Just so we’re clear
supporting Brian’s right to do whatever he wants in his career and understanding that he’s still going to continue making delightfully weird content
and
being sad that we’re not gonna get more of the specific weird content he produces on polygon and/or being unsettled by the change in general
aren’t contradictory, and
Polygon is a website with 5 other video producers who are still around doing their best to produce excellent content, and a lot of Brian’s content wouldn’t have been possible without them either
and
Polygon as a website has been severely under-utilising these other video producers and has been producing fewer and fewer of the kinds of video series the fanbase fell in love with, and have been leaning more heavily on Brian-led content, such that they’re going to have to make some significant changes if they’re going to maintain their popularity
aren’t mutually exclusive opinions either
