What exactly do they mean by “flagship”? The Escapist had Zero Punctuation and… that’s about it. Aside from some Yahtzee Croshaw podcasts, I can’t think of anything else worth watching on there.

Hey now, that’s not fair. They also had Extra Punctuation :P
Adventure is Nigh, Cold Take, Design Delve, Stuff of Legend, 3 Minute Reviews, some documentaries like the Spiritfarer one.
They have more, but those are what I watched.
3 Minute Reviews were good, but reviews are relatively easy to shovel out. Their essays were so bad, I started to actively avoid them.
The Anatomy of Sekiro comes to mind in particular. Competently structured but devoid of any meaningful observations.
It feels like these guys where working to meet a quota.

You’re like David Rose running around saying “it’s a write-off!”

So many talented creators have left over bad working conditions. Not surprising it’s still going on now.
