I admit it annoyed me when they talked shit on the subreddit, I ended up cancelling my patreon subscription and I haven't listened to the podcast since. Yea the chapo subreddit was really stupid sometimes, but I was just starting to feel like the Chapo hosts thought they were better/smarter than their own fans and other leftists in general.
This was around the time they did that dogshit episode about BLM protests where they complained about people wanting to tear down confederate statues because they were doing things "in the wrong order" or whatever the fuck. So them gloating about the subreddit getting banned was the final nail in the coffin for me.
Like, the Chapo hosts have the gall to complain about how leftists are stupid and out of touch with reality (this was a common theme on the show at the time) when they make six figures doing podcasts for a living. Fuck em.
I feel like there’s a notable group on this site (ironically seeing where we came from) who seem to think of podcasts as almost an illegitimate form of entertainment? And therefor creating podcasts is not labor and paying people to create them is by definition a grift.
But it’s not like any leftist podcasters are claiming that by giving them money youre somehow supporting the leftist cause. It’s pretty clearly a relationship of “You enjoy the entertainment product we produce, if you pay us we can continue to live and produce more entertainment, and you will also get access to an additional hour of entertainment every week.” Paying people to perform labor to produce something for you to consume and enjoy isn’t a grift, it’s like, society.
I may be overthinking this, I just feel like I see a lot of comments on here that are just “anti-podcast” in general. Like, man I just want something interesting or funny to listen to while I do my job
I don’t pay for Chapo anymore but I pay for a few podcasts. I just listen to a lot of podcasts and I’m willing to pay for more of the entertainment product I like, like anything else 🤷♂️
Most are $5 a month so like $1.25 per hour long episode, pretty decent time to value for me tbh

I remember that episode and I stopped listening for a few months. I still don't listen to them frequently enough to care.
Making fun of redditors is deserved. But the alternative is being on twitter, which suchs so much ass. I used to see REBr0 trying to be funny on his twitter account; basically everyone wants to be dril but they can't pull off being funny and gross at the same time.
as someone who cancelled at the same time but kept listening black wolf, you haven't really missed that much. some funny moments but Matt's solo content is better
bonus: Will is still malding and brings up the sub to shit on it every couple of months

I have to assume a lot of it is zoomers who didn't grow up seeking out the most toxic online environments of the mid-aughts, and thus never internalized "U MAD U LOSE". Can't really fault, since the time I spent in those places probably did more harm than good in the long run.
It astonishes me more and more as time goes on that people were unironically mad about the hosts talking shit about the subreddit.
It was on reddit, for god's sake!

If you've ever paid for music or to see a movie, same shit.

People literally repost tweets here for content. Without twitter, half of the site's posts would be gone.
