I think you could chalk it up to a lot of different things
Justin has talked about Rob's advice being bad (which I agree with), he also wasn't really a good manager
varying levels of interest in going full-time, audience size, content diversity, personality fits, etc.

Overall though, it took Rob's attention away from doing projects, which is what he excelled at (and what had a chance of going viral)
and he also stopped trying to grow as a Twitch streamer, which would have been the sound career move at the time
his numbers were great
but it was 1 stream/week, and he flaked out a lot once BufWiz was up and going
his general stream number, like the random Sims stream where he'd get 10k
it's crazy he didn't see that, and try to double down streaming
I think a big part was he really didn't like Twitch as a company, but idk, maybe it was less obvious at the time how lucrative it could have been
though like REgi said, he did shit all to monetize it

Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Totalbiscuit hated him personally
Anyone got more info about this?
Random person who has been here since August asking Spooky for lore is funny
I have watched that podcast leg
years ago
Lmfao
I looked at your message history @Gsx , you were here in 2022, left as some point, came back but never talked so we did not revet you
You can be revetted I guess since you talked before
Replying to Gsx #gsx0 Anyone got more info about this?
It was borne out of confusion with TB confusing Rob with Danny Vorhez (Rob's partner for the Unforgotten Realms cartoon) I believe TB reached out regarding a WoW collab and (since Rob and Danny had broken up at that point) it was a disjointed mess and TB wrote them off.
Rob was into starcraft during the same time TotalBiscuit ran his team Axiom, and they ended up clearing the air at some point via fans donating during some random Polaris podcast episode.
I'm forgetting the exact piece of what the TB collab/project was, it'll come to me at some point.
Rob was trying to get into SC2 casting at one point, and was getting blackballed by TB which was when TB talked about this
