It's telling he's using the negative comments he's hiding and deleting or crying over as his metric.
Yeah, the idea that there are hoards of Food Jacks who loved a mediocre video and are hunting down Jack's e-mail address to send him a love letter about how great the video is a total fantasy. There are maybe a handful of autistic speds on the planet that like Jack enough to contact him, but even they probably didn't care about this video.
Jack picked up at least some idea of self-promotion and hype through absorbing media and during his multiple failed careers. But he sucks at execution and no one believes it because his content is terrible and wouldn't generate any excitement or interest on its own.
When Tim Cook does some Apple presentation and trots out the old "We've heard from our customers, and they LOVE [[product_x]]" line, it's obviously marketing speak but there's also truth behind in. No one gives a shit about a crappy stuffed grape leaves video that didn't even break 2K views, though. It's a mediocre video even by Jack's standards. Maybe I could buy that a few people e-mailed him about a bacon explosion video or another dumb meme recipe or that a couple of people e-mailed him to congratulate him on the weight loss, but no one's contacting him for this pile of shit.
That's kind of what makes it so interesting. Why pick *that* video to lie about?
(Also, on a slightly different subject, there was zero mention of Profile by Sanford or the diet in this video. It's a curious omission. )
Why do Christians often ignore and condone gluttony? You'll get dipshits that try to save queers from their own sexuality but homosexuality isn't even one of the 7 deadly sins. Maybe you could twist it into lust or something, but regardless, none of them form picket lines around McDonalds with "God hates fats" signs. They say they can't just ignore the gays because they want to save their souls or some shit, but shouldn't gluttony be just as bad or maybe even worse? But they actively let fat fucks continue to be fat. Why is it the forgotten sin?
Jack's a cafeteria christian. He picks the stuff he wants to believe, ignores the stuff that gives him the prickly-wicklies, and misses the entire bigger picture in the process.
You could ask Jack to write a few pages on what Christianity is and how it relates to him, and all you would get is sentence fragments of regurgitated pablum. I'd love for him to actually attempt to do this because it would be clear how little he understands about his own religion.
