Anyone else miss the older OUTLIERS style?

Does anyone else remember the early days of OUTLIERS? Before the viral Olympic clips like Yusuf Dikeç, it felt like the channel focused way more on deep stories of discipline beyond the norm. Not saying the new stuff isn't cool, but I miss the classic storytelling style. What do you think about how the channel has changed? Is the new viral focus better or do you miss the old vibes?

I've been tracking the channel's evolution, and there's a distinct shift in the narrative architecture. While the early days of OUTLIERS prioritized deep-form profiles on mental fortitude and discipline—essentially character studies on what it takes to be "beyond the norm"—the recent pivot toward viral Olympic "moments" like the Yusuf Dikeç hitman narrative or the 4x400m relay comeback indicates a move toward high-retention, snackable content. From a technical standpoint, the production value remains top-tier, but the storytelling has become more reactive to global trends rather than being purely thematic. The "coldest moment" style clips perform significantly better in the algorithm, but I agree that we've lost some of that meditative pacing that originally defined the brand's identity
