I really wonder what do people get out of making topics like this declaring goodbye? Rather than just simply leaving?
But at least your well reasoned and measured about why your leaving, the site isn’t the same as you viewed it to be, it’s totally fair,
Personally? Given the pandemic shifting them to this work at home format, now that they figured out how to have two people commenting on a video, I like where things are at right now, it’s the core essentials, and if I need a break, I just watch Dan’s streams or just other stuff.
Things change, it happens, adios
This is something I love: despite all the talk about how "everyone and everything's changed," they're still, at their core, the same as they've ever been. Vinny's no longer messing with the tricaster and greenscreen tech, instead he, Abby and Jan are figuring out multi-person remote streaming. Ben's experimenting with weird comedy content (that I really hope comes back once office work is a thing again). Abby's doing new locations and finding how those change things up, Alex is a one-man-band now. So the site's still growing internally, just perhaps not in a way that's as visible (or wild/drunk), and I suppose that's not to everyone's taste.
Making a whole topic about it, seemingly without the want to actually have a discussion following said topic, feels just a step above "They just don't seem like they care anymore," which is usually posted after they're critical of some product, and JUST before another video of Jeff losing his mind over some MK knock-off or a Seaman video he's never seen.
And I'm really not trying to drag the guy or be mocking, this is just the vibe I get when someone posts this as a forum topic (rather than a blog linked to the forum) and then doesn't want to even engage with the final thread? I mean isn't the point of saying goodbye to actually SAY GOODBYE? I get the need for closure, but come on back! Tell us more! Engage with this community you've just spent 10 years with one last time. Or don't, but then I don't see the point of posts like this.
