Jim realizes everyone in IBS thinks he's a total sellout. NP2 nets him $500 tops (many pledges fail each month). After Montegraph, he makes no offensive content. He still has Patreon. He makes most of his money off Superchats anyways. He'd be very able to use something like SubscribeStar if Patreon did drop him. His content is not really any grittier than Sargon's at this point.
Problem: People don't respect Jim and anyone associated with NP2 is getting heat for being on the platform at the moment.
Solution: Drop NP2, virtue signal about it, win the IBS crowd back and lose literally nothing in the process.
Lock me in, screencap this, send pictures of this post to my mom. I'm calling it now.
