      @@zacherychapman8474 As far as what's incontrovertible and on the public record, they were caught sharing sensitive user data with other companies despite language on their website indicating they wouldn't. The FTC forced them to pay out something like seven million dollars.
      As far as general gripes with their business model, it has all the same problems as e.g. Uber/Uber Eats: underpaid workers, lousy service due to poor vetting, perverse incentives, etc.
      Could be a typical story of late-stage capitalism, except these guys are specifically targeted at vulnerable people. I'd also add that the very idea of online therapy strips out a lot of the humanity of therapy, as well as the benefits of setting aside a special time and location where you're just alone with this person who's supposed to care about you and your problems. A lousy therapist is going to be a lousy therapist either way, but a good therapist is really going to struggle to make a positive impact under those conditions.

    2nd game seemed crazy not to trade a bishop for a rook+defended pawn+threaten a bishop (after trading the knight as well, moving the queen).. the bishop on d3 is not strong enough to give that up. If they don't take (to save their rook), you can go back and you have a pawn and still prevent castling.

I think this should be your new go to videos, after this do another speed run and another, speed runs that are not really SPEED runs are my new favorite..... (one more also).... Also, don't you still have games from your last tournament (just before Bali) that you haven't put out yet?? I feel like we left that tournament hanging unresolved? Maybe i'm wrong.

    On another more positive note, you apologized for drawing too many arrows, but I really liked that you were going that far. Calculating all those moves and different "futures" is what it's all about and I think it fell very well in line with the title having "advanced" in it. Advancing this purely educational speedrun with theory that matches to what is to come, if that makes sense. I really enjoyed you showing all the different moves, because it also tends to validate the thoughts of me as a viewer.

      not a bad observation and thats true. but i think he didnt like the fact after Rxf2 white can instead play Rxf2 and even though your up a pawn the position is a lot harder to play. the free pawn on f2 isnt as good as losing his very powerful rook. so instead he took it with the bishop allowing himself the pawn and the still very powerful rook that will continue to stare at the pawns

      ​@@danielward7008 This isn't a great take. You are basically saying no matter what he does to get money we should just accept it because it pays him to make content and you personally can ignore it. If he got a sponsor for a company that used exclusively unpaid child labor for its operations, you could ignore it with the excuse "well he's getting paid and it doesn't affect me", but that doesn't prevent it from being pretty fucked up.

    Eric avoids controversy by doing widely-done mildly unethical things. I still like him as a person and would like to play chess with him, but I am disappointed in some of the choices he makes as a content creator.

    This entire comment section sounds like an echo chamber. "Dont get in bed with betterhelp". "Betterhelp is terrible, stay away eric". Let the man make his own decisions. Everybody chirping, companies make mistakes. Go do something with your life, improve something in your life, and let others do the same.
