First off, welcome back. Was afraid you were one of the Grape Password Reset Victims. Second, it really shows how Jim has never been financially struggling since the jump to independence. He lost $30K in a year (give or take) and not only isn't struggling but can afford his own wrestling hobby. If he's not loaded, he's as irresponsible as the executives he loves to hate.
Didn't he say something about wasting tons of money in microtransaction mobile shit (which is never his fault of course because disability)?
A long time ago he did. I believe he's said he's "susceptible to that kind of easy spending".
Jim being bad with his money doesn't surprise me since its not an uncommon story to hear someone from a poorer background come by money and they manage to waste it all without realising it, the difference is that since Jim gets his large sum of money regularly (and has done for almost 8 years) he likely doesn't even notice it anymore.
I think the next step of the Jim Sterling Saga is the crying poverty. Not because he's actually broke, but for Jim, not being able to support his life style is oppression. IN fact, I expect him to accuse capitalism of ableism once he can't afford his special skittles.
I don't think we'll see Jim's income fall to a point where he might have to stop living so extravagently for a few years, I expect someone to out him for some bullshit first and than we can move onto the 'poverty' saga.
Because the Math of Jim's patreon and wondering how it works is unironically more interesting than the Jimquisition is.
My man where do you think we are? Autistic cataloging is what we do and in 3 years when Turkey Tom or The Right Opinion make a 2 hour long clickbait retrospective about the downfall of Sterling they'll come here and use these metrics and comments. Circle of life on the internet
Bit of an odd question to ask on the farms.
Nice try stupid bigot, but YWNBAGT is the proper acronym here.
Personally I'm betting on financial ruination through gambling (ideally microtransactions for added irony) because Jim's claim of having an addiction problem is the one thing I'm willing to believe him on.
Everyone has a favourite cow, or type of cow at least, and Jim is mine, because I'm fascinated by people who only need to keep doing what they're doing to succeed but still manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and fuck it up. I can think of few people who've managed to self-immolate their entire brand as efficiently and consistently as Jim.
He will no doubt blame the pro TERF "Nazi" Tory government in the UK for not paying to keep him in his degeneracy.
It's why when Patreon wanted to change how it charged people (taking a fee from the supporter instead of a % of the creator) troons lost their shit. Yes, this would legitimately hurt creators who relied on a large amount of small donations, but it would also stop the endless donation circles since they'd lose money each time the money changed hands.
And yet they still do the donation circle. One wonders how much Jimbo wasted on Patreon pledges every month.
For me, I enjoy the analytics as they show how capitalism is keeping Jim in a cushy lifestyle whilst he makes video after video shitting on capitalism. If Jim got his way and we became totally socialist, he'd lose pretty much every nice aspect of his own lifestyle. He makes so much money that he could be living a very, very nice life with his own house, etc, but he blows all his money on shite and lives in a rented murder dungeon instead.
Iirc Patreon bent the knee and kept the creator side percentage system. I've not used Patreon in years so I don't know the details.
Just without the bumbling charisma of Peter Falk
