JonTron Thread

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Been seeing a lot of different people randomly talk about animorphs lately.
I wonder what that's about.

Oh he actually made something worth watching for a change? The blatant temu ad followed by yet another shitty unfunny "remember when I was the flextape video guy?" video was the final straw for me he just genuinely doesn't care.

I have a feeling Jon might be getting back into the swing of things. He has a child and wife to worry about now so he might be looking for the extra income.
But I agree, a lot of his videos the last few years did seem like they were just "hey don't forget me!" placeholders, and legit made just to fulfil sponsorship contracts. Even his last several Halloween specials weren't much to remember.

I have exactly 2 problems with Jon that keep me from being a fan.

1- He's lazy as fuck and it shows in his upload schedule and lack of effort that has been present for ages.

2- He went from treating his fans like fans to treating his fans like his own personal paypigs with the way he only uploads videos when he wants to buy something or has bills to pay these days and nearly all of them suck. That's why his videos have been lacking, he knows he doesn't have to try to get enough views to get paid anymore thanks to parasocial simps.

Honestly, it just sounds like you’re mad he isn't constantly uploading videos, because a lot of this seems like you inventing a reason for something or just making shit up.

Hey if you like substandard content made by people who can make high quality content but choose not to then that's your choice, Jon has a long history of being lazy and not wanting to put effort or work into things that shit is why he left game grumps to begin with, Arin wanted to build it up and turn it into an empire and Jon just wanted to lazily milk it just like he's lazily milking his channel now with these occasional low effort uploads so Arin bought him out of his half of the idea. It's all widely known and plain to see I have no idea why some people refuse to accept the reality that content creators they personally like aren't infallible and immune to criticism.

…yeah, you’re really not helping your case here.

And how is Game Grumps doing?

And how is Jon Tron doing?

Seems Arin could buy out Jon's half of the idea, but not half his audience or his creativity. Jon at his laziest is still more entertaining.

I hate that insufferable two faced shit bag arin as much as the next guy but he DID make some entertaining content before he decided to absolutely destroy his own image and reputation and alienate himself from literally everyone who helped him get where he is by being a complete two faced soylent piece of shit for absolutely no reason. Pre and post adpocalypse Arin are two completely different people and it's as weird as it is stupid and self destructive but it doesn't change the fact that jon is definitely lazy.

And besides gamegrumps has been around for like over a decade now and there's probably over 20.000 episodes of it and some series on longer games back in the day when lets play videos were like 10-15 minutes long had dozens of episodes so yeah I can definitely see burnout being a thing there but jon doesn't really have that excuse because his channel is structured to basically allow whatever he wants to succeed, he just chose to keep copying the flextape video formula. I'm not here to play devils advocate i'm just saying I don't like how Jon went from talking about how much he loves his fans to only uploading half assed content when he wants money from his audience and in my opinion that is no different from spitting in their face and that's why I unsubbed. The moment content creators start shoving soulless sponsored content down my throat or stop putting effort into their videos I unsub, it's as simple as that. And let's be real Oneyplays is better than both of them.

Again, you are inventing things to get mad about. Unless you can actually show me proof of Jon saying “I hate my fans and only make low effort videos for the sponsorship”, I’m just going to keep assuming you’re projecting or whatever it is you’re ranting here. Please offer some proof other than just assuming the same two things over and over again.

You just seem like you’re having a weirdly intense parasocail response to the fact that Jon doesn’t post a video every month or whatever.

Are you serious? The fact that he worked hard and put lots of energy and effort into his videos until he peaked with the flextape vid and topped out his subs/average views and then started slowly but surely putting less and less effort into his videos IS the proof. He's been coasting and collecting ad revenue off of "meh" content for years now because people like you white knight for him and watch any shitty content he puts out and act like it's amazing, you're acting like a gamegrumps fan with how you demand proof of some shit that's right in front of your face because you can't handle people criticising content creators you like. And you say i'm the one with a weird parasocial thing going on? Nigga I just said the guy is lazy. I unsubbed from him months ago because his videos suck as bad as his work ethic.

I'm failing to see where he went wrong. He "structured his channel to do anything he wants and still come out a winner"
Sounds like good fucking business planning to me. And as far as copying the flextape video formula? People liked it. So why would he change it? If it's not broke don't fix it. If it hadn't caught on, he'd probably have tried something else because that's what you do if something isn't working.
My question is why are you on the JonTron thread if you hate him so much? And no one here is saying his new videos are amazing. Actually quite the opposite besides a few outliers. Everyone seems to be in agreement that his old content was superior to his new content. You really do sound like you just really want to hate him and are pissed that people actually somewhat agree with your own assessments. Like you came here wanting to fight.
You're saying that we can't handle people criticizing content creators we like, when you can't handle people liking content creators you don't like

His channel structure would be classified as something like "multi-media" rather than lets plays or artist/animator and the like, youtube channels are set up like that so yeah, he can make nearly anything he wants and it won't be lost in the algorithm as long as it doesn't diverge too far from "person talking about things" which is his usual schtick. And there's nothing wrong with capitalizing on success the issue comes from copying the same video dozens of times and not putting nearly as much effort into the video you're copying, That's just annoying and it makes you look like you think your fans are stupid and won't notice your lack of effort and innovation.

And why wouldn't I express my opinions on jontron on the jontron thread? This isn't a damn jontron fanpage. If some parasocial losers can't handle someone not liking jon's no effort videos it's about as far from being my problem as india's horrible living and hygiene standards.

"Person talking about things" is everybody's schtick what the fuck lol let's players are people talking about the things they play, guntubers are people talking about the guns they shoot, movie reviewers talk about movies they watched, Youtube is full of people just talking about things, there's a whole fucking commentary community of people talking about things, they even fucking talk about PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THINGS :story:
 
Because hate watching the vids so you can go bitch and cry about how much you hate the vids is fucking mega autistic, faggot.
Which part of "I unsubbed from him months ago" are you too retarded to understand? I don't "hate watch" shitty low effort content because apparently unlike you low t simps I value my time and have better things to do. I swear jontron fanboys are just as insufferable and stupid as gamegrumps fanboys and you're too dense to comprehend it. Good luck with that.

So you don’t watch any of his videos, but somehow know they’re all low effort and only made for sponsorship and all suck?

Bro, you are a fucking retard. No wonder your overall reaction score is what it is..
