Yeah but josh doesn't envy Elliot. Elliot is a chink tranny who cut off his own dick, raped another tranny, is sustained by hate, and most importantly - is in a different social sphere. What Jim has hurts josh because he sees both himself and Jim belonging to the same category of people, online microcelebs that earn their pay through streaming. But Jim's fanbase doesn't give him shit for petty things (because he doesn't have autistic fits in response to even nasty commends), his social media aren't being restricted (because he doesn't sperg out at random people/events), people are glad to have him as a guest on various podcasts (which he himself admitted on KC that he isn't paid for).
If a stranger who lives in another state wins a million dollars and you don't, you won't care. If your neighbor, the same guy you see almost every day, the same guy you talk to every now and then, the same guy whose life you see taking place next to yours, wins a million dollars and you don't, now that stings. That's why you see josh nitpicking stuff about jim, like sargon-lite "implying" that Jim appearing on keemstar's podcast prompted the latter to influence youtube to remonetize the former's account, even though Jim explained that he got remonetized because he hit the minimum watched hours after the tekken stream to qualify for membership program.
