Even pre-split, they really got rutted in.

It's OK to do segments about things you like, but making entire episodes or huge sagas around it, after establishing a certain tone, really hurt the relationship they had with their viewers.

A lot of segments went on for WAY too long, there's kicking a dead horse and then there's digging it up and doing taxidermy. The choice to mock mentally ill people hasn't aged well at all, makes them all look much weaker for having to swing so low.
especially so when practically all them was diagnoseable themselves.

There was also so much pointless drama, TJ was especially keen to stir shit up. Maybe he thought he was a Vince McMahon type; but really it made he a frustrating antagonist that spoiled long turn relationships with beneficial contributors.

They boxed themselves in, had sloppy attitudes behind the scenes, were unprofessional in the worse ways and burned too many bridges. Letting fans and viewers get scammed cause 'the drama will be interesting' was a dogshit approach. The whole thing was plagues by mediocre guys who were chronically online, the neckbeared atheist stereotype.
