I was curious and looking to see if this guy had a thread and was shocked about the lack of conversation about him.
I've been an on and off viewer of him since the Switch era. Found out about him via a collab he did with ReviewTechUSA back in like 2017 (can be found on Archive.org here
https://archive.org/details/rtustre...Block+-+The+Nintendo+Debate+[bb8kiRwWxSE].mp4 since Rich went full retarded and deleted his channel)
Josh has always come off as very opinionated and he lacks any kind of self awareness. The dude should've known to keep his conservative opinions to himself when he's working in games journalism - a sphere that is dominated by left wing politics. Spouting off on twitter was never going to help his brand, but he did it for years and it did nothing but hurt him.
I had found out about the gay porn shit years ago and just kind of wrote it off as he was young and stupid and maybe he was just very misguided at that time. It seemed to be a short lived thing. However, this whole thing with this LATEX DIAPER BUSINESS is insane. Holy shit. How has this not been a sticking point for trolls all these years? I'm just finding out about all this now, and it seems like that business has failed as well. I mean, fucking duh. It's latex fetish diapers lol
You also gotta love how this guy never commits to anything. Promised these Paper Mario holiday specials, and never delivered. Promised to leave the TheBitBlock for good, and returned within a year and half to 2 years. He even said in the vid "This is a 100% done deal, guys. I'm not returning after this" or something along those lines. He never sticks to a plan, it seems, and he just expects his viewers to be along for the ride. I'm guessing since he saw his other channel, JT Shine, failing to grow at all, he decided to return to TheBitBlock just to have that bigger audience of people.
And there are many times when this dude comes off as an elitist prick. As someone else mentioned in this thread, he lives next door to his parents. I truly think he's just a trust fund kid living off of mommy and daddy's money. He never mentions about working, having a job, etc. For the longest time, YouTube WAS his job. And he hasn't regularly been uploading for years. He's just kind of treating it like a casual hobby.
And finally, now we're here. After all these years of him raging at Nintendo during the Switch-era, he is deep throating this company right now even though they are at their most greedy and anti-consumer peak. We got so many new entries for Nintendo throughout the Switch - Metroid Dread, 2 new Wario Ware games, New Pokemon Snap, the list goes on. And this dude bitched the entire time during one of Nintendo's greatest generations. Now, they're over charging for games (both new AND old releases), introducing these dumb fucking key cards that don't have the games on them, and putting out uninspired shit like Mario Kart World. Seriously, if you put this game side by side with MK8 deluxe, it's hard to tell them apart. And yet they are charging $80 for this.
And what does ole Joshy think of all this? Well, he couldn't be more ecstatic. He mentioned in a recent stream that "Nintendo is realizing that they are luxury brand and they are capitalizing on it finally" or something along those lines. Which he thought was a good thing for the company. Yes, isn't that great? Nintendo is following the foot steps of companies like Apple or Disney.
Fuck Nintendo and fuck Josh for supporting this bull shit
