The issue does not seem to be the need to fact checking opinions but of reporting opinions as if they are facts. When something that is purely an opinion is stated it needs to be expressed as such, and beyond that, the fact it is an opinion right or wrong does not shield one's self from criticism of the belief or criticism for posting an opinion instead of fact.

The point of these comments, Unibot, is that most players prefer to have only one of their five senses occupied by NationStates. Your podcast bypasses that limit. So, a transcript alongside the podcast would satisfy those players.

Almost no one complaining about a lack of transcripts appears to recognize how tedious and time consuming it is to transcribe audio. Speaking as a content creator here.

You're right that transcribing audio is a bitch, but I don't know what the hell you think you're talking about in the first part of your reply. There was just plenty of expressed desire and supporting comments for a transcript of the recent podcast. If you missed it, all you have to do is spend a few minutes reading back.

I was just commenting on how the requests for transcripts do not appear to be balanced with any understanding of the difficulty of audio transcription. If you miss the printed word, all you have to do is not listen to the audio podcast.

If you follow a denial of intent to "bash" TWP with fairly insulting commentary, your attempt at diplomatic alleviation of the effect of your own words - presumably to lessen the negative views of your preferred candidate - is poor.

Quite simple really; these are consumers and they want a product they've been denied.
Uni said he's taking care of it, so I don't see any problem.

I said if I had time I would do a transcript - but it's forty-five minutes of podcast to transcribe. It's unlikely to happen, because at this point by the time it got done, people wouldn't care. Sorry.
