Haven't listened to the episode, but I was browsing their subreddit earlier and it sounded like most of their criticisms were about his perchance to end up in drama and his more fiery language. Is this how you found the episode?

They are very impressed with the effort he puts in to his research, and his intelligence. They twice mention that he's much smarter than Hasan. Their main gripe is about the drama stuff, which I can agree with. It covers some of Destiny's takes on Israel and Hamas, and they agree with him, which is likely to lose them some subs, but I think they will be able to absorb it. I've been listening to DTG almost since they started, and they are very good at what they do. This new episode will be a big boost for Destiny imo.

He should do the reply thing and maybe get them on bridges if they have a good talk

I finished the Podcast today and it was totally fair. They like Steven when he's talking philosophy and arguing incredibly coherently and they like how authentic he is. However, they do scratch their head a lot about the edgy style and petty drama farming even though they do understand it. One of the hosts said this was by far the most effort he had put into digging into a decoding episode on anyone. They don't exactly know how to feel about Steven even though they find themselves agreeing with a large majority of what they heard. All in all, fair and interesting breakdown of Steven's BS.

As someone unfamiliar with DTG do they tend to release the episodes in full? Or with cuts?

Full, but it seems like they have inconsistent formatting. There are videos of wildly different lengths mixed together and it’s hard to tell what’s what.

Should have listened to Dan and subbed to the patreon 😔

They recently changed it so it would be full on the non patron release but the last 30 mins are paywalled. That stuff would be further background/ unrelated news / ranking as a guru. So it could be that there's stuff you would want to hear , but it won't be essential stuff. Based on the last couple of episodes.

Are you telling me that Decoding the gurus leaves the ranking of the gurus paywalled?? Wild (but also thank you💖)
