Collider Shakes it off

Damn, 2020 is starting out with a bang.

I used to be a huge fan of Collider, but around the Last Jedi, things starting to get strange,  The shows stopped talking to me and shifted.  Geeks and Gamers is right that the shows started becoming trendy and more like the shit we read on Twitter from blue checkmarks.  I would have killed to work on Collider years ago. Despite the more SJW stance it took, it was news commentary on movies and TV. Now, the management is going to go for more parody and movie star focus, which will probably fail.  There are too many of those videos channels.

Look, Collider was going downhill fast, but the thing that happened next was a little petty and shitty. I am all for people making fun of a company making wrong decisions and even firing someone. The problem arises when the boss brags about the firings and even disses the people that worked for the company via a public tweet. In good taste, you don't make fun of the people you let go. I can do all the Learn To Code jokes, but not the boss signing the checks.

What is with these people and flexing on Twitter? You're a professional. Act like it, Jack Hind. And “fart jokes”, really?

John Campea first did a nice video refusing to throw punches at Collider and the management's new angle. John changed his mind when Hind left that little snarky tweet online. It should be noted that Campea helped start the commentary branch of the Collider video. I've never seen Campea this pissed in a long time.

What is even more interesting is that all the other movie news sites are very quiet about the Jack Hind incident. Hmm.  And, Jack Hind, the Internet never forgets.
