i have more thoughts on this i will post later
>re: andrew, nick, charls
Sam basically pissed away all their careers. Adult Swim was THE connection they had to make in order to have long-term, commercial careers. There was absolutely no other path for guys like these (where else would they go? SNL? lmao). They are clearly livid about it. Additionally, If Sam is bad about paying debts as he has openly admitted I wouldn't be surprised if he owed the rest of MDE money as well. If this is the case, dangling a couple dollars in front of your ex-friends on Twitter (implying they're broke and desperate and should be grateful for the opportunity) while you already owe them so much is just about the most narcissistic thing I've ever seen.
re: hydewars
This was a really good idea and he should have kept doing it how he originally intended (improvisational, casual, funny). Instead, he completely derails it and puts up a paywall while turning it into some kind of molyneux/peterson lecture series about shit that is way beyond his understanding. I must admit that most of the life advice he gives in HW rings pretty true, but then again it's mostly regurgitated molyneux. I remember when he made a video right after he caught hell for announcing the paywall. He said he would put the videos up on youtube for a week or so, then archive them on gumroad which I thought was fair. Turns out he straight up lied and never implemented anything like that. the real irony of his self-help vids is that they would help people that have been used/abused by Sam.
>re: roastie drama
I've heard from reliable sources outside of the 8chan posts that the weird sex shit is true, which is pretty disappointing. I can't really promote or enjoy the content of a guy that engages in the stuff Sam does. I thought that post about how it's gossipy and effeminate to talk about what other guys do with their dicks was especially rich, considering his proclivity to do just that.
>re: tim heidecker
Sam: "This guy should have stuck his neck out for us with Adult Swim/Turner even though my fanbase mercilessly attacked him on the internet and all I did was laugh about it."
First of all I'm not a big Tim and Eric fan in the first place. I think everything they've made since Tom Goes to The Mayor is absolute garbage. Tim is also a raging democrat with a complete mess of a personal life. That said, Tim was beaten up by the MDE crowd pretty bad and Sam did nothing to stop it because it was funny to watch another liberal meltdown and he never thought he would need Tim's help. Sam had no obligation to "control" his audience, but Tim also has no obligation to do Sam any favors when he's the one that needs help. Are you seeing now where acting in bad faith gets you?
re: adult swim/turner
It was a simple business decision. Turner got spooked that their $1,000,000 investment was about to cost them a whole lot more. Here's the real red pill: Turner doesn't give a shit about your little sketch TV show. Saying bye-bye to a million dollars and a bunch of young guys' careers is something they do on a daily basis, and you either knew that or you should have known that before you went in. They don't remember your names or what your show was even about. Sam should have been way more careful not to piss anyone off and clean up his internet presence.
