He has lost his way…
I remember when this podcast was THE podcast to listen to each week or every other week. Today I’ve officially unsubscribed. Gruber just doesn’t seem to care anymore, and/or is perfectly comfortable with putting in as little effort as possible. And it amazes me that, from an outsider looking in, it appears his business and influence continues to hold strong, even when he clearly has been phoning it in for years. Say what you want about Rene Ritchie, but that man deserves all of the success that comes his way. He works hard. And I recognize that I’m not a paying customer, but if I’m giving my time and my following, I choose to follow people that still care.
