Extra Credits 

I'm conflicted about whether I should continue to watch the Extra Credits channel.

It's not even anything to do with the harassment. (Unless Dan's departure was due to that.)

The new narrator's exuberance just doesn't work most of the time, the inclusion of the cat character is cute but the jokes are forced.

There's been a noticeable uptick in paid promotions.

And more recently the subject choices have either been weak, and not fully explored. Also they had a "Games You Might Not Have Tried" last month, and they had another one this week?

I haven't even really been watching Dan's Play Frame because I've seen KH's story enough times, I'd be more interested in just hearing his thoughts on design/direction in the games.

While I've mostly moved on from EC's horrendously misguided lootbox videos, and I disagree with Portnow's theory about making lootboxes better (tldr his suggestion would make them not lootboxes), there still remains that part of me that wonders if they regret those videos now that more regulations are being pushed.

It would suck to have to drop their channel, because they do have interesting things to say here and there, and the Extra Scifi has been interesting, but... the quality hasn't been consistent for a while.
