From what I learned from Jim:
- The last few videos have been noticeably less obnoxious with the pan+zoom because Jim was doing his own editing again.
- Jim touts his editing is better than Justins.
- Despite this, he insists on getting someone else on doing his fucking editing even though he does it better and by his own admission it only takes a few hours to do it.
Who the fuck was financially abusing him?? The woman cucking him??? $100,000 of debt! He's never even mentioned this before.
He also claims he's not rich. If you take $11,000 and deduct 7% for Patreon, 33% for business expenses (OBSCENE and probably twice reality), and then another 33% multiplicatively for income tax (likely twice his actual), he's still making $4600/mo. Doing four videos a week. And he can't find time for his own editing. Nobody is giving him money for the fucking podcast or wrestling shit. This is $55,200/yr after taxes, which is firmly above average in the US. Now factor in that he is an expat and will have a $110,000 deduction for not living in the US. He also mentions that his merchandise "saved him" so that's money on top of what I mentioned.
He also mentions the cornflake homunculus again. I take this as direct confirmation he listens to me because I am the only one that brings up the cornflakes homunculus in the history of ever.
Here's the good advice for Jimbo, from a true red-blooded American crapitalist.
- Do your own editing.
- Stop using stockphotos. Stockphotos are for soulless corporate websites. Corporates are crapitalists and thus bad and evil, so don't use stock photos. Every single time there's a space for a stock video, there's space for a more relevant screenshot, footage from the video game, or just footage of Jim at the podium talking and playing with a dildo or something.
- Justin's pan+zoom technique is literally nauseating. For the love of fuck, stop putting motion effects on NEWSPAPER HEADLINES because I CAN'T FUCKING READ SHIT FLYING ACROSS MY SCREEN. There is almost ZERO reason to use PAN AND ZOOM. Just delete the effect from Premiere! GET RID OF IT!!!!! Forbid new editors from using it, ever!
- Never mention wrestling in any context ever. If you feel like adding a clip of something wrestling related, simply do not do that.
If he followed this advice, the channel will actually gain subs. I bet money. I bet $2000 to whatever LGBTQIAP+ charity of Jim's choosing that if these four principles are followed, you will see a positive subscriber growth in two months.
P.S. Justin, despite being the Pan&Zoom King, has a very reasonable and easy to follow explanation of how Jim wasn't paying him enough. Never forget, every time you watch a Jimquisition, you are supporting the systemic abuse of a poor editor.
