“Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A pair of folks decide they want to make an income from being Content Creators. So they come up
with a premise that should take years to cover (and this lead to years of Patreon money).
At no point do they ask themselves whether it’s a good idea to commit themselves to a weekly podcast covering the same topic for so long. Like every other podcaster, they think themselves immune to burnout, or that the topic in question will never not be engaging.
But eventually reality kicks in. They get burnt out, or in this case, they find a Gundam film that they don’t particularly care for (while also sounding a little burnt out). The quality takes a nosedive, but since they’ve captured an audience (and possibly established parasocial relationships with their Patrons), they’ll continue to coast along for years despite no one really being happy with the output of the show.
The only saving grace is that this time I was able to cut bait and walk away before it got worse.
(Ps - I also find that Tom is way too overbearing, and too often speaks for himself and Nina. I find her observations much more interesting)”
