Nah, personally I like seeing him instill pants-shitting rage in large swaths
How many cows did he mock lately? It's all been IBS shit and Mundane Matt. The latter was a pure stroke of luck (Matt would have survived that stream if Wildgoose wasn't there), and the 1st is pure crap, it's so obscure and autistic that it loses any fun it had.
Also, he's not making them froth at the mouth, they're dragging him down to their level. He's spending hours and hours of his life arguing with dumbass IBS/Skeptic spergs, getting into Twitter slapfights with David Sherrat or Kraut, they're clearly seeing him as one of their own now.
He's mocked him on livestreams before, openly. I don't get this mindset that if he doesn't make a video on someone that must mean he agrees/is afraid with/of them.
I personally disagree with this, but I'll respect your opinion here.
I don't think jim really cares or he's just not interested in whatever JF's stupidity is. And people telling him to do it just makes him more resistant to the idea. You can't force jim to do anything.
No offense, but I honestly think it's more like you don't want to question what Jim does. I say this because apparently, superchat money forces him to do shit content for over 6 months. I used to be the same too only a few weeks ago, then I realized that I don't have to settle for bad content and make rationalizations on his behalf, right now, people like Fredrick Knudsen are making far better content imo, even if they don't have 1/20 of Jim's charisma or his 'flow'
I agree that the videos since IBS have had varied quality. With him just makin quick videos covering controversy of the week as opposed to something like Internet Insanity.
That's actually my main gripe with him, I don't watch him for controversy of the week, I can get that with far less effort. I watch him to get entertaining insight on cows or strange phenomenas/communities that I either neglected or didn't know of. Another side benefit is his videos being ok for normie consumption, you watch an internet insanity video and you know all that needs to be known on Terry Davis or Kurt Eichenwald or Gamedude.
Right now there's none of this in most of his current output. There's nothing that I can only get from Jim, that means that his value proposition is dying,
and fast.
But complaining that he steals info from here or that you've already seen it on KF is like a reporter complaining another news outlet reported on the same news. He just makes bite sized vids for normies not the avid KF user. So of course he's gonna use the same sources or KF itself as a source.
He has never claimed that all info/pics where found by him.
I have no problem with him taking content under one
huge caveat: That he adds to it. That is what happens with news outlets, someone reports a shooting at a Madden tournament, another reports that the shooting was done by a white man fleeing the scene, a 3rd reporter finds new info.. etc until a full picture is painted. Jim used to do that whenever possible, or he would add a good insight that makes you think a bit about the cow, now it's all slapfights with dumbass skeptics no one cares about (who the fuck is Bunty King and why should I care that he got cucked or whatever the fuck?), or the odd stolen video, where at times, he didn't even get the info right!
ResetEra for example is mostly run by trannies, not cat ladies, and there is
a lot of shadiness about the way it operates, the way it got founded and the way Tyler's shower allegations we're handled by the original NeoGAF staff (they sabotaged the site to the point where Tyler is still fixing it almost a year later), additionally, there's the possibility of a new splinter board happening, which is driven by the more ardent SJWs on the site, if you look all that up in our community thread, you realize that Jim simply half-assed the entire video, even worse, he teased that he was "going hunting" beforehand, which suggested that he would find new info.
Do you know why he fucked it up? Because all this wasn't really talked about in depth for the last 5~10 pages of the thread. The discussion was mostly centered around the everyday bans and most of what I mentioned has become common knowledge among the thread
regulars. He literally stole the last few pages of the thread and called it a day.
Oh yeah, absolutely. There's a reason people started comparing him to Spoony on Twitter when big gaps between videos started appearing when he got into livestreams. He called the comparison exceptional because he had yet to let a year slip by without producing videos, but the point people were making was that was how Spoony started going downhill, bit by bit, and that like Jim, Spoony had health issues.
The Spoony comparison is extremely apt, and one I honestly didn't think about.
I respect that he has health issues or bills..etc, but the fact that today's Jim doesn't have the self-awareness to see the similarities between him and Spoony means he should get his ass out of the IBS scene and take another long break. And I say this as someone who likes Jim and really, really wouldn't want to be posting in his future lolcow thread.
