What are your thoughts on James Rolfe AKA Angry Video Game Nerd?

He has kept going long after his material has stopped being good, and (relevant to his AVGN costume) is balding in the worst of ways (see his Glitch Gremlin reunion episode for an excellent example).

Rather than getting hair plugs, getting a convincing wig (emphasis on "convincing", see his Dragon's Lair pt 2 video) or shaving it all (kind of like Doug Walker AKA Nostalgia Critic), he's decided to really lean into it for comedy's sake, and all I can do is shake my head in pity.

Edit: To lighten the mood, sometimes I sing the line "where did their hair go?" from his Ikari Warriors video, because it is so prophetic in an ironic way.

He probably should've changed what he is doing or stopped routinely posting, just making videos when he feels like it.

The worst thing you can do is stay with the same thing forever as eventually, you stagnate. As again, look at Pewdiepie, he ROUTINELY changed what he was doing and got new audience while keeping his old. Hell I hated his early work with the scarecam reaction shit but liked him years later, ironically around the fiver scandal.
