Harley basically had a tiger by the tail. As his health and sanity slipped away, he feared letting go of the brand they'd built and the revenue they were making. You can see that in the last five years he's kind of chilled out: the pressure of being a superstar no longer oppresses him (though it was only ever in his own mind).

Cool idea milked to oblivion due to capitalism. There is only so many ways you can add MAN FOOD to a dish before it gets samey.
By the same token after a while to up the spectacle you just have to give up on taste and add gallons of bacon, cheese, meat, and bourbon to make it look 'epic' but you just have a greasy salty mess.

Develop your own opinions instead of seeking validation from a group of socially inept retards on an anime website. Most of the stuff people from rebbit considered “cringe” is stuff that was fun on 4chan before they immigrated here and most of the shit they consider “based” is just “no fun allowed internet is srs bizniss” garbage. The point is the terms “cringe” and “Reddit” mean absolutely nothing and taking any opinion from proclaimed “objective” viewpoint is the most retarded thing one can do.

It was OK when I was in college, but mostly because it was another one of the YouTube stars back then, but then it got old and once it did, everybody ran. Classic violation of one of the laws of power. They failed to keep creating interesting spectacles for the audience, so people just moved on. Also, your target audience, young millennials, got older and that frat-boy summer break big tits and musclebro vibe got really old and kind of tasteless.

>>18632324
Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time was the same way, but just used violence as a novelty.
