Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I really enjoyed their early episodes but they got podcast disease (lazy prep, laughing at their own lame jokes way too much) remarkably quickly imo. Also, Alice has had some incredibly bad takes over the years. I saw her storm out of a group chat over some very lukewarm pro-China takes one time.
EDIT: there's a lot of legit criticism to be made of Maduro however!
November is actively enrolled in a collegiate program and seeking a career in fake pig science. Seriously she's doing criminology lol.
but of course she didn't really mean it when she posted about how she wanted to become a cop and be one of the "good" ones
Her reasoning was incredibly grim iirc, and she only backed off when it became clear that the podcast money was at risk lol.
I think my favorite Alice moment though was when, during one of the periodic Podcaster Earnings Struggle Sessions (precipitated, as always, by Alice going "I'm poor, please buy me things for my mental health"), one of her ultras got out the receipts, proving that Alice 'only' makes £80K p.a. from podcasts lol. And she was totally oblivious to how this looked to everyone else, natch
no sympathy for the PMC (podcasting mediocrity class)
There's been one or two episodes where Liam was straight up watching a baseball game during the recording.
There's just this fucking entitled arrogance to a lot of the 'shitpost left' podcasts — as if they're doing us plebs a massive favor gracing us with their privately educated waffle. At least with TrueAnon you get the sense that they've done the reading!
I used to love the trillbillies, but then they lost tanya and at this point it's just 2-3 guys bullshitting and trying a little too hard to make points they think sound deep
and acting strangely hostile about some kind of t-shirt sales problems where their only job is being neglected or something, I dunno I don't buy merch
