Doesn't he have a framed copy of a Wall Street Journal magazine he was mentioned in?
His other claim to fame is that once, a few years ago, he (read: Jim) managed to beat a children's cartoon stream for a few minutes to be the "top" stream on YouTube at that time of night (he still brings up that time the KS managed to beat the Peppa the Pig cartoon stream in viewers).
I'm surprised he is still grasping for every little excuse to fuck with his so-called friends instead of embracing the fact that he is a petty and insecure
He words things like he thinks a gentleman plantation owner would, but instead seems like he's never talked to real people.
The ONLY reason any of them had any numbers at the time... Tonka, Andy and Baked was solely because Metokur came to them and brought his audience. Andy before that streamed to maybe 300 average, Tonka streamed to 30-40 average and I am not too sure about Baked, but I do know that his numbers rose quick after Metokur and then crashed due to the same reason.
There is a certain type of person that when they experience any kind of success or notoriety, it goes straight to their head, and they start actually believing they're special. They drink their own Kool-aid, so to speak. Pretty soon, that "success" begins to consume their lives, and it leads them to make hilariously self-destructive life choices. The Internet attracts these people in droves, but IBS had a critical concentration of them. I'm glad Jim was there to hand them the monkey's paw. It was as educational as it was entertaining.
To be completely fair to Andy, I think minus Metokur he would still have gotten a decent audience.
Reminds me of David Stay. Metokur watched that corny old show he was in, they do a show together, David starts his own show with thousands of Metokur's audience watching orgininally. Metokur disappears due to cancer. Currently he streams to like 10-20 people.
I think a lot of the people thought Metokur would be around more. He made shows. The shows he went on succeeded because he brought people and money. It could not have been more obvious than his streams thriving with people and money while nearly all the others are nowhere. He promised to go on David's show again long before the cancer stuff and kept putting it off. I think after a point, Jim sees how reliant the other shows are on his appearances, and instead of looking at it as maybe he should help these people out, he finds it embarrassing and ignores them.
