Do they not know

I feel like its pretty well understood among most in the community that the old witty format with the text across the screen, *wheeze*, was very much preferable to now. In addition to that, the increase in budget hasn't translated to quality any more than you'd see from a small graphics update on a game. Though in both instances, too many resources are used on it. They launch the subscription service to fuel the channel. I don't understand why they wouldn't just stick to a simpler format that, even if its not as good as the old series, would still be preferable to now, and much cheaper. They could upload more frequently on YouTube and in general, likely gain more subs, and most definitely pad the bottom line. After looking around and listening for a while though, I find that despite this sentiment being quite common their own sub, they don't seem to mention it, and if anything when on the topic, only mention how proud they are of the production.
