Veronica’s got a point. I haven’t gone way back with Kyle, but I assume his attitude used to be far more fun & lighthearted when he worked for Disney. I suppose when one of your main sources of income, his patreon, lost half of its value & his new subscriber count is grinding to a halt, he’s a lot got more pressure on him. I could see it make someone without much else going for himself surly
I think it was easier for the veneer of "happy midwest yokel kid gets to live his dream of living in Florida and working for Disney" to shine through
He has no-one but himself to blame for his decline, which has shown that his happy go lucky "aw shucks" attitude was a facade. He's uncultured, poorly educated, has no sense of curiosity, etc, etc. (all things that we've covered ad nauseam).
He chose his "art" and deluded himself into thinking a vlog, with no proven success was a better decision than keeping a fairly stable job opportunity. That was a horrendous decision overall, and he's proven time and again that he lacks the capacity to think & plan strategically.
People stay with Disney for years. Sure it can be unglamorous work in a non-professional role, but it is a company that places emphasis on tenure. He needs to think about his business--well, like a business--if he ever wants any hope of turning this around.
I agree Veronica, although my relatively stable situation doesn't give me axieties, I'd be shitting my pants if I was KP. Except, instead of making diamonds, his failure to launch at 29 means run to mommy and clown daddy for support every time he feels pressure.
