talks. Those debates got flat out toxic towards the end and you can tell they all had it being in that room together.
It is absolutely not healthy to have that type of discourse, and I commend the hell out of Jeff for stepping up and making the change.
I'm not saying someone can be upset at how they do it now, but it makes you an absolutely shitty person if you rather them subject themselves to 20 hours of podcasting that is nothing but yelling.
This could have been solved if there were actual rules instead of discussions where it was people trying to wear each other down. Based on Day 4 anyway, it seems like they agreed not to have any arguments that went nowhere at least.
I know that podcasts are inherently the easiest content that they can produce, but I also wonder if trading the 15 hours of recap podcasts for a 2 hour video featuring the entire staff wouldn't have been better use of time. If they're going to rethink everything anyway, there's no reason to have a week of podcasts either if the format itself doesn't work.
