I could stomach new hires, nothing wrong with having more people to diversify your audience and growth within your clique. What RT did was hire the unqualified daughter of a famous celebrity they wanted to curry favour with who had zero impact within the RT community, didn't get the vibe of the channel, then blamed the fans for shitting on her. And as everyone over the age of 10 knows, you never let the trolls know they got to you unless you're in it for the pity points. And did the pity points flow, not enough to keep her from going on to other jobs that require her to be black and very-slightly-famous (working for blizzard esports whoops!) but continues to shit on their audience ever since.
Any mistake they make is blown off, they act like the channel isn't sinking, that they known what the community likes, etc. You can get funny and creative gay / black / trans/ whatever people, but RT really manage to find the most boring shits that I guess swirl around the Austin 'creative' ecosystem and end up poisoning the well for anyone else because they use their minority status as an excuse for their otherwise terrible ideas. RT really has become a 'what not to do' in terms of hiring and creativity, their only two hires from the community were actually well received but since then they just gave friends positions that they have no buisness being in.
I won't be sad the day RT closes, RT itself has long been 'closed' for me.
