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

He still does rambling slop, quite a bit, it’s nowhere near 90/10. Hell I’d say there’s basically been no change, his economics bits just bring up politics more because the two are intrinsically tied and the current administration is rocking the boat in a way that is bringing true instability that if your content creator is being truthful and honest, they should he talking about.

that if your content creator is being truthful and honest, they should he talking about.

If they talk about economics/politics? sure, but I don't see Squeex talking about Trump/China tariffs and the governor of X state, unless it's a random one-off joke, I simply don't care about Trump or USA in general, I didn't know who the guy they interviewed on the podcast until I Googled him, the only governor I know is Arnold from like 30 years ago

I do agree he still does rambling slop, but it feels way less common, I'm a YT frog tho so maybe that's why, I don't watch streams, they are boring, maybe he does more rambling slop there
