Not much to say this month, except some figures got a little screwed by there being a fifth Monday in May; other than that things have pretty much carried on as expected.

I guess one thing worth noting is this might be the first month where Jim hasn't had a single video crack 200k views, an especially impressive feat given he had 5 rolls of the dice instead of the usual 4.
i've always wondered how channels can have near a million subscribers but average comparatively few views. are they really dead accounts? bots? never bothered to unsubscribe?

to be fair, i definitely am guilty of the latter. i've only ever unsubscribed in a handful of situations and they're all because the person in question pissed me off somehow.

Old channels especially, they have a large amount of "zombie subscribers". Accounts who subscribed 5... 10 years ago and are inactive or banned.

It's actually not uncommon for views to be drastically lower than subs, and I think a lot of factors play into it. Depending on the platform you use YouTube is really shitty at showing you new content from channels you subscribe to, you might only sub for certain content and ignore the rest, the content in question may have gone downhill over time (or you just lost interest) but ignore rather than unsub, and of course there is undoubtedly a large share of dead accounts. Jim's been at this for nearly a decade now; that's a huge window of time for people to simply abandon their accounts.

To me, what is far more curious is the people consistently, actively unsubscribing from him. I have never seen sustained losses like this before, and I'm not sure how Jim is managing it. You'd think people would unsub in mass clumps and that'd be that, with periodic drops here and there, but it just keeps ticking away week after week.

He lost another 100 plus patrons I see.
You know, I'd rather he lose more of those than subscribers. Like if he lost a thousand of them a month, the chimp out would be something special.
 
The idea of the UK becoming a “theocratic dictatorship’“ is really funny. Pretty sure the Anglican Church believes in cucumber sandwiches more than God.
I’ll be surprised if at least one church isn’t flying the new LGBT flag with the weird brown and pink colours while the church minister complains about the monarchy and government instead of talking about god this week with the Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations.
The Anglican Church is in such a state that they recently denied the ordination of a black man because he didn't support the idea that the UK is instituionally racist like the Church does, which ironically can be used as evidence that the church is in fact racist. The Church is easily the most cucked arm of the state in the UK.

Jim fears religion since any religion holds people responsible for their actions and makes the bold claim that something feels good doesn't make it good for you. So to Jim, the traditional idea of Christianity is the greatest threat to his lifestyle.

Also, I would like to thank Jim Sterling's editor for the Scott Cawthon video for using the KKK to represent religious people, and in turn, showing the world Jim Sterling's open bigotry for any lifestyle/worldview that doesn't endorse his own.

Actually, let me remind you of the characteristics of the man who holds and shows these views:
  • Sex Addict: During his Lootbox era, Jim would bring up how you can be addicted to several things, with sex addiction being one of the more commonly cited one. Given his depraved nature, I'd be legit shocked if he wasn't.
  • Food Addict: You don't self-strain yourself to being 200+ pounds overweight, let's put it that way.
  • Spending Addict: Jim is a hoarder and has admitted so. He brings up he has lots of useless junk that, and I quote: "I don't need but I'm not selling it because it's mine and you can't have it."
  • Mental Illness Maybe: Jim Sterling's mush brain might very well have disabilities. But rather than taking action to deal with them, blames everyone else for playing into them.
  • Broken Relationships: Left [by] his wife. Claims to be in a poly relationship yet still has to go to gay bars to hit on/be hit on by people. Despite having multiple partners, has fewer stories to share than literally any traditional couple on the internet does (seriously, compare Jim's "Poly Brags" with literally any Husband/Wife or Boyfriend/Girlfriend reaction channel and you'll see a night and day difference)
  • Rich In Poverty: Despite making more money than most first-class citizens and being free from the very real problems facing most of the world, the dude is miserable. No, seriously. There are people in Ukraine right now looking after their personal gardens, still going to church, and trying to actually live while this man has the audacity to claim his first-world-government is trying to genocide trans people by not letting kids play along until they're old enough to understand long-term ramifications.
This is less than half the list I want to type, but ya get the point. All of Jim's complaining about faith will always be ironic because he's a walking stereotype of a "Godless Man".

Let's see what the good olde CoE says about the troons:

They seem pretty degenerate trans friendly to me.

If you're wondering what "special interest" rev Tina Beardsley, rev Sarah Jones, and rev Rachel Mann (ironic name) have in troonery, well you can probably guess.

Yeah, troon and priest, no way anyone is getting groomed there.

I can understand Americans being confused about how cucked European churches have become but Jimmy boy grew up in England, he knows full well how the CoE is, he's spouting obvious lies hoping that his majority murican audience will eat up.

I know we just got an update, but it looks like Jim lost another 2 patreons, and 70 bucks.
1654093705587.png


These look like 2 cashcows, 38 bucks each. I was kind of assuming that this was a case of 2 bucks a patreon but if very well might be a few 20+ buck holdouts. I know it is still over 120,000+ a year, but the thing is that these streamers/youtubers do not plan for the future. They are in their 20s, young, become famous, then become irrelevant. They never work a proper job and don't realize they aren't actors, only a small few become big hits. Jim surely has not planned for the future and will be a miserable troon with no experience outside "video game capitalist"

EDIT:

My own post got me curious. Serious shotouts to @Oliver Onions for his monthly reports.

Average patron subscription amount.

December 2021: $1.94
January: $1.93
February: $1.92
March: $1.91
April: $1.93
May: $1.90

Jim is tanking his higher paying patrons. It kinda makes sense cause lots of people aren't gonna notice a 1 buck a month charge to some fatso. I would assume this will plateau with people just not noticing such a small subscription.

But I assumed the same with his sub loss. downward we go.

These look like 2 cashcows, 35 bucks each. I was kind of assuming that this was a case of 2 bucks a patreon but if very well might be a few 20+ bucks a handful.

I think I may have spoke about this already, but Jim and other Patreon leeches are in for a shock when the economy dives into whatever depressed state its approaching here. Its easy to rake in this sort of money off the back of a wild explosion in wealth and speculative value, but when shit gets tough, a lot of this voluntary spending ceases as people tighten their belts. The whole "Support a Creator" ecosystem is going to have a very hard shock when a very large amount of money stops rolling in, and people collecting outsized revenue for shit output like Jim will be at the forefront of that loss.

The dream result would be an actual death of Patreon themselves - who have made it clear they're interested in collecting their fairly significant cut to fund ideological bullshit and stuff nobody needs instead of just acting as a middleman platform. Seriously, they're aiming to pass a thousand employees this year, for a glorified blogging platform with a payment system attached. Of which, less than half are engineering and tech staff. This bloated beast can't die soon enough.
 
If Jim was smart (I said if ok) he would lve on bread and water for 18 months, not go out socialising and put everything in the bank. He'd save easily enough to outright buy most houses in the area he's living and that's assuming he has zero savings already. His current paypig bleed isn't fast enough to derail that plan but the window of opportunity to basically set himself up with no rent/mortgage payment for the rest of his life is dwindling.
 
The sad part though is that when you compare him to your average fat chick using a corset to get a waist/boobs (or even for fun) he's being an absolute pussy about it. Barely any lift in the moob department and minimal waist difference leads me to think it's either loosely done up or the damn thing is too big. If that corset is as tight as it goes then I'll take a bet and say that Jim being a man ended up buying a corset too big because he thought it fitting means it feels a bit uncomfortable when done up as tight as possible and never bothered to google how they actually work before buying. General rule for corsets is if you can do it up all the way completely tight it's too big. There should be a few inches of seperation at the back where the laces are when it's done up, especially if you're buying your first corset because you will need to be able to tighten it as your body adjusts (also because it's just going to fit better if the laces adjust the corset to your body, not attempting to form yourself to the corset).

You can see the back of his corset at the beginning of his video, and at best it is as tight as it goes as you say, at worst it's barely a functional corset, let alone a steel-reinforced one meant to truly squish the waist. The simple fact it is so obviously made to be worn on top of clothes says to me that it's unlikely to be meant to constrict anything all that much, it's ornamental.
 
He says this with such a condescending, almost confused voice, almost as if he doesn't understand the concept of gamers only caring about video games.
As others have said before, Jim is firmly on the camp that "everything is political". And his rationale isn't one like Pericles', that just because one isn't interested in politics, it doesn't mean politics won't be interested in them: Jim wants his, and only his, politics on display. He's the kind of person with little to no tolerance to different political beliefs, because his narcissistic viewpoint is that he is an enlightened thinker and all others are idiots, so when one complains that a work is filled with politics to the point of being propagandaesque, Jim sees this criticism as ignorance no matter how valid the points raised are!

His contempt for his audience is on stellar display here, as he can't simply grasp that people with actual worries in life might want a carefree gaming experience to take a breather from their troubles for a bit, no, they need to agree with him and enjoy things with little value other than being some horseshit propaganda piece!

While him going round like this fits with his humiliation fetish I also think he is praying for someone to confront him for looking like a pervert in public, that way he can claim transphobia when it's actually just a concerned parent not wanting their kid exposed to a fat troon
He craves this shit, he won't admit it but it would be the opportunity of his dreams, fucking over some random person over a minor confrontation just so he gets his narc supply of ego and clout. And if this ever happens, you can bet he won't shut the fuck up about if for years!

Jim is fucking 38, if he has any self-awareness left he knows most places won't hire someone in their 40's without any prior experience. And while Twitch and other places might cater to assholes like Hasan and Ethan Klein as long as they bring in money, Jim has a knack for burning bridges over injuries to his ego. Just see how this bloated fuck treats his own audience, including people who willingly pay him for this shit!

I doubt Jim has substantial reserves for a rainy day, people who make easy money tend to be the worst in managing it. His room is like a Shrine to Consumerism, odds are he spends loads of his patreon cash on overpaying his editor, then on gifts and other expenses on the fellow troons on his sex life, and most of the rest on buying overpriced plastic shit. I doubt he would refuse to get health insurance despite bitching constantly about capitalism, so he might not be able to afford it considering how pissed off he was about the NHS not giving him estrogen pills just for walking inside there!

Every service job near him will either be corporate or packi. No way Abdul is hiring a degenerate guy in a corset who talks about kinks all the time and pretty much every corporate job comes with a social media check which will rule Jimmy right out.

Without having a long ass commute to Leeds to work in the local degenerate bar (which it's questionable if even those places was trooner bar staff) where he uses half his pay to commute he's going to have problems finding employment in service jobs.

That leaves manual work, aside from Jim being allergic to that no way a northern working class guy is hiring Jim to do anything anywhere near his site/factory.

The unemployment in his area is 6.7% and rising (easiest explanation is he moved to the UK's rust belt). Shits going to get tough.

Jim needs to use what he has and what little more he can get to set himself up for his upcoming retirement because there are zero further prospects for his continuing survival.

Whatever happenes he won't be maintaining his current comsooomer lifestyle.

I think it's the opposite.
The hardcore gamer set have enough going on already and use video games as an escape that they don't want subverted into propaganda.

Jim and co. are the ones have nothing else going on in their lives, so they need video games to constantly validate them and their beliefs.

A low-tier donator plateau is possible --god knows I pay more for streaming subscriptions every month I'm too lazy to cancel-- but I did have a thought: do you need to use a bank card to donate to a Patreon?

If you do, when those cards expire and people need to update their Patreon information it may prompt a review of what they're spending money on, or they'll just not bother and all their payments will stop. That's the only way I can really see a significant share of $2 patrons dropping.

Yeah that's always the case with these people, they don't understand the concept of people just wanting to talk about the thing they were there for from the start. if I'm going on video game boards or YouTube channels, I want to talk/see video games, not internal company drama or fat tranny politics.
everyone's got worries and problems, you dont need to bring that shit to your hobbies as well.

I've been around alot of nerd circles, especially toy/transformers ones and there's always that one retard that tries to bring in politics where they don't belong and then gets mad and calls you a bigot for telling them to fuck off.
coincidentally, the few times I knew said retards they were fat, unemployed trannies who lived on the internet 24/7.

You  can just use PayPal, but it makes you choose a card for regular payments, I think you can select it so it uses your PayPal balance first if you have any.

Yeah, my favourite game store got took over in much the same way. Go down play a bit of WH/40k/DnD with mates and have a chill time. Then  those kinds started coming. The ones that wanted a discussion about representation in your game or how this parallels event x or y in the news. If you told them to fuck off they went crying to the shop owner you were excluding them for being a woman/gay/other group and the owner would force you to play with them while they sperged all over your game.

Eventually everyone else just stopped coming and now it's a huge of danger hairs and troons crying about politics with zero actual gaming. I'm sure the owner is sat looking at his dwindling accounts blaming us bigots for it too.
