THAT STILL DOESN'T MAKE ANY LOGICAL SENSE!

Yeah, sure, fine, whatever, GoB is the best podcaster around (which he is btw, he's a badass, constant listener), he is your golden boy. Fine, he gets paid his 30 minutes and banks money so he can amass a big account over a long career. That's all good and well and when you reach the Emerald City, give him my compliments to the Wizard because you're walking on the yellow brick road side of this: THE SIDE THAT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER.

I am asking you, straight up, what the problem is with people trying to meet the 1 hour cap through multiple podcasts. It is LITERALLY the same amount of time spent to grade them since the cap comes to 1 hour no matter how many ways you want to look at it. It's 1 hour's worth of podcast. It's a measurement of time. If it isn't about the 1 hour time constraint and literally about you just being annoyed at having to click some extra buttons to get to the full hour of podcast, SAY THAT AND MOVE ON. Don't stand high and mighty pronouncing that it's about some humbling cause to put all us young whippersnappers in place by limiting our earning power when WE CAN STILL GET THE FULL HOUR UNDER YOUR SYSTEM AND STILL POTENTIALLY MAKE BANK DOING IT. Your argument's invalid, go home. Both systems allow for you to get to $3.5M per week, the money's not the issue, that argument's out of here. Don't bring that shit up again.

And it's weak to make it seem like you're promoting long-term activity when you're stifling the amount of media people can work on per week and possibly strangling the activity out of new members. You got your GoB, I got someone too: Rayan Pitaniya. Remember him? Of course not, he got 200 TPE and LEFT because someone decided that you can only do a certain amount of podcasts per week and flat out left after his first 2. He could have been great (still was a top 5 center at the time of his draft) but left because these types of rules limit activity and sometimes drive people away from the site. Yes, he was inactive before the rule today was in place, but you have to realize that tightening your grip on the rules only lets more members slip through the fingers. It's that simple.

Point being, if you wanted to stand for something, you've done a shit job of it. You've placed a limit on the number of times someone can attempt to reach a capped accumulated time limit when placing a cap on the number of attempts only hurts the league in terms of activity. You care so much about this site, help it out. People want activity, maybe even in the form of podcasts. Don't limit them.

I hate referencing Reagan, so I'll let him say it.

Why dont you just edit your multiple podcasts into one? I really dont see what the issue is if the rule says one, then make it one compilation of smaller podcasts
