* AudienceAlienatingEra: Bob's tenure at geek.com, a now defunct media aggregator that was attempting in 2016 a big overhaul. Not only the site itself hinged on the fact [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong they had Bob do all the heavy lifting to keep them alive]], but he in turn had to do a ''lot'' of blatant corporate, target audience and demographic pandering for the sponsors. His [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels attempts at Chinese]] were particularly cringe-worthy. Not helping matters were Bob's attempts at online activism during that era, which ranged from "just" bizarre to outright hostile (and still bizarre). All of this quite significantly affected the perception of both his material and Bob himself.

-->...but I've been hesitant to jump into politics too early. This is meant to be about the culture surrounding a hobby, not a political machine, and if you get into politics before establishing a broader identity you risk getting pigeonholed as "a liberal commentator" or "right-wing game rant guy" which can turn off a lot of people unnecessarily.
