The future is bright, I ain't worried

Everybody is talking shit, Chuck is grabbing the broom, it sucks. But we knew this roster wasn't a championship roster, not even close. But for the first time in a long time we're going into the off season with realistic options to change things for the better.

- We have a top 5 player locked in and he's just entering his prime

- We'll have $45-$50 million to play with before we retain anyone

- We only owe 2 first round picks and a bunch of second rounders

- Our coach had another successful season with 50+ wins again

- We have a new owner that's a fucking winner that we know isn't going to sit on his hands

- We are finally updating how things are going to be done with new priorities that's conducive to winning

We have traditionally always done things a certain way but with Mark Walters at the helm things are going to change. I hope they find balance to our roster and build out a team that can crack top 10 in defense, we desperately need it. Luka can take care of the scoring.

I'm excited about the future and you should be too.

I feel kind of relieved, I thought it was just me. Because ever since Simon was removed I have felt a disconnect to XG and I found myself keeping up with their activities less and less. I questioned myself "am I really a Simon fan?", but it really wasn't that.

When Simon was there you had a face to who was pulling the strings, someone to take accountability. You see how he treated the group, he was always supportive of them and was there at every activity, in that I felt comfort. I felt ownership of this group because I was there since the beginning and getting to watch their relationship and trust develop over the years was special. And with every milestone they achieved together that pride grew.

So when he and Chancellor were removed all that magic and genuineness was sucked out of the room and was replaced by an unknown entity. You want to support the group but you don't know who's supporting them. Because if it was just about the music then your concerns can stop at the surface. But if you want people to invest their time and money to be real fans then who is behind them is just as important. XG has never been just about the 7 members, it takes a village.

So how does this get fixed?

Step one, install a new CEO. There needs to be a face behind them that people can trust. Someone to take accountability and to assure people that XG is in good hands moving forward.

Step two, listen to the people. We are not just consumers for you to sell us stuff. We want XG to succeed, but priorities will never be the company and their profits.

Step three, which should have happened a long time ago. There needs to be a fucking positivity campaign of them churning out content of them genuinely and independently showing the fan base that they are happy and healthy. Right now it feels like they're just going through the motions and just doing their jobs with a smile.

It sucks because it's never going to be the same again. All there is left to do is find a new normal. But as it stands I don't like nor trust AVEX.

You know it's an issue when a staple within the community like XGprincess has to speak out against it. Putting Xtra XG videos behind a paywall is a bad sign of what's to come. When companies make decisions that is detrimental to the group or their fan base it needs to be called out. There are plenty of micro transactions that they make money off of, but this content is sacred and there is no justifiable reason to do this to their fans.

I agree that they should have exclusive content for the app if they're going to charge people and they do. but putting content that's historically meant for the YouTube behind a paywall is just foul. especially at a time where their fan base needs to see them smiling and having fun. they used to upload content all the time and now we'll go a month without anything, now this? AVEX is showing their colors with this greedy move.
