There are many here that would be very upset if the “inane commentary” was removed. But that commentary exists in The Sufferfest channel.
Granted it can be a bit much for newer citizens. But the appeal of the platform started with a niche product that was created to make indoor training both productive and enjoyable.
The humor and the intensity of the workouts was, and is, very effective at keeping me motivated. It sticks with me too. When tempted with donuts, when tempted to back off outdoors. “Sufferlandrians don’t quit”.
There’s a huge community of “Sufferlandrians” that helped make the platform what it is today. And plenty of other content for those who prefer more civilized workouts.
See this thread for just one example of the loyalty and the expectations of the community. That said, the inanity will most likely remain.
