Why do people like metokur?

[stupid orc]

serious question I've never understood the appeal.

 

[Fuscateob]

Older brother / uncle simulator

 

[Sprate Header]

Having a big backlog of videos making fun of a lot of people who flip the fuck out is definitely a big draw.

 

[The Cunting Death]

He's one of the few people that is reminiscent of old internet culture

 

[hash-slinging slasher]

His fans are either people who:
- like him because he used to do videos on internet drama where he'd either research cringe from Tumblr or would sum up all the entertaining shit from kiwifarms threads, saving viewers hours of reading time. I imagine there's not many of these types of fans left as he's basically a political commentator most of the time.

- like him because of his political videos and edgy attitudes, the edgiest of which which he only hints at in a joking-not-joking-1448lol (or whatever the meme number is for Pastey Power) way. These tend to be the most autistic fans and also the ones who call him daddy jim, which is gay as fuck even though they mean it ironically.

- something something gamergate

He was also part of an internet bloodsports thing, but I have no idea who would enjoy watching 3 mentally ill white guys scream the word pussy at eachother over Skype.

 

[Least Concern]

Hey, look, everyone! We found a zoomer!

Enjoying your last few hours on summer break before you have to go back to junior high by starting dumb threads on KF, huh?

Well, maybe you'll get the appeal of someone like Jim some day.

 

[MediocreMilt]

because you touch yourself at night after donating to Daddy Jim

 

[SandyCat]

For me he gives things a 'charm' that combing through pages of text lacks. His commentary and personality just make things a bit more entertaining IMO

I also like having a summary of events of whats going on in our "lolcow sphere" or what ever our autistic portion of the internet is called. Throw in some nostalgia as he's a l̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ dying reminder of the "old internet" that's slowly fading into obscurity because of censorship and political correctness.

I guess its the same reason why I like to watch Null's streams. The commentary makes things more interesting and the banana peppers and pigeon updates kinda grew on me.

 

[A Cardboard Box]

He used to be funny.

 

[Mexican_Wizard_711]

I wish Jim was my daddy

 

[Niggernerd]

No face man is funee and makes null seethe for some reason

 

[Toolbox]

He used to make pretty good content covering lolcows or lolcow communities. Well that was before he started streaming which reduced the amount of that content and then got cancer.

 

[CryoRevival #SJ-112]

He was always pretty funny to hear shoot the shit.

You can probably just chalk it up to a modicum of 'radio charisma' + 'In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king'
Also he had a good nose for finding content back when that was a lot harder to do efficiently.

 

[Gender: Xenomorph]

Having a big backlog of videos making fun of a lot of people who flip the fuck out is definitely a big draw.

Basically this; brand appeal at this point.

And he's one of the few youtubers that won't stop covering these topics because MUH MONETIZATION. Pretty much all the other 'edgy' youtubers are cucked by Susan and her filthy ad money because that's their only source of revenue and they haven't worked anything other than retail/crate hauling/burger flipping.

 

[WinnieTheJew]

Same appeal as Null's MATI streams but extra smug and with triple the disdain for the audience.

 

[Abbystrans]

Same appeal as Null's MATI streams but extra smug and with triple the disdain for the audience.

Except that unlike Null he actually has a cancerous charisma.

 

[Ketamine Kat]

Back then? Made fun of retarded jackasses.

Right now? Nostalgia of better days of the internet without screeching faggots demanding you respect their pronouns.

 

[byuu]

He saved the West during Gamergate.

I think its more like he sells the nostalgia to people who were never there but heard the nostalgic stories about 'the glory days' from the people who were.

Basically the same pattern as WoW Classic, where most of the players from back then moved on with their lives after a time, but they told stories to the younger players about the glory days. Selling 'member berries to people with no memories is big business.

 

[Fucky Chucky]

Metokur was one of the funniest mother fuckers around and he made good content. Never was there a dud. I heard that he has cancer. That sucks. Whatever he is doing I love what he did to the internet and I love what he has done to the world.
