The only reason Jim and guys like Totalbiscuit even managed to be worth something once is because the bar set by game's journos was so low that someone being actually negative was unique.
They were garbage then (just look at TB's history with WoW) and never got better. Everyone just picked the bar up off the floor where it was.
The fact that he even involved himself in such nonsense on his literal deathbed speaks more to his ego than anything else. He couldn't imagine A Thing In Gaming happening without him.
They capitalized on the New Media Douchebag, where it's Cool to be Negative (a trend wave they were riding from the few years prior blowout known as Angry Video Game Nerd).
People still ride this wave today. Negativity sells.
I think you're either lying or are totally ignorant of his days past original Cataclysm where he had two very succesful series on YT: The Mailbox and WTF is.
I'm aware he had a later career. His history during Cata marked him as a literal retard who could barely play the games he tried to speak definitively on. Its why he was basically run out of the "community."
That's why he became such a stickler for things like Settings and garbage games no one else would play, because he could rant and be negative endlessly like an Expert without showing his lack of skill at gaming itself.

My only problem with TB is he would pull "both sides mah bad" regarding gamergate.
