What’s wrong wit Jim sterling?

[Natural Love]

Everytime i see him he runs around like a clown. Is he confused in some way or is he just trolling?

[76561198278961361]

him?

isn't it them?

[The Presence]

Better question would be 'what's not wrong with him?'

After TB died, dude went off the rocker.

TB was the voice of reason that could chime in with a 'bruh' to keep things in check.

Now that's a name I've not heard in a while. I wonder what Colette Bennett has been up to recently.

[Electric Cupcake]

Has anyone read James Rolfe's autobiography? I need to get on that.

And I need to catch up on Lindsay Ellis' work. I have really mixed feelings about Channel Awesome and it's fall, but I'm glad so many careers were started by/in spite of it.

James made an autobiography?

last i saw jim's videos they were pretty cool, one on nintendo and piracy sticks out in my brain, but that was a while ago– hell it was before they referred to themselves as "they"
still, looking through their recent videos nothing seems out of the ordinary

They? I didnt talked about his crew i talked about Jim himself which is only one person

I like Jim Sterling, he's funny and pretty amusing. and he draws a lot of attention to gamers, developers, and problems which need attention drawn to them.

When she joined the podcast things were alright

Her and Gavin measured Jim's opinions.

But when Gav left, the entire podcast became less about games and fun, and more about real politics and the tone shifted from 'silly' to 'serious'

It became an echo chamber. All the old heads, like Total Biscuit, are gone, and no one was their to tell Jim any one thing was ridiculous.

Jim would often apologize on the cast for his behavior just a few years prior, and Laura would say "It's ok, you're better now, but forgiveness can be hard if it isn't earned"

It felt like she led every episode

They stopped doing content with Yahtzee . They stopped doing let's plays

What made the channel special unique and fun went away, and it was replaced by a person who is truly anger.

Not just at the world, but their audience and video games in general.

Spiteful and salty content are less for me.

I liked the cheeky Jim of the past, who had morals but still played in the mud a bit

I'm sure some people will disagree, and even enjoy the content more.

But I looked, and the podcast dropped in views about the same time I stopped listening

About 2/3rds smaller in fact.

And it hasn't recovered.
The jimquisition show has maintenaned a level of success, but the view counts should have been increasing.

They were going UP for years, now they are stuck.

Laura Kate dale is one of the primary reasons Jim's content became niche

[Der tüddelige Fußgänger]

Yeah, Jim Sterling

who is Jim Sterling? Is it someone i should know?

[Sixtyfivekills]

Jimmy boy was always a weird one. I remember him defending some trash game and blaming fans for wanting it to not be bad.

he comments on games, does wrestling competitions, and talks about the stuff happening behind the scenes (in game companies, development teams, budgetary stuff, controversies, drama.) - that's all
