I can totally see him going into the booktube direction, good niche I think.
same and maybe expanding to like film or even pop culture analysis. i actually find the content he makes not relating to studying/vlogging (his study content is insufferable) quite engaging, thoughtful, and interesting. at least he actually has something constructive to say about the books he reads...unlike some other people *cough* Ruby.I can totally see him going into the booktube direction, good niche I think.
i noticed that as well. ruby would usually describe the books as 'beautiful' or as 'well written', while jack did sort of a good analysis, using different synonyms, expressions, or even a sort of 'abstract' of the book in one sentenceat least he actually has something constructive to say about the books he reads...unlike some other people *cough* Ruby.
I’m just always just weirded out by his choice of pals, like he’s mate with the social climbers and others who just confuse me in terms of who he actually isThese new bookish vids reminded me that I actually like chill/normal Jack.
I guess it's just his Internet persona that I find insufferable, but I'd honestly love to hang out with him irl.
Seems like a well rounded, intelligent guy
Sorry, english isn't my first language, what's a 'social climber'?I’m just always just weirded out by his choice of pals, like he’s mate with the social climbers and others who just confuse me in terms of who he actually is
Basically it's people who are just interested in becoming more "famous" and they usually hang around with popular people in order to do so. People like Carmie Sellitto (dating Kate Elizabeth I think) and Spencer Elmer are examples of social climbersSorry, english isn't my first language, what's a 'social climber'?
It’s a group of youtubers who are idiots, as listed belowSorry, english isn't my first language, what's a 'social climber'?
same!!! i was actually able to watch the whole video through AND enjoyed it too!These new bookish vids reminded me that I actually like chill/normal Jack.

Tbf, I haven't watched his video, but you can't really compare the two. I haven't read the Bridgerton books but I watched the series and the rape scene of Daphne and the Duke is never mentioned. Lolita is very obviously condemning Humbert's actions, and showing him as an unreliable narrator writing from prison...Lolita is not a book that lightly touches on pedophilia and never again, it's meant to show how easily we can be swayed by language and words. It really is a brilliant bookI’ve just watched his ‘Bridgerton’ video and...what is this guy on!? Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that this book is not for everyone but he is so pompous it’s unreal.
I completely disagree with his ‘analysis’ of the scene where Daphne exploits the Duke of Hastings in order to have children. Isn’t this the same guy who read Lolita and thought it was brilliant? The book where a middle-aged man becomes sexually involved with a 12 year old girl. What’s the difference? Why can Vladimir Nabokov write about this stuff and Julia Quinn can’t? I’ll tell you why...it’s because, in Jack’s mind, Quinn doesn’t conform to his standard of literature. Nabokov is worthy of study at an elitist university - a book he feels perfectly happy to bring up in a university interview. Quinn, on the other hand, is just for the masses.
Jack has fallen into this trap where he is trying to appease everyone in order to keep his channel going. We all know that rape is wrong but that doesn’t mean it can’t be written about in books. Get off your high horse Jack!!
Ruby granger also did an AD yesterday for the same thing, they’re all in the same management so again jack needs a slap the money 100% should go to the charity to support those who were affected not some social media influencerI hope to god he was not paid for that ad on the Holocaust Memorial Day
I think someone needs to message him to see if you get a response! It’s unacceptableI have Jewish heritage & I’m not ok with it.. at all
