Broken Meeple Podcast 137 - Longform vs Shortform Content It's been a very emotionally draining couple of weeks for me. Stressful work, a hacked FB account, other personal stuff, lack of time, heatwaves, the UK Expo and lots of unnecessary abuse/pushback on Facebook making that platform seem less and less desirable for board game creator content. But we must push forward and even though I get to spill out my soul for camera in this episode, I still get to talk about my positive experience with SAIL and my not so positive experience with Veiled Fate............which got me a lot of abuse online for not liking it, seriously there are some fragile ego's out there. And some of those tests on our resolve have impacted some of my friends in the industry where I see them get pushback/abuse also. It's unjustified and one of the hot topics is shortform vs longform creation. We prepare longform content and there's reason for that, we are critical reviewers, not quickie overviews. We need the time. And yet apparently that gives the right to people to eviscerate my friends and myself for choosing longer content. Well I have some thoughts to say on the matter so strap in - this will require some restraint! *************************************** SUBSCRIBE ► www.youtube.com/channel/UCmjyHBcq…ub_confirmation=1 *************************************** Related Content Welcome To My Channel (Who I Am) ► youtu.be/kgznPr5F3HI Episode 135 - Golden Geek Awards ► https://youtu.be/HTGiav6wl00 Episode 136 - UKGE Review ► https://youtu.be/eA8Kuwc6mi0 *************************************** Who Am I? One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them!
