@willnitze Couldn’t agree more. They’ve jumped the shark. The smugness is off the fucking charts, South Park SF episode levels.
And I actually liked getting the righter-than-me perspective, purely because it was outside my existing echo chamber. The neo-con bashing was music to my ears.
@acdmma_ Watered down PPVs by far.
Honorable mentions: the judges, the light heavyweight division, the hilariously bad gloves (eye pokes), the lack of effort when promoting or building fighters and rivalries, the posters, no fighter sponsorships, no cool walkout gimmicks.

@shainadenny@msuster AI ads w/ deep faked celeb endorsements hocking a drop shipped T shirt is pretty fucking sus. Even if we agree with the message/sentiment
