I don't think all is lost. It's not like he has to build from scratch, he still has a million subs and he still does good numbers when he goes live. He lost the barbershop but he didn't lose his channel. He still was getting good guests even during this slow turn over the last year. He's respected enough that he can continue to get people on.
He just needs to make adjustments and revamp.
1) Build a strong team of about 3 other host. He can keep Mecc, but he needs to replace Gat. Mickey Factz would be a perfect co-host if he didn't live in the A.
How long til the new team is gone?
If Mecc is still around he can get by with 1 other person but he needs to pick the right person not a dumb ass like Gat. He brought nothing to the table.
I don't know if Mickey is the right person.
2) Buy a spot and don't rent out a spot so you don't have to worry about these issues again
He doesn't need to buy a spot. That's a serious investment with high risks and with the views going down that's a step he shouldn't take. There's plenty of dedicated studios in Manhattan or Brooklyn he could rent out. I doubt most people doing successful podcasts in NYC are buying spots.
3) Learn a business. He has a very a good rapport with Nore and Vlad. I think him and Joe are okay. You don't have to form your channel like theres, but you can follow their business model. He tried to like Vlad, but I think he would be better off doing a Patreon.
He's not on Patreon?

Could've just put the full interview out early on Patreon so all the people complaining about the shorter clips could subscribe and pay for the content early.
I don't expect him to learn the business but most of the big YouTubers link with companies who do analytics and help them expand. They already know the business so you let them handle that.
People love familiarity and stability. I feel there were certain episodes he did over the last year that were way better than ones he did at their peak, but since he had turned so many people off at that point, a lot of it got lost.
I been checked out. I had one foot out the door when Esso/Hynaken left, put that foot halfway back in when Bigga left, one foot out when the audio/video quality dropped, and was finally out when Math started cosigning Ye and going MAGA. I just can't fukk with Math anymore. He's too messy, shady, and an idiot to boot.
