His parents support him, especially his mom. Shortly before losing his house, she was doordashing him food and who knows what other support. They're pretty wealthy and seem to love their son enough to not want him to suicide, so maybe they've just accepted him as a mentally ill failson.
I believe this, but knowing Noah it could have been more about people telling him what to do with his content than him actually liking the skits.
2025 will certainly be the Year of the Spoony! Trust the plan!
He doesn't even need to do that much. He could watch a couple YouTube tutorials on how to use something like React and hook it up to AWS and he'd be qualified to make websites adequate for the purposes of the majority of companies.
Maybe instead he should compete with them for scamming the elderly. He certainly has the temperament for a KitBoga video.
You wouldn't understand anyway *hangs up*
And he's not even a non-practicing lawyer.
How much cocaine can $128 of Patreon money buy you, these days?
$128/gram? I haven't used in a decade but goddamn, the future fucking sucks.
I've commented a few times about this, but I'd also like to add, the man was passionate (at least for most of the things he made videos about) and pretty insightful and that made him a draw. I haven't watched many reviewers so i don't know what it's like now or for the last 5+ years, but he wasn't a shill for anything (at least from what i know of him). He was just some nerd like many of us...a very spergy, conceited one but one of us nontheless.
I still watch quite a lot of reviewers and from what I can see it's divided up into roughly three camps: entertainment, edutainment and formal. For entertainment I'd give someone like Dunkey as an example, his videos are meant to be primarily funny but you can also get an idea of how he feels most of the time. Edutainment is someone like NakeyJakey, who does deep dives into broad topics but has a lot of jokes as window dressing. Formal is your Digital Foundry types, extremely matter-of-fact and you'll rarely get a quip.
I always remember hearing stories about Doug and especially Lewis wanting to do more shit with him as Insano, and Spoony pushing back to try and keep the character from over staying his welcome. Then again, he could have just thought their ideas were shit. Considering the way Lewis wrote him as a final villain in one of his arcs, I don't blame him.
In fairness to Noah. He was right to be concerned about overdoing a character. Look at how many characters of Lewis have overstayed their welcome [including Lewis himself].
