Genuinely would hate to be him, if you look at his twitter feed he seems to have a breakdown every couple of weeks over people "spreading misinformation" and shit like that. Feels like he got monkey pawed, which is a shame because he should have a dream job.

He's been a whipping boy for TPC ever since getting in hot water over the BW Pokedex leaks, he literally HAS to sperg out over shit to defend the brand because he's effectively been a part of it for longer than he hasn't.

bulbapedo and smogon are all much better and more readable

It's called access journalism. Too bad TPCi cuts everyone that is critic of their games instead of listening to criticism.

Not saying he has to do it, just saying that if he doesn't shill the fuck out of them, he'll be out of the club and they'll fund another fansite until serebii goes down. That's why you don't make your hobby into a job.

It is, but you forfeit your soul in the process. As soon as you get priority access to stuff, the companies don't wanna a review but a GOOD review, and then it escalates from there to a soulless experience of trying thing you don't like and being unable to be yourself so you get the monies. My advice? Just do it as a hobby.
