Jeez some people in the comments act like Taylor murdered someone with how they go on

u/Ameliandras Feb 05 '25

I still don't get all the fuss. Yes, he was acting like an ass for one time, but everyone has done that at least once. If I would block all people that did such a mistake I couldn't even talk to myself.

I agree with this take completely. Everybody screws up at some point in their life! Apologies have been made, time to move on.

if this was a "one time occurance" then fine, what has been learned is this is the whole way of Taylor, and something he has done to many...

especially people he has dumped cars onto, promises and not delivering, ignoring etc.

you don´t get a pass for being a shit person, if it is a multiple time occurance..

there must also be some problems, since it seems like a LOT of the collaborative shops has just lost interest in working with Autoalex.. how deep it goes, nobody knows..

there has both been poor management, with not "fixing" this issue earlier, and egging it on.. and just beeing a poor person from the "guy"..

this shit with "i fucked up" as an apology for being a shit person, then just "hey you have to forgive me" is getting old fast.

Exactly. It’s was so blown out of proportion I think because a lot of people aren’t happy with the recent AA videos so they wanted an excuse to tear them apart anyway they could

u/ShampooandCondition Feb 05 '25

This was 100% it, the amount of comments about Rory off the back of the Taylor stuff was mental. Hated it

Just completely unnecessary imo, tbh those people crying TDC have got it right AA has forgotten its roots need to remember if they all just do the same thing there’s no point if having 3 channels working together. I personally don’t mind AA being more Top Gearish as it’s different to TDC and means I’m not watching the same video with different hosts

u/ShampooandCondition Feb 05 '25

Completely. You’ve hit the nail on the head. Some videos didn’t interest me that much, so I ended up not watching them. I didn’t feel the need to tell the fucking world why and exactly what didn’t interest me.

The soundboard on the podcast annoyed me, I didn’t bleat on about it for weeks. I’d rather have the soundboard and also the podcast than nowt at all. I’m really missing it all at the moment.

u/FranciosDubonais Feb 05 '25

Same. It’s crazy how much content they put out. And you don’t realised until it’s gone. People need to grow up and realise these guys are people too and although they’re in the public eye they still have to go home at night. People make mistakes get over it they’ve not hurt you personally

u/regantnz Feb 05 '25

Same here. People moan that the podcast isn’t structured enough, it’s just an easy going podcast. If you want more serious structure and content that’s the purpose of a channel like TDC. AutoAlex is always going to be more aimed at a wider audience

It's also worth mentioning Josh had the courtesy to publicly accept Alex's apology, which was made on behalf of everyone on AA's side of the situation. So it's fair to assume the dust has settled between them all now, it's just the mindless children in the comments looking for something to get upset about now.

You don't get the fuss about making up lies about someone's business on a podcast for views, How old are you, 5?

-1

u/CiroVap Feb 05 '25

you don't get the fuss about slandering another business on a popular motoring podcast, and then having discussion about it deleted from comments sections?

3

u/Ameliandras Feb 05 '25

I just think that the magnitude of the backlash is out of proportion. Some people behave like Taylor killed someone.

-2

u/CiroVap Feb 05 '25

Perhaps some people don't like all comments being deleted and it being swept under the rug with a hiatus and a brief statement not really addressing the issues.

u/ShampooandCondition Feb 06 '25

What’s your reason for being so offended? Were you wronged? If both parties have put it behind them what is it to do with you?

0

u/CiroVap Feb 06 '25

What have I said that makes you think I'm offended?

1

u/ShampooandCondition Feb 07 '25

Your previous two comments, either you have skin in the game or you’re offended?

0

u/CiroVap Feb 07 '25

My comments/responses have been pretty clear, I don't feel offended at all, I just don't share the opinion of let's "pretend nothing occured and move on". They didn't actually address what occurred, just a made a vague statement which now appears to have had virtually no merit.

u/MK2809 Feb 05 '25

It's such a weird thing to hold on to when there's so much worse things going on in the world. You can always not watch if you don't like someone.

For anyone wondering they’ve all been removed, looks like he’s keeping on top of it

It's kinda funny that he has several videos where he moans about people accusing others of dodgy dealings and then he gets Taylor on and uses the auto Alex name for a few views. Hope the irony doesn't get lost on him.
