SYUTK is referring to a new audio podcast Rooster Teeth is doing called "The Bungalow", in which CEO Matt Hullum and President Ezra Cooperstein (spelling uncertain) talk about the business side of the company.

The factors that contributed to the decision were:
 * YouTube not being supportive as a content platform
 * Previous tests of this with RvB and Camp Camp
 * The new RT website's functionality and the fact that there will be closed captioning for it means the viewing experience is as on-par as they can get it to YouTube.

Yes, FIRST members gave the most feedback on this because they were unable to converse with friends about the show given the large delay. (Which I don't fully understand since account-sharing is absolutely a thing)

I'd like to counter that RvB is, however, heavily narratively driven nowadays. In the Blood Gulch Chronicles? Absolutely not. Now? Yup, ever since Season 6 really. The degree varies depending on some seasons, but it really is.

I've never had a problem with the Rooster Teeth site in my viewing experience, but I know it's been a problem and has also gotten a heck of a lot better since.

The most important thing to remember is that Rooster Teeth is a business, so they want to push FIRST since it's the biggest consistent driver of money they have.

Another important thing they touched on was that they are making decisions in uncharted territory. They have a business model nobody else has because nobody produces web content like they do. Naturally, people aren't going to be comfortable with the unfamiliar. If Netflix/Amazon Video/Hulu and other streaming services had this business model, people would be used to it.
