This has admittedly become a bit surreal. The fact she managed to convince him to abandoned the US to isolate themselves in a shit hole town in Canuckistan. In all of this though, there was a comment that actually made me laugh, because of how true it is:
You either die a filthy Frank or live long enough to see yourself become an idubbbz
Joji saw the writing on the wall, and realized his content, while amusing and loved by many, was not sustainable. I am of the opinion that, even if Joji could do Frank's voice without any vocal damage, he would've pursued music regardless, because it's the natural progression of what he wanted to do. It was a goal. Even Maxmoefoe, despite still doing crazy antics with Chad, still has a business goal behind it, wether that's the podcast or selling t-shirts.
Ian has effectively done none of this, and even regressed in a way by doing the content cop on Ethan Klein. You could say Creator Clash was an attempt at making a business for himself, but it's clear years later that was not a strong enough aspiration for him, as he opted to do whatever Anisa wanted to the point that Creator Clash has effectively been ripped from their hands for being a collosal money pit due to Anisa's influence in making Ian mishandle everything. She wanted Creator Clash to fail because it was not her creation, and Ian was okay with this because he can mentally diffuse the responsibility of it's failure on her.
Now, imagine Ian applying that diffusion of responsibility while raising a kid. Everything will be Anisa's fault. It will never be Ian's, even when it really is Ian's fault.
