true!

and as for luck/timing the tldr;tldr is just that Rob; over the course of the 15 years he spent monetizing his projects online, would constantly reach these decision points of how to proceed, and would pick the wrong option It's happened a tragically large number of times, which is frankly absurd bad luck. Had any one of those turned out differently, I think Rob would have been wildly successful, far greater than the peaks he did reach

His downfall was caused by increasing and unchecked drug use, full stop.

whatever latent mental issues he had were exacerbated by that

That's the one decision (or I guess many small decisions of the course of years) that undid him

So if anything, blame Pause! Kappa

Thank you Spooky. I always enjoy your infodumps

yes, thanks for the info

and pika said it wouldnt pass the chess video. all we needed to do was have someone randomly post it on etho's reddit

Now post it on rawbs reddit

It doesn't count until the video is swapped on his popular tab

Glad my internets back, I'll catch up on all this

the most important post I missed while no internet

based

All the comments in Ethos sub of "who the fuck is rob" is funny

etho was on DvZ a couple times

they should know

I think most of Ethos fans at this point will be a post mindcrack group

because thats just how fanbase growth works

Radical heights fans stay loosing

I wonder if all the attention will boost his stream numbers tonight

(assuming he streams)

lets go, time to youtube mog vinny for real

These are not difficult numbers to beat

I wholeheartedly agree that you will

I already almost am beating your vods channel

lol

We will let vinny post the next guude rant

Everyone gets a turn

Polu can post it so Pix will see it

Post the Rob documentary on the team phijkchu channel Kapp

the three bumps are pretty funny

r/mindcrack, whats his name here posting it on youtube drama is the smaller one, then etho is the almost vertical one

ethos reddit is a lot bigger than the mindcrack one right?

the post on ethos already has more upvotes than the mindcrack one

so yes

also 112 comments

Etho is still actually a big youtuber

everyone else involved is mostly forgotten

i see a lot of people who dont follow guude at all just still running with the old narrative of "guude is greedy" or what have you

in that reddit

My position (I stated this when I first published the video) is guude made a lot of really stupid choices

many spurred on by people doing stupid shit

but he did make bad calls

sure but hes not malicious or sociopathic like people want to make him out ot be

its not like rob, or i guess gennyB who i am inclined to believe is a bad guy based on how he isnt allowed in hermitcraft

by people who actually know him

I think if someone was mad/sad that Mindcrack fell apart, Guude is at fault for that

and; like a lot of things, dumb decisions are usually knowably dumb at the time, and it frustrates people to watch a public tranwreck happen when average people can come up with better courses of action

If nothing else, Guude made the choice to never talk about anything that happened

leaving people to just speculate

idk if this is an engineering/scientific approach or an above 80IQ approach or what.... but like....

just run ideas past more than one person before just doing it

wisdom of the crowd, or even just "hey friend, is this dumb or not"

that's why people try to character assassinate Guude I think, from the outside it makes it seem like he thought he knew best and was going to force everyone into his mold

and like Pika said, going radio silent after things failed makes it seem like it's even more your own hubris that caused it

like i said i dont deny he made mistakes but nothing he was was anything but good intentioned with consequences he just didnt see

I dont think the contracts were bad, he wanted to protect the brand and people in the group signed on seemingly with no issue other than Etho who didnt want to put his name down, or the people who the contract would actually constrict

like genny

Oh I agree, I just think it's hard to see that from the outside

but it got spun bad

especially for people who weren't Guude's direct fans

and i think guude was maybe too nice or reserved to want to say anything. maybe he thought it would make it worse

Rob also did a good job seeming like the reasonable person publically when all of this happened

I remember reading his posts on the matter

yeah

It was years later that I flipped

because Guudes optics at the time S U C K E D

just like they did with the EULA a couple years earlier

Guude wa slike the only mindcracker i actually watched though so i may be slightly biased, but i havent seen any reason to believe guude ever did anything but make honest mistakes with good intentions

I need beef or pyro to weigh in so I can have bias

those were #mymindcrack

Meanwhile i cant think of rob as anything but a bad person now especially after how he treated Justin and Megan

Dialga, if you fucked up majorly, the small amount I know about you, I probably wouldn't it to malice Guude just didn't do himself any favors with how he packaged/presented everything that was happening to the public
