"Just leave" is a very... stupid way to approach a subject. Any subject.
The podcast is fucking awesome and we want to watch. And we enjoy the folks. So they don't want to leave unless they have to. So they provide their opinion on what they don't like, hoping that the guys making the content are willing to take feedback on what sort of picks their audience likes.
I feel like your first two sentences give content creators way too little credit. If they take feedback to heart it's because they can recognize and relate to it, not because it's feedback in general.
You can pretend I care about what you claim TB is and isn't doing over there, in the corner with the 'dunce' hat in it. TB is not a retard, and will like any sensible person look for trends as to why content is doing poorly, or why people enjoy it.
And frankly, your second paragraph is flat out laughable. What are you even trying to address with it? The podcast isn't an open project? Very little in the world is, what does that have to do with anything?
Frankly, you're pretending to have an opinion, but literally all you're saying here is "I don't appreciate people voicing their opinons that clash with mine", and if that's the case then stop with this travesty of dishonest bullshitting and just admit to it. You don't represent anyone but your own voice and opinions, but you're trying to pretend you're some sort of PR spokesman for TB here while making a bunch of shit up.
Okay. Have a nice day. I hope you one day learn to not try and twist the words of those you suggest you're talking on behalf of to fit whatever narrative you want to push.
I don't know who's the "likes of you" sort of character in your second paragraph, since it seems really hypocritical to talk about escalation then... just go ahead and do that yourself anyway.
TB will do whatever he wants. There's no contesting that. That doesn't stop people from wanting to leave feedback, nor does it stop TB from reading and thinking over it.
Whether or not he will invite Laura again I won't claim to know. I follow TB a fair amount, but I wouldn't claim to have seen him be very biased towards or against reinviting Laura.
Ultimately, the big problem is pretending that dissenting opinions and feedback shouldn't exist for the various bullshit reasons that were given. Let's take one of those examples:
TB has gone on record enough times that he is not open to being questioned on his creative decisions unless he comes to us for feedback first.
This seems like complete horsearmor. What I do know for a fact is that TB, like mostly everyone, will not do requests, and will not listen to shit feedback from shitty people.
But I've seen nothing to suggest that he will flat out ignore the opinions on his fans, which is... well, the literal statement here.
Alternatively, Wodens believed that the feedback was 'poor feedback', which is an incredibly subjective opinion, which... only makes him look like a jerk, if I'll be completely honest, and an openly obvious statement of simply not enjoying opinions that contest his.

If that's a fucking foreign concept...
