    It must be so weird to be some unknown random shit head and have a huge youtuber make a 2 hour video essay about all the ways you suck.

      James was doing really, really well. Videos had a million views each and his Patreon was like $150k a year.
      Correct me if I’m wrong.

        Yeah apparently. I had never heard of him before the hbomberguy video and nobody I talked to about it had either.

        Maybe that kind of video is just not something my friends or I am into, so that could be why. Could also be his view count is way off and more bots than anything else. His Patreon being that high I can believe, I’ve seen people throw crazy money at people on Patreon.

        Still, compared to someone with the reach of hbomberguy, he’s kind of a nobody.
