Yes, those elements have been present basically from the offset,, but when I say he's leaned far more into them, I mean a while hell of a lot more. For example, he's shifter from slagging off specific companies/practices to just outright slagging off capitalism in general, which is a harder sell. And on a social level, while I agree with his stance that games/stories are inherently political, as its basically impossible to avoid, his relating absolutely everything to modern political issues, at every turn, is also a harder sell than what he did before. And that's gonna alienate some folks. This is the big thing for me, and why I unsubbed from his channel maybe 4 or 5 months ago. I never minded his critical analysis of industry, and for a while he was a sort of Youtube Jason Schreier. After a while though, it became way too repetitive. I could tell within the first 20 seconds what the full content of his video was going to be and I started skipping more and more videos until I realized I wasn't actually looking forward to a new upload so I just dropped him entirely. I can sympathize with him over the fact that his other videos (shitty game reviews, digging through greenlight, trailer reactions, and actual game reviews) got bombed by the algorithm, and I'm sure his recent shift is good for his channel in terms of long-term growth. It's just not why I started watching him in the first place. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
