A couple years ago, I expressed my feelings of Broken Pedestal with regards to Spoony, the Gateway Series to the whole of Channel Awesome and a good funny reviewer in his own right. Sure, I didn't always agree with his views, but they were his views, and he was humorous enough to let it slide.
But, as others review have stated, Spoony has backslid severely. As of this writing, he hasn't created anything new in over a year. His only activities now are livestreams that barely really go anywhere (and frankly are barely even watchable). On top of that, he really does look incredibly burnt out and like he's lost his passion for this stuff. He has been finished as an internet personality for some time now. He had a good run, and for a while he was one of the most entertaining and innovative reviewers on the internet. Today? Frankly, he's an embarrassment, and it's borderline criminal that he still takes money from Patreon donors for producing next to no content.
I really think he needs to just retire the Experiment and start with the next phase of his life. Pursue something he's passionate about. It really seems like he doesn't want to do this anymore, and it's rather sad that he seems too prideful to admit that.
Has Spoony burnt out? Yes, and it's pretty sad.
