He has yet to hit 12 million views this year, which he will do in the next 2-3 days; last year he hit 12 million by mid August. Being down a month to five weeks in revenue is like, if last year he took one of his checks from the first 9 months and just set it on fire. It's a massive whole that he can't fill.
"
it sort of paralyzes him. He will always be his greatest enemy."
I agree with that, but I disagree about the pride in his work. His product IS garbage, but he has WAY too much pride (read ego) that he thinks these vlogs are actually good. Why should he make them better, YOU are the problem. I agree he desperately wants to be the best, but I think HE thinks and feels like he IS the best; his decline and removal from all media lists is because the hatters d-fam him, not because he is lazy, arrogant, narcissistic, annoying, a liar, a lying conman, a bad boyfriend, a bad boy friend, a bad friend, has terrible table manners, constantly spews wrong information, tries to talk up about things that he doesn't understand, somehow both bottom-of-the-barrel level stupid and condescending at the same time, a bad business man, just plain boring at times, is way too hyper-manic at others, and always seems like a 7 year old playing hooky from school.

it’s just so odd to me bc clearly he’s not doing things right. Off the media lists, views are down, not even a Disney cruise helped that. Clearly, money is tight for him. You would think, he’d do some deep introspection and figure out what he could do to change and make people click on the damn video other than click bait and rage bait titles. And for the love of god, stop eating on camera, or at the least cover your mouth or hell even close it when you chew and clothes completely swallow your food.
