* NetworkDecay: ''Extra Credits'' for much of its lifespan was primarily a gaming-centric analysis channel, with all of it's efforts being dedicated to game theory, analysis of gaming design and so forth. ''Extra History'' initially started as a side project that came to be as a result of Total War's development team asking the Extra Credits crew to teach some history related to their newest game's subject matter. Overtime however, Extra History became increasingly popular, much more so than the original channel's content related to gaming. As a result, as of December 2022, The gaming side of ''Extra Credits'' is now being split off into it's own channel, while the original channel is being rebranded into ''Extra History''.

Eh, I guess Creator Backlash kind of fits. It was under a different creative team, but I'm not sure that's not just as much a problem for Authors Saving Throw.


* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** After every ''Extra History'' series, they include an episode called "Lies," in which they address any anachronisms, inaccuracies, biases, or omissions in the episodes. Since several of their videos focus on extremely long and/or complex periods of history that they could't possibly cover completely in such a short timeframe, the "Lies" videos are very necessary, allowing them to keep ''Extra History'' succinct and entertaining without misinforming people.
** Years after their defense of RevenueEnhancingDevices tarnished their reputation, an episode examining the history of how games monetize took a much dimmer view of lootboxes, directly referencing the earlier episode under a different creative team and saying that it naively assumed this monetization method would be used responsibly and temperantly, before directly admitting it was not.

I feel like a direct in-episode acknowledgement, discussion, and retraction is Word Of God enough.
