I called your attitude pretty terribad, it wasn't a personal attack. If you go back and read what you wrote, you basically said that if there wasn't a written transcript, you weren't interested. That's pretty much talking down on Thorin's work and it's not worth your time because he doesn't present his interviews in a format of your liking.
I've actually had a talk with Thorin before about the written transcripts last month and he said that for the amount of time and effort each one of these Grilled episode takes, he doesn't want to spend an additional 2-3 hours transcribing a recording when people can just load it in the background and just listen to it. I understand where he's coming from and for people in the community to dismiss his work simply because he doesn't have a transcript is just inane.

You're right of course. If it's not in a written format I'm not interested. It's not an attack on Thorin or his work, I'm sure they're great interviews, everybody says they are and I want to read them. It's more the fact that I have more things to do in a day than I have time to do them. I already only watch at best half of the LCS games, if I'm going to spend 30 minutes watching LoL content, it's going to be an LCS game, not an interview.
If the thought process is you don't need to write a transcript because people can listen to it while they do something else, then you need to have spoken English interpretation, not written subtitles. I do not speak Korean, so suggesting I do something that I can't actually do seems a little odd.
I would like to spend a few minutes going through a transcript. If you don't want to make one available, that's fine. Your time is valuable just like mine is, and I understand that. But you should accept that you are intentionally not making your content available to a wider audience, not say that people have bad attitudes for not accessing your content the way you want them to.
And by the way Neo, calling somebodies attitude terrible is a personal attack, no matter how you want to coat it.
