Hear what they say at around ~17:00, and any other place in the video: they literally praise Blizzard how good they are, and they are doing the best class tuning in the decade, healers are in a perfect spot, etc.

This obviously a lie, so one may wonder why they say things like this. It makes zero sense.

The only thing i can think of is that they got some hefty marketing sponsorship payment to only say nice things about the game, to draw players in.

It's a very sad sight to see.Comment by Jinokunyumytv is the goat. I dont watch podcasts but I think he has some valid views.

Dudes farming the trues like it's Sunday cakeComment by johano3012Wowhead has never mentioned a huge podcast like Poddy C, but Squishei doesn't hesitate to promote his own podcast through a website which he is high up in the hierarchy.

Maybe i'm wrong, it's entirely possible, and the state of the game will be in pretty good shape!

- All i ask, is to look at the tank+healer player numbers after ~1month, the completed M+ run numbers, and how much 90% of the playerbase will need to wait for a single M+ :-)

What many of us see, is that nearly every change is geared towards the top ~1%, and even if it's ridiculous (like _zero_ DMG profiles converted to DoT style, while it was promised), the top ~1% can "deal" with it, like this video can be summarized as:
"yeah, this-and-this is bad, not ideal, but we (organized groups with 10 year experience) can still play it, so it's ok."
