The Continuing Saga of Rocketboom
Apparently Andrew Baron and the current staff of Rocketboom have been deleting comments that are critical of the new host or praising of Amanda, the host that was fired a few weeks ago.
I'm still watching the 'Boom, despite my loyalties being with Amanda. I don't really enjoy Joanne Colan, the new host, but it's not really her fault as I don't think she's the right choice for this format. I would gladly watch her in something else. The bottom line is that I don't want to see someone who is honestly giving it her best fail.
I haven't agreed with Andrew's content choices since the switch, but he needs to do what he thinks he needs to do. If he needs to pull out the big guns and get some high profile friends from other vlogs to make an appearance, that's what he needs to do. If he needs to run several field pieces, that's what he needs to do.
But to delete comments that are critical of the new direction to give the impression that everyone loves the new Rocketboom? That's just wrong. In fact, it's censorship, something that is quite against the spirit of Rocketboom. This is very upsetting.
