"Jim" / James Augustine née James Patrick O'Shaughnessy / Mister Metokur / Jim81Jim / Internet Aristocrat - His autistic videos and the gay beta "sweetie squad" who mindlessly suck his cock.

[Lodoss Warrior]

Jim is smart. He has enough self-awareness to recognize when his criticisms apply to him as well. Like everyone else though, he wants an easy revenue stream to put some shekels in his back pocket.

Jim's generally unpretentious about his human nature. He's biased, he's open about wanting money but despising the way he earns it, and he's sardonic but genuinely grateful for everyone who wastes money on his content of little consequence.

It's really like the Trump and Bernie effect. People stick to him as they do Trump or Bernie because, while they might have crazy beliefs or petty spats, they're at least honest and self-aware. Those are qualities that are hard to come by, now-a-days.

Jim s videos when the muse strikes him are good. I d rather he just make inspired stuff then shit stuff out his last of the the Am I being detained was dry.

The transtastic tales was good and so was his finders streams.

Personally I wish jim would just stop being metokur have metokur die in a fire and just start over and see if the sweety squad finds him again.

Maybe he’s sick with depression and that’s why he finds it hard to deliver work consistently or do much besides play vidya, watch anime, smoke and tweet. I’m not taking a dig when I say that and I’m not making excuses. I’ve never given him money but if someone wants to do so, well, have at it.

Maybe he's got seasonal depression, it's probably like -48 degrees right now in Minnesota.
Well, then again he did do a bunch of comfy streams on stream.me last winter, so idk.

Oh, wow, his Patreon went down like Spoony's did. How about the fact that his website is still down after several months? Or that Noah spends days on Twitter either complaining about his sad brains or talking shit like "I can stop armed gunman with a flashlight"? Hell, he even posted an alert for an upcoming stream and never showed up.

This is what the user you got mad at said
"he was coming close to challenging spoony for the biggest patreon fall from grace"
"biggest patreon fall from grace"

No one said metokur was the next spoony just that metokur's patreon and spoony's patreon decline were getting close. Although Spoony did manage to edge him out both in total dollars and a little bit higher percent.
Metokur declined by 49% from his highpoint and Spoony declined by 54% from his highpoint to about the same period of time. Metokur lost $2153 and Spoony lost $2544. This is a difference of $391.

metokur
4390 - 2237 = 2153
2153/4390 = .4904 or 49% decline
Spoony
4717 - 2173 = 2544
2544/4717 = .5393 or 54% decline

2544 - 2153 = 391

Both calculations were done over a period of about 1 year and one month since that is the length between metokur's highpoint and around now. In spoony's case this happened to be from mar 16 2015(earliest entry on graphtreon) to april 11 2016.

It’s really easy to fool people into thinking you’re perfectly happy and nothing is wrong. I have no inside info but trouble delivering consistently with work, spending a lot of time in isolating pursuits and having active addictions like smoking — while living in a fucking tundra and saying you’re sick with an undisclosed illness — could lead one to consider depression. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Thank you for explaining it for me

Said this before, and I'll say it again.

Null sounds like a drunk Andrew Yang.

That's basically his personality too.

 

[Trig.Point]

It doesn't look like that many of his patreons have followed him over to NewProject2. If he had been more engaged with his regular source of income rather than concentrating on sucking up superchats, more might have followed him across.

Everyone likes making fun of people, and watching people get made fun of.
Most people are too worried about their optics to do it publicly.

It’s not just that. It’s also the money. This is the lolcow milking industry after all. It ain’t exactly Silicon Valley in terms of revenue-generating opportunities.

It's possible. Alternative explanation, Jim recently disclosed that he works for the federal government. Assuming this is accurate, most of the jobs there are of the soul-sucking to anyone with moderate creativity variety.

Jim recently disclosed that he works for the federal government.

What did he say specifically, and are you sure it wasn't an obvious joke?

 

[instythot]

What did he say specifically, and are you sure it wasn't an obvious joke?

In response to "are you a fed?", he used language very similar to:

"Ok, I'll level with you. I am a fed. I work for the federal government"

As with anything Jim discloses about himself, I am not entirely sure it was serious. But with a job so difficult to lose, a lot of his online habits become easier to understand

Sounds like a joke.

You're talking about a guy with the Skype name: iamnotthensa

Could be. But the tone was conversational and unguarded in a chill stream with David Stay. Take your own listen and see what you think.

I could go either way on it, but having a job he can't lose certainly explains why he's laughing at the demonitizations; it was always bonus money anyway

 

[Pomniman]

It was probably just a joke but I'd believe it if it turned out to be true. Jim seems like he could definitely be a spook.

I remember reading that he used to be a teacher?

Anyway whatever his daytime job is, he was making a serious amount of money from his online content, I think it's a pity he didn't pay more attention to it, both for his sake and his supporters.

Null does a stream a week, which is essentially a kind of contract he has with his newproject2 supporters. Sometime he isn't up for it, but he does it anyway, and I don't feel like an idiot for paying $5 a month, in fact it's a nice to know I'm contributing financially to something worthwhile. I can't say I'd feel the same way for supporting Metokur.

That will be for a number of reasons, he hasn't marketed it outside twitter, not much of his audience is watching those weather videos, most people also didn't follow to bitchute his highest rated video is at 146k views on that, plus his piss poor schedule before this shit which killed any channel growth and no one likes paying for fuck all.

I was seeing it, if true, as having a boring mid-level office job and fucking around on twitter to kill time before going home. Plus, those union protected sick days. Although, the hours of operation for enforcement could certainly fit in with those weird stream.me hours. Let me qualify that again with if true

Agreed. Even if we take the most outlandish possibility and assume Jim's a CIA agent or something, the reality of government work, even of that variety, is largely boring office labor.
