Everyone complained they didn't share enough so they start to give us the shinies every week and now people are complaining about the shinies and demanding less but better stuff. SBS can't win.
I think you might be missing the key point he made about quantity vs quality.
The request for them to "share more" isnt automatically granted just because they "share more often".
Take me from example.
I talk a lot. I know I talk a lot. However, I am sure many people would question the "quality" of what I actually say.
You can talk more, while actually "sharing" less.
I would argue that while we do seem to now have a more regular schedule to them sharing, the overall quality of what they are sharing has gone down dramatically.
Even when it comes to words, without looking at tangible game progress, when is the last time we had a new system revealed? Or a true DJ on an existing system? Or a real conversation on the forums about how some system they are thinking about might be inplemented?
Part if the reason people keep drifting towards the negative conversations is that there hasn't been anything new and "positive" to talk about.
All these people still want to be engaged, they still want to be involved - SBS has conditioned them to be that way, and repeatedly emphasized they want it that way.
The best solution I can see is actually giving them something they can get their teeth into.
Hell, we have seen people debate for weeks on the slightest system reveal. Sure, some still injected a degree of skepticism and negativity, but overall, the tone was constructive.
What changed?
We didn't. It's the same people here that have always been here (with some new faces).
What changed was actually having something to talk about.
