I'd give Ben the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake since up to that point he has been a class act.
As for the radio silence, I'm afraid that this could be something bad. I've seen other examples of creators doing great work who are seemingly impossible to dislike, and STILL receive harassment to a point of not wanting to continue (e.g. Handmade Hero)
- OJFord 4y agoWell, nevermind anything nefarious, life can throw unexpected things in the mix too. This Old Tony was similarly away for a while recently (now back) after a family member died. I imagine it only gets more difficult to return too, once people notice and maybe you see them asking in comments, on Reddit or HN, etc. 'where' you've gone, and start to feel some need to not only return but explain your absence. I check occasionally for new videos, I enjoy them and hope there's more to come, but I don't need to know 'why', it's none of my business, and he doesn't owe me anything. (I'm not a Patreon supporter, that apparent change is a bit different of course, perhaps just a mistake as you said.)
- protoster 4y agoAll I want is a simple "channel on hiatus for personal reasons" post somewhere.
- martinmunk 4y agoDef. agree on this one. I'm reminded of the closure viewers of the YouTuber Bosnian Bill got about his disappearance, by Lock Picking Lawyer doing an explanation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ASQQboFg98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ASQQboFg98 But I do also understand not all creators have a relationship with another creator which as much overlap of audience that it is possible.
- stagger87 4y ago> I've seen other examples of creators doing great work who are seemingly impossible to dislike, and STILL receive harassment to a point of not wanting to continue (e.g. Handmade Hero) Are you saying that Casey Muratori is "seemingly impossible to dislike"? Isn't he still doing HH?
- bergenty 4y agoWhat kind of harassment did Casey receive? Was it if the “this is stupid because he’s not using an engine variety”?
- protoster 4y agoHe didn't go into details of harassment when speaking about it, which is understandable, except that it was about things he said on stream.
