Oddly enough, Jace can actually be somewhat competent at things when he tries to put effort into them. It's just that it only happens rarely. He's tried really hard to improve the general production quality of his streams since he started, and brought in several people (including aliases of mine/people I know) to help him with multimedia and promotion for the streams, scheduling, and planning out time-slots for his segments...
So Jace is the gamer-retard version of George W. Bush - an D student who semi-competently delegates tasks to C+ students. (I've had one or two bosses like that.)
It's somewhat impressive the work that goes on behind the scenes. Most people don't know, for example, that he pre-scripts his Fact Zone rants beforehand (which is the main reason that he actually sounds coherent and manages to use big words in these rants, a big step away from the usual "and uh like ok ok ok that's basically what i believe because that's what I think and/or such as content if you will" psychobabble he's famous for)
So did CWC, but I think it's more fun to watch them spontaneously chimp out. Their scripted stuff is usually more cringe-inducing than funny.
Another example is him asking Tyce to fill screen time talking about his dead rapper conspiracy theories once. He has an actually pretty good idea of pacing and goes through a lot of effort to keep the streams from being boring, which shows that he actually does care about his fans in some way, even if it's only a ploy to get more famous so his dipshit "fans" can stroke his ego.
Does Jace really have fans? Or are they just trolls stringing him along? I have a hard time imagining what kind of incredible dumbfuck would actually look up to a pile of manure like Jace.
The recent chapters in Tiberius Rising have risen in quality considerably in terms of grammar and sentence structure as well, even though the plot is still dreadfully self-absorbed racist wankfiction but I don't think that can be helped.
Somewhere between "My Immortal" and Joan Didion? (If Joan Didion was in the KKK, that is.)
tl;dr: If Jace actually sets himself a goal, he is capable of being a pretty hard worker (for a stoner manchild, at least) It's one of his few redeeming qualities.
Well, I guess I can see your point, though I think your setting a really really really low bar.
