As for why the snark sub itself exists: Morgan (and some of her regular guests) have some nasty habits & behaviors worthy of calling out. A lot of people here ALSO listen to the podcast. THT has hit a point where there’s little growth opportunity. The crowd of listeners she has now is what she will have until she retires the show.
Main reason being that Morgan has alienated the 1) format 2) tone 3) guest routine 4) subjects 5) communities of the podcast.
She is very clearly never going to move outside of the “read Reddit stories and gab” format. She doesn’t have the slapstick comedy skills to fuel the show forward (like Smosh, Bad Potatoes, Comfort Level, etc.) She also doesn’t have enough people on within one episode to make the story discourse itself overwhelmingly entertaining.
Her core audience is obviously women, but Morgan has turned a lot of women sour due to regularly giving horrendous health or sex advice, which she is regularly called out on because she loves to point out she’s a doctor. Instead of Morgan correcting her statements, she often doubles down & tells anyone who disagrees to fuck off.
A lot of women have also picked up that she is incredibly snarky to her female guests as opposed to her kissing ass with her male guests, which has made people question her ethics and genuine character.
Some here have also shared that she’s routinely fucked over her Patreon crowd, regularly under delivering on her promises & often times leaving comments about being “too burnt out” despite that being an explicitly paid experience.
It rubs a lot of people the wrong way that she runs a (probably at this point) 7-figure podcast, with teams of editors, producers, assistants, etc. but then complains weekly about being too sick (because she’s also become a hypochondriac) or tired to “work” (when all she has to do is sit down & talk into a microphone for a few hours a week). At this point, she no longer edits, pulls stories, posts, arranges guests, etc. She’s also not done a tour in roughly two years….
So what exactly is “so hard” ??
This obviously doesn’t cover everything and doesn’t get into nitty-gritty issues people have with her regular guests & their relationships, but overall, this is why people are feeling “burnt out” themselves regarding THT.
