I promised myself I would give CDS a full year when I initially signed up. I have wanted to quit multiple times because Chad is such an asshole to the listeners. I have posted multiple times about how terrible I find Chad's complete disregard to the founders. Now I hear on today's show that there were event posters that went on sale but were shared with the Facebook supporters first and they all sold out.

He literally said, "It's a good deal to...I feel like we are rewarding those that support us." What about the assholes, like myself, that went out on a limb and signed up for his fucking show sight unseen!? Those jerks, like myself, who believed Chad's bullshit when he said he had loads in store for the Founders. Those gullible losers, like myself, who were about to quit in October but heard Chad say "Founders, don't worry we haven't forgotten you and have something planned and we will share more details soon." Where the hell is that update? Why not give Founders first shot or even the SAME shot as the Facebook folks?

For all you who will rightly tell me to stop listening, I agree I am being a petty child. For all of you who enjoy the show, I am honestly happy you do and I honestly wish Chad the best. But I am a broken man who lost something very important to me when BOAD died. The boys got me through so many hard times in my life. I have known them longer than I have known my wife. BOAD was something I bonded with my brother over.

When Chad announced he was starting CDS I was so excited. I knew it wouldn't be the same, but I also enjoyed the Rodkast and his other side projects. I even somehow managed to sign up before the subscriptions for Founders even went live (Josh Sroka even messaged me asking how I managed it). I even signed my brother up for a subscription so we could continue to bond over Chad's show. Sadly, Chad has done everything in his power to push loyal listeners away. Chad seems to only care about those listeners who dump thousands of dollars on his show over the course of a year. I 100% understand why he feels he needs to focus on them, but everything seems like a cash grab. From the two presenting sponsors (fuck Monk right?) to the Facebook group he really makes it seem like the everyday subscribers who pay his mortgage are inconsequential. Hell, even those who do pay for the Facebook group are told to fuck off and unsubscribe for trying to be helpful.

I won't be canceling just yet as I promised myself I would give it a year, but I don't see how I can justify continuing as halfway through every episode I find myself put off by his pettiness (which is very ironic I know as I am bathing in pettiness right now). I just felt the need to vent, not change any minds or start a shit session. Please feel free to tell me off I won't argue back as you are most likely 100% correct.
