I’ve listened/watched this show nearly every day this 2019. I don’t think I have ever missed out on a single episode, albeit some I watched weeks after their upload. More or less what you get when you listen to this podcast is Reddit stories and a guy giving his opinions on them. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that Dabne (hope I’m spelling that correctly though I’m not sure) really does not give much thought into what he says. What I mean by this is there is a blatant disregard for any real critical thinking in his opinions - and it will obviously rub off on you if you watch his podcast, which is what annoys me. Dabne, take a long hard think at what you say, and whether what you say is truly correct to the greatest possible extent. For example 1. Not blindly trusting what the Redditor says in their posts 2. Not being so quick to judge a person by their actions 3. Being more cognisant of the fact that there is more than one side to the same story. For example, I recall there was one time where two people from the same story posted separately, and their posts were dramatically different even though the events that happened were the same. (This is from your podcast) 4. Please be more open and active in discovering any opinions or stances that may differ from yours. Not sure if this is just a facade for YouTube, but it feels like you just go with the flow and your opinions are what you think will cater to the majority of your audience. One example would be your old (old) videos: largely similar to the ones now, but so much better just because they showcase a fun and entertaining side to your personality. You’ll notice you’ve hardly grown your channel or podcast in the last 4 years. This year has been fair, but realistically most videos are not sponsored and do not attract anywhere near your subscriber count in views. Find a unique reason for people to watch your content. Reddit is so easy to access nowadays, so there needs to be a very good reason for people to watch your videos instead of just being on the app. Other than that, you said in the past that you don’t read stories beforehand but it’s clear you do now, or at least it seems clear. It would be great to return to the way it used to be. And finally, (though this has improved these past 2 or 3 months), be more careful with repeating the same stories. For a while last year and this year it felt like half the stories were just reruns of something you already covered 2/3 years ago. Other than that, I look forward to your growth. But for now, I think I will need to take a pause. At least for a week or two.
