tbh, i can´t listen to him... he never, never takes a breath and is generally way too hectic for my taste... i personally don´t get the entertainment value in that, but hey, everyone´s different :)

The live streams are just plain awful imo.

I don't understand how anyone can watch an hour plus live stream of someone playing a video game, 10 minutes to do a review is all I can take at one time, and that's using the fast forward a bit,

I know right, I rather make better jokes than Jimmy to myself while racing for an hour than watch him.

And the incessant “No punterino, Jimmer”

Jimmy might not be the fastest on the planet or the most intelligent but he did win an iRacing indy 500 recently and is 2 out of 3 for the triple crown (indy 500, Le Mans 24Hr and Monaco F1 GP).
He's also held his own in the F1 series against real world F1 drivers so he aint too shabby...

I get tired of the YT'ers that only ever show perfection all the time, Jimmy puts his hands up and gives you the mistakes along with everything else, that at least makes him honest and approachable and also beatable.

THAT'S why he's so popular.. He's not a racing god and never claimed to be, just an average Joe showing that even a dude who lives in a shed can be successful...

Do you have any comment on the above reply?

Ah this guy. Isn't he this idiot who streams shortly after his grandpa died and then sits on front of a camera, smiles into it and takes the money from people who think he deserves money for playing games?

You want him to reply to this question?

Broadbent sucks and lives with his Mom deep into his 30s.
Thats all you need to know.
When he is close to crying anytime something doesnt go his way, shows how weak he is mentally.

Holy crap, so much misinformation being spread about Jimmer, this is mind numbly daft from some of you.

1) In the time I have been watching him, nearing on 2 years now, not once has he "begged for money", in-fact, he's often said "You don't need to do that! But thank you."

2) He's very entertaining, approachable and likeable all in the same being. He is humble as all buggery and doesn't pull punches when something happens, be it good or bad.

3) He has not once claimed to be the best/faster sim racer, he sees himself as a shed dwelling pleb that is mediocre racer, at best.

4) He shows emotion, big freakin' deal! Whether it be good or bad, at least he's willing enough to show that he is a human being, unlike those that wish to be perceived as nothing but perfection.

5) If you don't like the bloke, move along. No one is forcing you to consume his content and the only reason you're even making a thread about him, is because you wish you had the substance to do what he's doing, and be successful at it.

If you don't like the content, then why not create your own community doing what you feel is "the right way", and see how successful you are at it.

all celebrities, youtube, tv, radio, etc, "beg for money", "cry for attention" whatever,
not putting jimmy down, I like his videos, I like a few rock stars, and actors,
even if they are insecure leaches on society,
