Of him being pretentious?
I guess it felt like there was a shift in the tone of his content around the time he hit 250,000 subscribers and it really ramped up after the incident where a fan showed up at his apartment door.
I think it's kind of understandable due to latter but I feel like he became a lot less personable and more full of himself. It was a lot of little things so it's kind of hard to pinpoint.
Admittedly I haven't watched his content in probably about eight years but I don't image things like his podcast would help.
I mean, I do get the pretentiousness, bit it feels like its more played for laughs as a character and not real? at least to me?
But like I said before, I just started watching him, and i only watch the game videos, none of the podcasts or anything, so I don't have any basis to even have an opinion yet, much less make any solid statements, just curious about info and whats being talked about.. Which is why i appreciate the reply with examples.
Though I could definitely understand a tonal shift happening if some random entitled internet fuckface randomly showed up at his door.
I think it suddenly started to feel like less of an act around that time. I am having a hard time explaining it but he just seemed kind of full of himself. Like he was making himself out to be bigger than he was between the constant rebooting of his channel, less jokes and more opinionated content, and trying to branch out into everything at once.
Just not for me but I feel like those kind of changes happen a lot anyway when content creators grow to a substantial level of popularity.
fair, I'm shotgunning shit from all over.
you were there daily following, so I would assume you'd be more in tune with that kinda stuff than someone like me.
