Reading ED and consooming animes isn't spending whole adult life on the internet or at least not in a way that would make you interesting to listen to. To provide a clearer example, someone like Jewsh has quite a few insights because he constantly hanged out around CWC, 8chan, SomethingAwful and such, so he can talk about Hotwheel's religious affiliation or play calls of Schmorky back from 2016 on demand. Jim on the other hand is always an outsider looking in, having no insider knowledge. Most other internet personalities can compensate for that with outsider experience, like i.e. Rekieta and his law knowledge, but Jim has wasted his time consooming and hasn't developed unique skillsets or opinions.How can you say he has no “special life experience?” He’s spent his whole adult life on the internet.
Maybe it's just a problem of being overly online personally, but it always seems to me like Jim is clueless about the things he's talking about. He's probably good content for absolute normies, but why would one listen to re-tellings of ED articles and KF threads when one could read those himself.
It does sound pretty gay and is exactly the thing I was talking about. Jim is nostalgia fuel for people, maybe comfort streamer, but clearly not straightforward entertainment.Because he's just the gold standard. Maybe this sounds gay but watching his videos takes me back to the late 2000s when I was reading ED articles when it was still fresh. The old fun-loving attitude of laughing at retards just lives on in a pure form inside Jim.
