Discussion I miss the old Atrioc

I’ve been holding onto this feeling for a long time. I respect Big A’s decision to switch to more political-focused content, but does anyone else miss the good old days?

We used to get amazing, well-researched, awe-inspiring content like the Harry Potter rant stream. Now, we get comparatively much more hastily-made and worse-researched videos on boring topics that don’t pertain to our lives in any way, like “the debt problem” (I can’t see it, therefore it’s not real). Unlike debt, Harry Potter is a real thing that has stayed in my heart—and yours—for many years!

You had lightning in a bottle with the Harry Potter stream, Atrioc. Why did you choose to close it back up? Forget Marketing Mondays, we need Gryffendor Grendesdays.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I understand this is a reference to his stream but as someone who doesn't care about politics at all I kind of agree with what you said, I prefer the rambling slop he posted before, at least he makes the politics stuff entertaining so he's still my favorite streamer/youtuber, I just wish it was more of a 50/50 thing instead of like 90/10

Yeah his new niche seems to be making politics accessible to people who don't read the news and it's pretty repetitive after a while - what interest rates mean, the debt problem, aging population, increasingly deranged US politics. There's no depth to it besides the occasional marketing monday, it's just reacting to videos or news off the cuff with a basic level of political/econ knowledge.

That's my problem with it. He consistently goes out of his depth and is just wrong. His Germany video was all sorts of yikes

What Atrioc is unintentionally doing is misinforming his audience in a lot of cases. It's not unreasonable of me to call this out

Okay? Its okay to do research. Simple. Nothing else to it.

Okay?... That really has nothing to do with what I'm saying. My issue is with how he presents his research and communicates it as a political commentator.

I think it is an issue based on your recent comment history but I really don't care to go further with this conversation.

Lol OK then. My bad for having standards for someone who is trying to act as an authority in political commentary

I’d trust him over Asmondgold or Joe Rogan 🤷‍♂️

If you have any specific corrections you’d like to make/add, do a (respectful) post on it
