"Channel Awesome Implodes - #CUPodcast" (Watch on YouTube)

Following up on this. See also: this.

Yeah, I'm still kind of keeping half an eye on all the drama going on, out of sheer morbid curiosity, but aside from that, I'm pretty much done with it all.

(EDIT)

Oh, and there's also this Google Doc file that was compiled and released a day or two ago.

(EDIT 4) And here is a second thread on those resetera forums in direct response to the release of the above document, though more stuff comes to light in subsequent posts after that as well. Like I said, morbid curiosity is what drives me at this point. (/EDIT 4)

(/EDIT)

(EDIT 2) And here is the Channel Awesome "apology" tweet. TL;DR version: "We regret that you feel bad. We blocked people because we felt we had to. Please stop talking bad about us now." (/EDIT 2)

(EDIT 3)

Okay, so I just read the document, in one sitting. Speaking as someone entirely on the outside looking in, all I can say is... holy fucking shit, it's even worse than I knew, even after following the recent Twitter threads and such. #ChangeTheChannel

If I hadn't already scrubbed all my bookmarks to the Channel Awesome site and Youtube channel and Twitter and all of that a couple weeks ago, I'd absolutely be doing so right now. #ChangeTheChannel

Hell, I feel damned icky now just from having watched Nostalgia Critic vids over the years, without knowing this kind of shit was going on all along behind the scenes. I will never watch anything in the future, NC or otherwise, that involves Doug or Rob Walker. #ChangeTheChannel

And now just finished reading the fan document linked to at the end of the main document: https://t.co/GGL2f1oona It's just... wow. How can a thing that looked so cool and fun and... well... *awesome* on the outside be such a goddamned latrine on the inside? #ChangeTheChannel

Can't say I ever really paid much attention to Channel Awesome. I did watch some of the videos here and there I'm sure, but as a channel as a whole, never even realized it was much of a Thing. I've downloaded the documents to read although haven't gone through them yet although I've watched a few videos of people going on about it so I'm sure it'll be as big and smelly a latrine as you say it is when I do decide to give this a bit of time.
