From Glitches
of all, people are tanikg these videos in to context. No one loves the videos because they think it is a masterpiece. Far from it. You would be crazy to think anyone thinks that this is top notch stuff.Second of all, most kids WEREN'T making videos like this. I remember recording F-Zero on my VCR and my brothers friends all freaking out because I some how managed to do this. I remember one claiming that he always wanted to but could never figure it out. So yes, I subscribe to the I know how video in and out works club that you do. So did James, just not yet apparently.Third, not many people are willing to reveal so much content. Good and bad. James has released so much bad material, and always admits it, that it definitely doesn't help him, credibility wise. However, he doesn't really need it. He is never saying that his old videos are amazing. He is simply documenting that he made them. Sure, he could keep them to himself, but he knows that his fans are craving material, whatever it is, and this makes a lot of people feel like he is a real person. In fact, I would say it is this part of him that DOES make him seem like such a real person compared to most internet celebrities.So he made some shitty videos. So what? So he uploaded them? I usually hate when people say stock statements such as if it's shitty then why are you watching it? or If you hate it so much, then why are you commenting on it? But in this case, seriously you are missing the point and tanikg this way too seriously.Yes, there are a lot of people who think James is god. These also tend to be either a) kids/teens who are at the age where their view of James over shadows any of their quality detection. b) People like me who are 26 and like James because he has the ability to make awesome videos yet retain the ability to seem like he is a dude you could, and would, have fun hanging out with without his ego getting in the way.So yeah.
