Yes I can understand it sucks when people leave the scene and we lose shows but I rather have a smaller community build with people that have actual values.

I don't understand at all what you mean with regards to values. Can you explicitely say what you are talking about so no one has to guess?

a couple of people already talked about it in the thread. he's referencing the reddit scandal. it sucked, but i don't think that many ppl cared anyway.

Nah, I think many people were just using it to pull his leg, though his reputation did suffer significantly imo (because of all the dodgy things he said when asked whether he used them to downvote content of his competitors).

Some people hold the fact chanman made 40 reddit accounts against him like he committed murder or something.

Redditers are weird creatures. Chanmans unfiltered is one of my primary work dodging activities. I'm going to miss it Although I'll probably be richer in the long run....

This. It is incredible.

I hope Destiny/Richard in some way continue with the show, although I doubt it.

It's pretty sad that making a few reddit accounts to get your announcements to #19 of the already content starved /r/starcraft subreddit is treated like it's a serious breach of ethics. Who cares about reddit etiquette? (that site should burn anyway)

Sad to hear Chanman is going to retire but it makes sense that he'd want to spend time with his family! Hopefully we'll still see him floating around from time to time

yea redditors (of all types, not just SC fans) have a tendency to think their site is the hub and genesis of all internet culture. it's a huge circlejerk of self-important popularity contests

Thank you for all the hard work you put in! The best wishes to you and your family. Hopefully you can return in some kind of way without missing too much. Thank you again!

so Channy realized he couldn't make any semblance of cash from the SC2 scene anymore without his reddit vote brigade, and he decided to bail on us. somehow i'm not surprised; people always follow the money. it's not like Unfiltered was a difficult show to host, you just call up your boys and talk about esports topics. he really had to cut this show? really?? this is like how naniwa exited the scene.... abruptly and without a real explanation

There has been an explanation but it seems you've either chosen to ignore it or just make up your own imaginary explanation.

some fringe scientists have suggested that this may be related to the social phenomenon of exchanging money for food, shelter, goods and services. more data is required before any conclusions, but i think it's a concept with merit!

another funny thing is that naniwa posted a blog explaining in detail his exit from the scene http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/462238-summary
