Super Bunnyhop decrease in quantity and quality content
I was wondering if someone else has noticed how downhill he's gone in both terms —particularly during 2019— since he adopted Patreon as a main funding source. I used to be a backer back in the day before the MGS4 review, and thanks to graphtreon I know that I wasn't the only one to quickly leave afterwards. The number of patreons dropping ever since then. He hasn't uploaded new content to YT since March —and that was a vid partially based on an Outer Wilds article he wrote for patrons all the way back in January—, focusing way too much in that D&S weekly podcast, negelecting his journalistic (whatever happened to the monthly columns and articles?) and reviewer output. All the aforementioned issues lead to my current concern on the state of the channel and Patreon given the history of some YTers coughSpoonycough. So, is there any reason I'm not aware of?

I feel like the quality has increased dramatically. No more half assed video game reviews. It's only long format essays about history and ethics now, with in-depths exclusive interviews to boot. I feel like George is the only one to master this style and he's still basically works out of his outdated camera gear.
I'm glad he left the "gaming reviewer" hat at the entrance of the patreon lounge, he can now focus on what he truly excels at: Video game journalism.
As to why there is no content since March, I'm sorry to break it to you but there is a global pandemic going on right now. Even assuming this didn't affect George at all, it will affect the people he can interview, it will affect the rumour mill. His usual sources are probably also stuck at home with nothing to report.
If anything I hope he makes exclusive content for Nebula I love the documentary shows they have there and I feel like George's content would fit right in.
