I assumed that once they signed on to be part of the new network, they would stop giving out all of their content for free. But, they still post every show to their YouTube channel, including the ones they film at Ant's house.

How is this going to drive up the subscriptions?

Before the deal they used to put out 1 episode per week, yet now they put out 2 per week.

Surely, the way to go would be to keep the normal shows for free but make the ones from "The Compound" exclusive to the network. That way the non-subscribing listeners are still getting the same output for free that they used to get, but now they also have the incentive to subscribe to get the exclusive shows from Ant's place. I think those shows are definitely going to be better as they get used to being able to play news clips/videos live to the feed and take calls etc. ...But they are still putting this content out for free on YouTube, and without bringing in any advertising money to the network.

People who like LoS but aren't familiar with TACS aren't going to subscribe without getting an idea of what TACS is like. Come to think of it, anyone who is unfamiliar with TACS isn't going to subscribe without a free trial or something like that. He is completely limiting his potential audience to those who are already familiar with him.

The way it's being run is just one short-sighted fuck-up after another.
