[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9241982, member: 9053"] Okay, time to discuss. I'm commenting on this because I see a ton of incorrect information about a source I enjoy, but have also learned something from. A lot of somethings. I came across Roll for Combat when they had a couple hundred subscribers. I was looking to learn PF2 and they did actual plays of game sessions. Since then, I've enjoyed a lot from the show and learned a lot from what they've discussed. And you wrote "they are disseminating false information." Okay, what is false? I have also read Popehat for years and years and I am confident that information that you don't like or don't agree with isn't necessarily false. So care to share some false information? I can recall many articles he's written criticizing people in politics that we don't talk about about here for doing exactly that. So they broke the OGL story. That's the biggest story in gaming in the last few years. I remember the initial discussion of that topic on Enworld and a lot of people said some pretty insulting and terrible things about the guy. It's my estimation that a lot of the dislike for the channel comes from them being unable to admit to being wrong. Is that "journalism" ... I don't think in a broad sense. I don't think anyone is claiming it is. It's just that anyone who has access to information and shares it becomes a journalist for a while. And if you listen to the discussion Stephen and Mark had recently in their year in recap, they made sure to get confirmation from multiple sources. I think the recent AI "scandal that wasn't a scandal" was a great example of someone [I]not [/I]doing that. If you want to learn about the stories they broke last year, there's a summary video here. [MEDIA=youtube]AinM_FCw1eI:6431[/MEDIA] As someone who enjoys their content, I'd say you're taking the joke video titles and extrapolating from there. There are a ton of content creators out there that make click bait content and don't know what they're talking about at all. Don't have any sources. And are just plain wrong about things. That's not what we're talking about here. From reading you post, my reaction is you don't like the channel's content and want to dismiss it out of hand.
