It does give me a bit of concern that we're nearing the endgame of Steeplechase, and I don't like that one bit.
I want another year of silly heists with these lads in this world.

I think it's way more likely Justin is just getting a bit bored and antsy with that gimmick and wants to end it now before it outstays its welcome, rather than the whole arc is nearing its end.

Yes I know he hasn't done this with that one MBMBAM segment but as a general rule in TAZ he's good at moving on from things at a decent clip.

I always took "artist owned" to mean that the Podcasters all retained ownership to their IP, unlike some networks where if the hosts leave a show they can just be replaced

I attend fighting game tournaments in New York City. Shortly before lockdown, Nick Robinson made an appearance at my local tournament in order to cheer on a friend (a member of Anamanaguchi). I informed the tournament organizers about his history of predatory behavior and he was removed, and he was very angry and talking about how it was all bullshit.

This is an extremely fuckin weird thing to do.

Basically it meant that podcast hosts would retain full ownership of their podcasts even if they decided to leave Max Fun. Which sounds silly when put that way but there are a lot of podcast production companies where that's not the case. For instance, when Dr. Gameshow left Earwolf and moved to Max Fun, they couldn't bring their episodes hosted on Earwolf with them and thus those eps were trapped behind the Earwolf paywall.

A worker owned cooperative is a specific legally defined type of organization, just like a 501c3 or an S-corp or an LLC or something.

Both. A lot of people just know Nick as a "YouTuber" not "disgraced polygon employee fired for sexual harassment"

Others simply do not care

In the video I saw they basically said they'd elect board members and the board members make the decisions of the company. Greater profit sharing opportunities.

It's actually unclear to me if this means anything for the actual podcasters. The video seemed like it was Jesse's office staff. Still, good on them.
