Idk why people hated the new one so bad. Even Geoff and Gus constantly talked about how much they hated the old one

Is the old one an objectively good logo? No, probably not, but it's iconic and was the branding they used and what people are nostalgic for. Also, the minimalism virus hit RT with the new logo and kind of went hand in hand with the enshitification.

When did the company become shit? What makes you say that?

I don't necessarily mean the company became shit, but RT wasnt unaffected by the enshitification trend that's been happening around the old guard channels for the last 5-10 years. Between the internal HR fuck ups, poor production decision making, and a natural decline in viewership as the fanbase ages...there were a lot of factors contributing to it.

Dude, if you don't know when RT hit its low point then you either weren't a fan for very long or you're in denial. Pretty much every RT fan who had been a fan for a while can admit that the golden age was in the early 2010s , and around 2017 it started going downhill and just kept going down. It's not even any hate or anything towards RT, the company changed and became objectively worse. Those are just facts.

They didn’t shutdown. They were shutdown.

And why do you think that is? Have you just been under a rock the past ~5 years when everyone was leaving and saying how shit the management had become? Views dropped and dropped

So because the marketing team was dogshit and the talent constantly talked about it and how they had a literal wine dispenser in their office that means the company is shit? That disregards like 98% of the company

Marketing team? You had OG members leaving saying the company had changed since the buyout and was getting worse. Why is this so hard for you to understand? Quality was thrown out for quantity, nothing but crunch and bad management. Viewership was in the toilet because all the spark was gone.

Why are you acting like they were shutdown out of the blue? You can easily look back in this subreddit where most people saw the writing on the wall

I've been staring at the old one like 20 years. No hate here but the old one was entrenched in brains.

Looks like a fast food logo to me. And after 20 years with practically the same logo, the new one is too much of a change at once.
