Its an economic question. Are there enough donations to fund all 3 of these ventures? Can alex get borzoi out of semi-retirement? Can they quit the shoah? Splitting means the money goings by default to the NJP, which is the thing their supporters actually like, does a subscriber base for "non-activism" "extremely online" stuff among their audience?I think that's Jesse's way out. Sven and Rand do the internet drama queen shit. Mike et al do NJP, Alex and Borzoi do nerd shit and huff smarty farts.
I don't know the answers, but I think the material economic conditions of the situation force them into a do TDS or death spiral scenario. Like, try to think to the future, do these guys have a realistic retirement plan? What's the endgame? What does TRS look like in 15-20 years when they are all in your 60s?
I linked an autistic telegram screed that included Joel and striker arguing over shit. Striker, for the record, never refuted these accusations, lending them credence, and went on to refer to Joel's chat as a groyper chat. I regret not capturing more, but I was a bit lazy. Oh well. Maybe it hasn't deleted yet, and you can click the link in the linked post.I'd really really need to see some serious receipts to give any credence to what bullshit Joel is spouting, I think Striker aggressively poaching content creators is unprecedented and completely misaligned with what his business is, or that he could begin to make such moves, when in the past the call on platforming has been Sven's
to me it looks like some fag in a drama fit recontextualising an actual interaction, that's none as spicy, as red meat for groypers and the assorted Striker detractors
Edit: shoot, I forgot the link!

Crusty as shit, but the meme checks out.
