I think the Chairman's Rant is when people went "woah". After that places that had been giving them sloppy BJs started to pile on.

What Chairman's Rant? I assume it's either absolutely insane or not that crazy but just happened to be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back and the general public realized this was actually a complete money pit.

In response to some negative press that could've easily been dismissed with a simple "this is bullshit", Roberts instead wrote a 5000 word diatribe about how gamergaters, Derek Smart and the Escapist had formed a conspiracy to get him because they were jelly of his sick crowdfunding moves and genius level vision.

Judge for yourself whether that's absolutely insane or not.

Nice. I was never really interested in the thing so I never paid much attention but the sheer absurdity and hilarity of this whole thing has provided endless entertainment.

It still boggles my mind that people put so much faith in this guy and are completely unable to pull back and look at this objectively. And it is the worst gaming community on the internet that doesn't even have a loving game.

As for length, I abide by "Never overstay your welcome". Short, crisp, and to the point. Plus it makes managing the project easier when all you have is a minute plus worth of video to edit.

And ruining a song that would otherwise praise SC is worth it.

That's crap. He's been making songs and videos about Star Citizen the whole time. Back when he was showing up at CIG Austin with gifts of free beer for the crew and volunteering stage work for CIG events.

The symbolic of a bittersweet goodbye to Star Citizen is priceless. It's sad only inasmuch as its sad to see how badly CIG has gone off course. I mean, it's GOT to be pretty bad if a private investor / former loyalist wants nothing more than to get the hell away from the biggest crowdfunding success in history.
