Ream Stories is having growing pains or a meltdown?

I don't know if anyone here uses Ream ( https://reamstories.com/ ) for serialization or subscriptions, but I got an email today from them that made me wonder what the heck was going on with them. I started looking around and it seems there's something big happening between the co-founders. Longtime CEO is out, and the current CEO is someone who posted a teary-eyed video explaining exactly nothing while trying to reassure current authors. I finished the video more confused than I was when I started watching it.

I hadn't uploaded anything there yet, but I had opened an account a month or so ago thinking I might try it out. Definitely holding off now.

Emilia (looks like her name is actually Destiny) and her husband founded Ream with Michael.  For whatever reasons, Michael is no longer with them.  There seems to be a lot of drama and that video was not easy to watch.  I had already moved my membership to my Fourthwall store, and I'm no longer in the group.

I'll probably check back in on it later this year, but Ream isn't part of my plans any longer. I'm not willing to risk tying myself to a platform that is in the middle of something this messy.

I doubt it will be around much longer. This beyond messy and I don't see how it can last when the guy that did every single thing is gone. A shame. It seemed like a great alternative for steamy romance and erotica authors who found issues selling on sites like Patron.

Oh, I do know that the husband and wife team doesn't include Michael. He is the old CEO who was partners with the husband and wife team, I think.

Originally, I thought the same thing but after looking around I discovered that he is a third party. But that is one reason I said that that video left me more confused than I was before it started. Nothing was clear in it for those of us who aren't part of the community or who hadn't looked into the structure of the organization.
