I thought "I quit" threads, and promoting a YouTuber were against the rules? Because they're pointless threads?

Let’s set this straight
This guy is the opposite of toxic.
Very thoughtful and detailed videos and it seems he straight up does it as a hobby. He could’ve monetized his popularity way more.
On the topic at hand, it’s true Blizz targeted whales once again.
It’s their IP, their property, so of course their are entitled to do whatever they want.
On the other hand, it’s also the right of loyal players to feel let’s say “betrayed” by this behavior and thus exit the game.
You have to make sure to jump on the bandwagon when something is on the downturn. Theirs no reason to hate on something until everyone else thinks its cool
I do actually like Madseason though, but tbh, I'm not quitting wow and I hope everyone quitting just quits and stops the whole "I SPENT MY LIFE ON THIS I HATE U BLIZZ" type stuff and just unsubs and leaves people that actually want to continue in peace. You dont see me on a forum in Shanghai trying to talk shit in Mandarin about FF14 right.. So again, I just hope everyone gets what they want

People don't understand this. Without the boost i can guarantee there would of been a lot of players who would of never bothered coming back. Anecdotal, but my friend only came back for TBC (He tried classic and it didn't age well for him) so if it wasn't for the boost he would not have even been playing right now.
Is this a serious question?
Because that question feels downright disingenuous.
I'm not a fan boosting, either, but it's stupid to condemn something because people engage in RMT (which against the ToS) and thus one considers the entire transaction problematic.
By that logic, trading between players is already problematic because one players might have purchased gold off some 3rd party website.
Yeah...because Retail the WoW Token for years and the issue of RMT has completely vanished...right?
Dudes got 400k subs and a decent amount of views and that is purely doing WoW videos. So I doubt he is actually quitting, he will be back at latest when a new expac is about to hit and its way easier to get high views again.
He just made the video for attention.

What exactly did they do to target whales? Nothing, literally nothing can be bought more than once. The boost is literally the equivalent of buying an actual expansion, which in a normal situation you’d have done anyway.
There is no recurring item that allows targets big spenders.
Manchildren whinging about shit they could just easily ignore whilst being wholly ignorant as to what it could look like if Blizzard truly wanted to go ham with the cash shop.
Not sure I see the tragedy here.
RMT buying gold to buy boosts only became a Blizzard-sanctioned thing because of player behaviour, buying from (and getting scammed by) 3rd party websites. Also, players wanting to pay their sub/store items with gold. I looooove the token, haven't paid actual money for the game or services or store stuff since WoD.
RMT as in paying real cash for boosts/items (see my sig) and selling gold for real money is still against the TOS. If those 2 ever got the greenlight, I'd start to worry for real.

Maybe, maybe not. But he did also note wanting to stop doing content as he wanted to be a private individual, so it's due to personal reasons as well. He truly might just wanna move on instead of being stuck making content and go through the ordeals that many youtubers and streamers have to go through.
I find it mildly hilarious some people find madseason to be "toxic" in anyway. Disagree with his takes? Not like his taste in games? I can see that. But toxic. Man.. that term basically is used for anything that "isn't all about me, my greatness, and the way I think" anymore isn't it?
Activision puts the squeeze on everything they touch, their greed knows no ends, more wants more regardless if they ruin the product every now and then in that pursuit.
If you knew the candle was fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
He was among the people who influenced a lot of people to at least try Classic which was a massive success, i was very pumped watching his videos before Classic it was even announced, i did not play Classic because i was too bored to do so but i was very happy seeing him enjoying it and getting his Rank 14. He clearly says that the reason he leaves is Life not the cash shop, i hope he gets his thing together and get back to w/e game he enjoys, because i found him entertaining to watch every once in a while.
I think they're probably calling him toxic because in their mind by advocating for things like the boost to not be in the game, he's invalidating some people's preferred playstyle (i.e. playing the game with your credit card) and that's gatekeeping which is clearly toxic/evil manchild behaviour
It can't be an issue of game design philosophies. It has to be dragged onto this dirty, unproductive level so people can celebrate their moral outrage.
