But he already burned a lot of good will by doing it so glib. For example, I don’t click “like” on his videos anymore, and I’m not subscribing to his paid director’s commentary. It only applies to Grey, we all know it’s not Brady’s fault.
They stopped it right when the pandemic hit. That messed up podcast advertising for a while, and also the usual stuff they talked about.
Meanwhile they both have other projects and may have decided their time or energy was better spent elsewhere. Who knows?
A little unusual not to say anything but hey, they end episodes without goodbye so not a giant surprise. And Brady has said they’re on a break and on good terms so it isn’t totally secret either.
I enjoyed it while it was around and wish them well, but I don’t think they owe us anything. I subbed to Goodbye Internet to give a small incentive to them restarting, and that’s it.
But to my larger point, it is still an asset. If the community atrophies 40% while they’re gone...it’s still 60% of a great asset.
