People keep comparing Jim to Spoony but as far as I've gathered Spoony was on a steady decline, isn't Jim exactly the same as always? He doesn't keep deadlines and he promises videos he never keeps, but this has always been the case as far as I can remember?
The comparison to spoony, IMHO, boils down to the same decaying orbit. They're fundamentally different in one critical way.
Spoony stopped giving a shit about his obligations and just eventually retreated into Twitter slapfighting and zero-effort content no one but the most desperate of his audience likes.
Jim has focused entirely on his audience, and in trying to appease it, began Twitter slapfighting and putting out zero-effort content no one but the hardcore of his audience likes.
There's other differences, of course, but the similarities are pretty spot-on. Unlike Spoony, Jim has the potential to pull out of it if he actually wanted to, but if he did, certain parties within his audience are going to go off the reservation, and take their stockpile of Tendies with them.
