I'll preface by saying I appreciate all the hard work Josh does to keep the site alive, given the forces both outside and inside that want it taken down.
However, I stopped listening to MATI several months ago because of a lot of the points Josh brought up in his "humanizing himself" post. Giving halfbaked takes, and mainly the politisperging which I think is a big weakness of Josh is giving political takes on things he has a surface level/Twitter understanding of. I get that MATI is setup where you can skip the political shit after the first hour or so, but that's not really true when it bleeds into other segments or other topics, and then I'm like "well if I have to skip like 2 hours to get to what I actually want to listen to, why the fuck am I even listening at all?". I think Josh's strengths are when he can bounce off of other people. When he's by himself in his hot take bunker with just the chyatt, he doesn't have somebody that can filter out or challenge him on something he says being retarded or not making any sense. For example, when Rekieta didn't have holes in his brain a million years ago and Josh would come on, that was the only time I felt Rekieta was actually tolerable to listen to. The Kiwi Casino shows with PPP are really good. IMO that's Josh's strength as a 'Cahhntent Creator' is whenever he has a cohost or is a cohost and can go off the cuff with someone else.
