How many fucking times do I have to tell you "it's not my opinion?" You're being fairly rude and contentious when I've said over and over very very clearly that I don't know why he's popular if he's not liked and "it's not my opinion" regardless. I don't give a flying fuck about Jim. I think he's obnoxious and I ignore his videos. I'm not deeply invested in him one way or another regardless what you seem to think. Stop attacking me as if I've expressed and defended some heinous position. It's a fucking video game critic, not Neonazi ideology we're discussing here.
Furthermore, can you seriously can't get it through your thick fucking skull without me spelling it out that he could be both hated and loved? That the world isn't composed of one fucking person? That what we're talking about here is the balance of opinion and not cramming one specific opinion into the mouth of every living being?
Jim can have fans, he can have people who love him. If just 0.01% of America likes him and watches every week that's already enough for his "six figure paycheck". Meanwhile the other 99.99% can hate his fucking guts and it doesn't affect his earnings. You can contend all you want that he's actually "well liked and respected" and be snide about the '(nameless) founder' telling otherwise, but that doesn't make it any more valid than the opinion I've given you which again isn't mine.
And why the fuck would I bother making up a story about the founder of the site telling me a meaningless tidbit like that, anyway? What's with this stupid "(nameless) founder" comment? Do I seriously strike you as the kind of person who makes this shit up to win internet arguments? Are you really gonna be that guy who doesn't believe a single fucking claim that don't come with notarized and video taped evidence if its inconvenient to your argument?
Fuck off.
