Here's hoping for an incoming wrestling arch where he pivots away from talking about muh capitalism and truly crashes his viewbase by talking about wrassling.

I’m happy for Jim that he’s got a job interacting with people in the real world instead chatting with internet weirdos on Twitter all day, even if it does happen to be the closest thing we have to a modern day freak show.

Jim has a built-in audience of autistic trannies, I'd be surprised if it dropped much lower. These are people who will beg for money to spend on a pornographer's Patreon, and Jim is their termite king.

Don't let the relentless screeching online fool you, trannies are still an irrelevant minority in any given arena. Like @Corn Flakes said, Jim's subscribers --on YouTube and likely Patreon-- are mostly shored up by lapsed fans and dead accounts who never bothered to unsub.

Based on his average viewcount I'd estimate his remaining active audience is somewhere in the region of 100k.

A nice little one-two combo of vagueposting and humblebragging. It's refreshing to see Jim just be a general annoying cunt for once instead of a degenerate annoying cunt.

'It's about bloody time'

Nigger you make 15 grand a month! What does he do that means that amount of money isn't enough for him to live comfortably?

I assume he's specifically referring to his wrestling career, because obviously an ugly screaming trash bag with preferred pronouns and a broken back is what the world of semi-professional wrestling has been crying out for.

Vince McMahon* is surely drawing up the contract as we speak.

*I don't know enough about redneck anime to know if Vince McMahon is still a relevant figure.

Yeah, Vince is still as crazy as ever (From Chris Jericho’s latest book):

There’s nothing that he would ask you to do that he wouldn’t do himself. A great example is we were in Orlando doing a show, I had to do press in New York early in the morning. He had me come on his private jet, we flew back from Orlando to New York, had some drinks, listened to some tunes, had a great time, landed at 4:30, both drunk. He goes, ‘What are you doing?’ [I say] I’m going home to pass out because I had to get up at 6:30 for press. He goes, ‘I’m going to the gym, come with me.’ I’m like, ‘I’m not going to the gym at 4:30, what’s wrong with you?’ He’s like, ‘I have to go to work.’ [I say] ‘So do I.’ I get a text when I wake up the next morning at 6:30, super-hungover [and] feeling like crap, from my 72-year-old boss who’s like bench-pressing 275 pounds giving me the finger and this is 6 in the morning or whatever. That’s him, he just works, and it rubs off on you.

But I don’t think Jim’s look would hold him back as much as backstage drama would, I can not see him being able to act professionally in any company outside of niche independent shows, plus I have very strong concerns about his cardio and ability to do wrestling moves without hurting people, he honestly seems like a ticking time bomb where he has a heart attack in the ring or badly hurts an opponent with a basic move.

Actually, here's a decent way to estimate Jimbo's actual subscriber base: just compare the ratio of subs to average views across his last 10 videos. Then do that to a few of the more successful Breadtubers he's so desperately trying to become a part of and put that on a spreadsheet. Engagement metrics across that crowd tend not to vary too much, so those should give you a good point of comparison to figure out where Jim's numbers are without all the dead weight.

I struggle to correctly calculate the difference between Jim's views from month to month for my subscriber report, this kind of number-crunching is outwith my skillset.

If someone less retarded than me wants to take it on though I'd be very interested to see the results.

I took statistics in college an embarrassingly long time ago, so I might give it a crack myself. I don't know who to compare him to, though.

Anyone got any suggestions for some high-profile Breadtubers on youtube (so, not Hasan and other Twitch streamers) to harvest some numbers from?

Hbombeeguy and Dan Olsen are the first two that come to mind.

Ok, so a quick hack I learned somewhere a few years ago for YouTubers who have "core" content as well as random extra "secondary" content that never does as well (example: Jim having Jimquisition then his other stuff which no one watches like Jimpressions, Squirty Plays, etc. Another example is back in the day Arch Warhammer had his Friday lore videos, then random other things through the week, though he has moved all the other stuff to other channels now and gone purist on the main channel) is to grab a sampling of the recent "core" content, average out the viewership on it, and multiply it by 0.8 to find out how large their actual active audience is, as "secondary" content will not give an accurate assessment of viewership we just outright ignore that.

The logic is around 20% of the views will be people drifting in from suggestions or from other parts of the internet, autoplaying onto the video long enough to get the view counted, one off watchers, or rewatches, so by accounting for those and averaging everything else out you can see the size of his current viewership.

Anyhow, I applied this method to his most recent six videos from the Jimquisition playlist on his page. Why those six videos? Because they were easy to get numbers without doing anything more than loading up his channel page and scrolling down.

The average viewership was 217k, multiplying it by 0.8 gives us 173.6k. Comparing that to his subscriber count of 836K and we can say about 20.7% of his subscriber base still watches him. That rounds nicely to 1 out of 5 subscribers are active.

Screenshot included to show his current view numbers for the videos so you can check my math.

 

[Bush King]

Maybe it's the nihilist in me, but I quite enjoy seeing old IPs dredged up and put through the ringer of modern AAA, just to laugh at how badly they've fucked them up. It's actually another angle Jim could take with his channel if he wasn't so bitter and genuinely angry all the time now.

Having said that, I don't think anything could ever possibly top the Silent Hill pachinko announcement following the cancellation of Silent Hills.

It's definitely funny to see. I already have F.E.A.R, Resident Evil 4, Medieval 2, Shogun 2, MGS 2/3/5, Gothic 1/2, CK2, EU3, etc, the pinnacle of theses series has already been reached and watching the dumpster fires of modern games is just funny. The only time it gets annoying is when publishers release a shitty remaster and cordon off the original unbroken game from purchase, or lock in the good games that were released in 2003 behind a pack that's $80 and never goes on sale. This is actually a serious problem of distribution today, where games people widely recognise as absolute classics are slowly becoming abandon-ware or locked behind increasingly byzantine access channels. At least GOG still has a gigantic library but I can see groups like Capcom or Creative Assembly completely memory-holing games that the people working there now didn't produce and never played over the next decade.

Jim could make a massive buck by making a long-form video on this, he could even be equally grifty and release five videos that basically say the same thing, point is that there is an audience for actually uncovering shitty behaviour in the industry beyond going over the exact same micro-transaction bullshit everyone already knows about/talks about. But that would require more effort than simply playing the games for a week and shitting out content when the meds kick in.

The Twitter censors that trannies often cry to came for one them. Naturally, Jim immediately whining about how people who make fun of him for being an AGP freak aren't banned on sight-View attachment 3118164

this motherfucker right here is one of those guys who for years has been proudly and smugly declaring that everything is political when someone asks for video game writing to not resemble the average leftie twitter feed, but the push to allow men to compete in women's sports isn't political?

This sounds like a legit method to me, but I'd point out this month hasn't been representative of Current Jim's average viewership; he's really pumped his views up by milking the Elden Ring topic. His average viewcount in a normal month is actually closer to the 173k figure (178k in February for example), so average viewership is probably closer to about 150k.

Not a huge difference, I know, but I still wouldn't want to give Jim the credit of an extra 25k regular viewers. If some mad lad is willing to trawl back through my subscriber reports there should be enough info to do this for at least 5 or 6 months, which might give use a more definitive average.

 

[Pickle Inspector]

In the news here in the UK a Conservative MP came out as trans and became the first trans MP in the UK, he was previously blackmailed a few years back (A letter sent to his family demanding 20k or they’d out him before an election) and also was raped by some guy but anyway what I’m wondering about if Jim will comment on this since it’s big trans related news and he never shuts up about trans issues but on the other hand Conservatives Bad so I’m guessing won’t want to give any sympathy to anyone who has different political beliefs.

My guess is a passive aggressive take like ‘Hmmyeah that sucks but what about the party not letting troons self identify, literal Nazis! ‘.

Apart from the odd punch at the evil TERFs on their genocidal campaign I've not really seen him complain about UK stuff much, glancing at his tweets he only seems to talk about shit happening in the US so I doubt he'll mention anything about this.

It's important to note that method only works for channels that upload relatively short-form content frequently. It completely breaks down on channels with longer-form content and longer release schedules since the audience dynamics are completely different. Stu "Ahoy" Brown often gets more views on his videos than he has subscribers, because they get shared a lot in between releases. Looks like it's the same with Hbomberguy.

In the end, subscribers are a "clean", easy to understand metric with important-looking landmarks, but views are the real measure of success or failure.

 

[Coccxys]

My one interaction with Jim was on the Escapist before he moved (got yeeted) to youtube (and prior to the autism apocalypse of August '14). He put out yet another capitalism bad video wrapped in some video game topic.

I responded in the forum with something like "Look we get it capitalism bad, now can we get back to gaming content from our gaming series on a gaming site".

The next day I had a very irate Jim in my PMs on some rant interlaced with plenty of insults against me and "gamers" in general. I responded with "Dude, just take the note and move on".

The next day I found myself on the receiving end of a lifetime ban for "harrasing PMs", that was the only PM I ever sent in my entire time there.

He's massively thin skinned for someone who spews such thinly veiled vitriol online for a living. Looks like he never took the note either.

Whoever came up with the idea of covering up the corner of the AGP smirk is a genius.

To be honest, covering it up wasn't really necessary. He's barely even trying to smile there. Either that or he just can't move his facial muscles without cracking that thick layer of plaster makeup he's got going on.

"Living Right now is tough for them"

Right. Because everyone who isn't trans is having a gay old time right now. Jim only cares about people he can relate to. Go support them because Jim can't be bothered to do anything other than [try to] make himself feel better. Jim's lucky this group on Twitter is desperate for anyone with any influence to be on their side because his commitment to LGTB causes is as shallows as Ubisoft's.
