See, I enjoy following Robert's thread because he's a shining example of Dunning-Kruger, but man, it sure can get repetitive. Dehumanizing anyone not already in lockstep with his beliefs by calling them feral animals, claiming straight white male privilege is a thing, and continued bloviating on the Electoral College. You'd think he'd get tired of reposting the same thing every day, but then again...
For reference, Bobby joined Twitter in March 2011. If we assume March 1st (it's the best look for him), it's been 3252 days since he joined. Divide 211,000 tweets by 3252, and Bobby tweets on average 65 times a day. The man is addicted.
Side note, Robert: the Electoral College is working just fine. What you and simpletons like you fail to grasp (or purposely ignore) is that more populous states actually do have more of a voice in presidential elections. It's just that it doesn't come at the total expense of less-populated states, who have a guaranteed bare minimum of a say in who becomes the president. The goal is to ensure that the chief executive is supported by a majority of the people in a majority of the states, giving them a mandate to lead the nation. As has been pointed out many times before, Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 by ~2.9 million votes. But if you remove California from the equation, Trump won by ~1.4 million votes. Seems to me like the system's working as intended.
Not like he'll see this or even understand it, because he has more pressing concerns, like...
...implying that a Republican senator from Tennessee is actually an inbred hillbilly. Never change, Robert.
In other news, I decided to do a check on Bobby's Patreon, and surprisingly enough, he hasn't been doing so hot of late. From mid-2017 to mid-2018, he experienced a rather notable upswing in his Patreon, going from the ~$3k level he had been hovering around for years up to a peak of ~$4.6k. This coincides with a somewhat noticeable bump in his Youtube subscriptions; not major, but faster than he had been getting subs before.
Ever since then, he's been on a downward trend.
From his peak, he's down about $1200 a month, and it doesn't seem like the trend is slowing down. His Youtube subscriptions are also on the decline (though that's harder to tell now that Youtube obfuscates the exact totals and just rounds to the nearest thousand), and even his Twitter followers have begun to dip in the past month.
Granted, he's still making several grand a month for his shit videos, but that number has been going down for over a year and a half. He's not at his all-time low yet (of what can be seen on Graphtreon, anyway), but if the trend continues, he could be sub-$3k within a few months. It's likely too early to say for sure, but maybe some people are waking up to Bobsolescence. In an age where you have dozens, if not hundreds of more knowledgeable criticism channels with way better production values, why keep giving Bob money for a substandard product?
