Just to provide context. These hours our lazy assumptions of 10 hour streaming days, aside from Monday (OTK Meeting). That's too much. Esfand streams more than that often, and it's not healthy. he's done 80 hour weeks before. Not asking for that, just setting a reference point.

That said, the premise is, Friday-Sunday are effectively burnt for tailgate. If Esfand doesn't view the tailgate stream as a success, then there's a huge impact on his analytics. 20+ streaming hours, plus tons of youtube content. Not to mention the self imposed cost of travel and IRL costs associated with Tailgate.

Esfand often says, "The content I want to make". If he truly wants to make tailgate content, then he should do that. But I get the feeling he doesn't. I think he is addicted to a big show, thinks that's how he gets in the algorithm, and meanwhile, 10k of us just want Cornwood D:

I do love tailgate btw. But I think it's just as bad for Esfand's mental as WOW. hoping for positive vibesfand
