I'ma make a point
Ian kind of reminds me in some ways of Jim Sterling.
What I mean is that Ian's main content, the shit people watched him for, was trawling a website (Kickstarter, YouTube) that is an open platform for everybody, finding some garbage on it that (being an open platform for everybody) it would inevitably have, and then shitting on it while being a very edgy boi that says "niggerfaggot."
Jim Sterling's main content, the shit people watched him for, was trawling a website (Steam) that is an open platform for pretty much everybody unless it's porn (and even that's okay now), finding some garbage on it that (being an open platform for everybody) it would inevitably have, and then shitting on it while being very profane and saying "chungus" a lot.
Ian is a skinny nerd, Jim is a fat nerd, neither has the Chad physique.
Jim's very subject matter, being Br*tish, and already having strong shitlib tendencies and the pretended moral righteousness of a consumer advocate all meant his downward spiral would be more extreme and faster than Ian, but to me this just feels like history repeating itself, almost obvious in hindsight though I would have never guessed it.
