Funnily enough his
After Dark channel was already doing this; his patrons would pay him to rant about a topic that was usually a detailed rant in itself by the patron.
Part 2 is currently live; it will be interesting to see a) how much Digi makes from this "new" rant format b) will he actually continue with it.
And you're right; only the most exceptionally hypersperg fans of his have remained.
Personally, I much preferred his rants of old, which were limited to a relatively strict format of a pre-recorded 3-7 minutes concentrated rant, rather than a discussion with the questionnaire over a livestream, the length of which would tax the endurance of even the most dedicated Digi fan
