Wow, you guys don't really like him. He is the only content creator that kept me coming back to this site for awhile now. He's a decent pop culture critic and I like his game over and big picture series. I know he has a bad reputation on twitter, but that's basically the majority of twitter users in a nutshell.
For me and several, it's more than Twitter. Even back in the later 00s, he had problems and nasty attitudes way before Twitter took off. They were just barely tolerable back then. Emphasis on barely.

And nothing of value was lost.
This seems like something that should be announced somewhere on the actual site, no? Maybe I just missed it, but it seems like something you'd want to tell your paying subscribers about just in case they care...

Yeah, I don't know, I never followed his twitter but his vids were pretty good. Not sure why these people are being dinks about it.
I mean, Kyle Gaddo could've been making some great content outside of the time he was our community manager on Escapist 1.0 if his Twitter profile is to be believed. But him acting like a cock on the forums certainly doesn't make me feel inclined to enjoy any of it or consider him any better than the way he composed himself around us. I imagine several people here feel the same way about Bob and how he acted in his videos and on Twitter

I don’t find Jack Packard that engaging personally, and the less said of my opinion about Red Letter Media the better BUT they are well known and widely enjoyed. So that would be quite a coup if they managed it.
Oh gods, I remember when he treated his return as pwning his harassers/detractors. While I can understand his feelings spite is not a healthy emotion to carry/reason to conduct one's business. And it doesn't make the spiteful look mature.
Anyway: post return I think the videos of his I enjoyed the most was the one on a clip from Avengers endgame which went on a tangent on the history of Greek theatre and the ones of the history of propaganda. Apart from that I think having him do two Big Picture episodes a week was stretching him thin.
EDIT: Why do we always blame video games? was also good.

Pop culture critic wise Bob had is moments of being good I'd rate him better than a lot of people who claim to be "Pop Culture critics" though I do think sometimes he kind of could or should have gone in deeper one some stuff.
Twitter Bob was like the Mr Hyde to content creator Bob from what I saw. It was like the Bob who said "I'd have sided with Magento" was just let loose on there to run wild.
No. Take things like his videos on Joker where he completely made his opinion on it for political reasons and kept doubling down on his position because of his pride.
I gotta ask, why did you go anywhere near his Twitter?
Every man and his dog had a political hot take of Joker. Thank god for Corona
