I think they care, but they don't understand how drastic the change will be on our side. I got more of a "we know they don't like it, but they don't like anything, ugh fine let's get it over with" vibe from Laura and Ernie's 100-minute spin zone.

There are a couple of spinoff clubhouses.

I don't think the staff hates commenters. They were told to sell us on the switch, so they had to take our questions/snark/complaints/outrage about it, even though they're not responsible for the choice.
