@Long:
Someone mentioned Llocm addresed the matter, but with him and tamara being the talemt and not doing a lot besides the videos and tamara's logs they probably have onky seen the good and I bet they've been really shocked. They probably are actually friends with Doug as well.
Also, iirc, they were only brought on after To Boldly Flee, which would mean that they never saw many of the production-level complaints that are just coming to light here. It's conceivable to me that Doug may have simply learned his lesson since then, and things are genuinely better on the sets now. Of course, none of that excuses the wretched goings-on on the business side, or the noticeable silence on the part of the Walkers regarding that. I also must admit that much of this has to do with my own biases, I don't really watch video reviews anymore besides Ellis', but the anniversary movies came at a time in my life when making fun little movies like that with friends seemed like just the best thing ever, so having that dream soured like this has been a bit rough, even though it's REALLY none of my business whatsoever.
And having typed that, I must ask myself again, "if there has been an attempt to improve things behind the scenes, why wouldn't that be more transparent in the apology?" Not that I really need to know one way or another, again I have no involvement as anything other than an outside observer hearing everything secondhand. But I DO know, as an actor, how easy it is to go on completely and blissfully unaware of all the shady crap, unless you're one of the parties directly affected. And knowing what little I do about Doug and Channel Awesome, I think this may be part of it, that Doug is trying to be hands off and entrust the business part of the site to others, and just made the really unfortunate mistake of putting faith in the wrong people. But the problem is, he IS one of the parties involved whether he wants to be or not, and the fact that the time he could have stepped in and actually said something, addressed the core issues before they even became known to us, has long passed by now, is really sad.
