I want to see an MMA fighter who just moved to Boston hire Jace as a sparring partner. That may be his breaking point, just like when Carlos Chantor was asked about water games.

I appreciate the thanks, but I phrased that post very poorly. I'm not going to elaborate on this point any further, since DeagleDad420 already did an excellent job of pointing out just why trying to "teach Jace a lesson" would ultimately accomplish squat.
What I meant to point out is that some people, especially someone who either has a current family member serving in the armed forces, has lost a family member in Iraq or Afghanastan (or any other war), or is themselves either currently serving or a veteran may take offense to Jace playing Marine. Such a confrontation wouldn't necessarily involve violence, especially since a person wouldn't have to spend much time in Jace's presence to realize that he has "issues". He may get a strongly worded lecture (which, as DeagleDad420 pointed out, would probably go in one ear and out the other) but not much more. I'm not even sure if such a lecture would carry more weight if it came from Jace's beloved Marine Corps.
The chances of such an encounter however, are pretty slim. Jace enjoys limited Internet celebrity amongst a select group of people. We may find him amusing / entertaining, but most "normal" people don't know who he is.

Some sort of mental illness. Ivan seems pretty convinced he's autistic, but I've heard people argue otherwise. Personally, I think it's schizophrenia/some mood disorder coupled with a learning disability.
Here are some wiki articles that might help you get a sense of what's out there:

EDIT: This post by DeagleDad420 might also get you a better grip on what Jace's exact issue is.

I think you're right about him having a mental disorder coupled with learning difficulties, I don't think he has autism. It could be that he is the mental age of preteen, he does seem to have some of the signs for that, but I don't like to say anymore in case I offend anybody or Jace himself.

I'm pretty sure he's autistic, but he must have some other issues on top of that. He's more gullible than CWC, if it's not autism when he dives for cover as the Taliban raid his home then he's got some major schizophrenia going on or something and genuinely thinks he's a super tacticool muhreen.
(Which I don't believe since he seems to come close to confessing it's all bullshit, as if he's lying to himself rather than actually crazy. But maybe thats how schizophrenia works, I know nothing about pschology)

I know somebody who is very uhh 'normal' & extremely intelligent, he took a few tokes on a marijuana cigarette once & ended up hiding behind some curtains, crying hysterically. I think Jace is exactly the same, completely unsuited to being a stoner, but he persists with it & then combines it with amphetamines & alcohol. Which results in MUHHRREEENN LARPing, drinking glasses of oil & the Hater Hitlist.

He seems to become depressed and somehow even more emotionally unstable when not smoking pot. Not as active in his delusions, such as rolling in the snow at night, but rather in bed rambling about his insecurities and shooting snot all over himself. He's self-medicating when it comes to pot. He needs real medication though but I get the impression his mom is more inclined to try to fix him with Jesus rather than doctors.

His videos barely get any views. To monetize YouTube videos you need like hundreds of thousands of views. Two thousand views will get you like two dollars.
Being a loser douchebag on the Internet isn't a booming business. Unless you're PewDiePie of course.

I feel like people grossly overestimate how much money this makes. People like totalbiscuit are able to make it into a living because they have hundreds of videos all with over 200-300k views at least, and they upload at the very least 1 per day. Jace's most viewed videos have like 2000 views. There's no way he'd make much out of it. Maybe a few dollars, but nothing significant.

Jace would have to somehow catch the attention of a pop culture "trend maker" such as Howard Stern or Opie and Anthony (those guys still around?). I found out about Chris while listening to Toucher and Rich, a popular drive-time radio show on (the now defunct) WBCN of Boston, MA.
Even with the added exposure, none of Chris's videos ever went viral. He has a somewhat larger "cult following" than Jace, but it's still a "cult following". Jace, in my opinion, is even a more "acquired taste" than Chris. (and, hard as it may be to believe, even less likeable).

Not really.
I hear this argument a lot, although to be fair it's mostly from people on /k/ who don't know how to use Google or common sense (all of them, in my experience) There's some guy who posts in nearly every thread and claims We Have All Been Rused because PKD has been doing the whole thing for Adsense views. He just keeps saying it over and over again and nobody really knows why at this point. But to break it down:
-Simple math: YouTube partners make about $1 for every 1,000 views. As of the time of writing, Parkourdude91 has 98,486 channel views, and Deagle Nation has 13,849 channel views, so Jace's two channels combined would have made him about $111 if he had been monetizing it from the start (which would have been impossible, obviously, since you have to reach a certain threshold before they even enable it) So ideal situation, everything else perfect, over his year-and-a-half long YouTube career and all the pain it's caused him, he would have made enough to buy an airsoft gun or a few shitty games from a Steam sale.
-Advertising: YouTube's TOS says that any monetized channel must be "advertiser friendly"; I.E. companies are going to review the video content and decide whether or not they want to take the risk in being associated with this person for a few thousand clicks. Plainly speaking:
Jace
is
not
advertiser
friendly.
-Copyright: YouTube partners can't use copyrighted music, games, or basically anything at all in their videos, and they have to provide documentation. Most of Jace's longer videos are just him playing dumb video games and listening to Nickelback or John Cena's theme music, which (while it can be a gray area) will probably cause him some problems.
-Marketing: Jace's videos appeal to a niche market. Even Chris-Chan, even at the height of his fame, didn't come remotely close to the top 100 YouTube stars, people who actually make a living off it. There's a ceiling on how many people enjoy this kind of content. As eye-gougingly painful as TheAnnoyingOrange and PewDiePie are, they are successful because (and probably only because) they appeal to a very, very wide audience. Jace does not, ergo he is never going to make any remotely substantial amount of money.
-Effort: Due to the math I detailed above, the YouTube "industry" is incredibly competitive. To have a shot at making any amount of money, you have to be putting out top-notch videos every day. You have to be competent in social media and web optimization, you have to understand how to get new fans, branch out, and expand your brand. You have to have a lot of skills, patience, and perseverance that Jace does not possess. Jace's popularity is literally an unfortunate accident. Of course, he thinks the reason he's been so popular is because he's a great vlogger and he's mastered the YouTube game with fans all around the world, but we all know it's because he's a bumbling retard and he has no clue what he's doing. TL;DR: Jace doesn't have what it takes to actually go forward with this.

I'll chime in again on this. As I've said before I have personal experience with mental illness but I'm not a mental health professional. My best guess would be that Jace suffers from schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder (which from my understanding can go hand in hand). But that is only a guess. Honestly I strongly suspect that Jace's use of illegal drugs, alcohol, and misuse of prescription and over the counter medications are compounding his problems to a degree that it would be difficult for anyone but a psychiatric professional to really evaluate him and have any idea what the hell is going on with him.

☝ This.
☝ Also this.
The people who manage to support themselves making youtube videos only manage it by turning it into a full time job. It's work. It's self employed work. And most self employed people don't make it unless they have a slave driving bastard for a boss (themself).
Jace (and Chris and other lolcows) aren't exactly full time job sort of people.
The audience for any lolcow is always going to be limited and uncommon. I like to think it's because we are more intelligent than the mass of PewDiePie and other youtube celebrity fans. You have to be pretty smart to appreciate stupidity on the scale of Jace and Chris etc.DeagleDad420 also said:

My husband, who is pursuing a degree in psychology, is currently working as a Direct Support Professional (DSP). He used to work with a guy very much like Jace. For some reason, the whole obsession with weapons thing isn't all that uncommon. The major difference between Jace and these clients is that they're not sperging on YouTube, or public forums, or whatever. This may be because they're involved in day program, which does a pretty good job of keeping them occupied and out of trouble. (most of the time anyway). Staff would never put up with that kind of behavior.

I have a fun idea.
Give him two real Desert Eagles. Him trying to fire them akimbo would be an awesome demonstration of Newtonian physics for anyone watching behind bulletproof glass.

Maybe in a strictly controlled environment like a shooting range (that had been vacated for the purpose of this little exercise). Then again, I'm pretty sure that any decent, respectable shooting range wouldn't let Jace anywhere near a weapon. Their insurance is probably steep enough as it is.
I'm not even sure that this experience would teach him anything. He may just convince himself that the guns were defective, or that they'd somehow been damaged from having multiple people firing them - who knows?
