Let’s Play Youtuber JimboJameplay released a new video on his Youtube channel voicing his disappointment that nobody actually pays any attention to his videos and just leaves them on in the background, viewers confirmed.
“I just don’t understand. I pour my heart and soul into these videos, and my engagement is next to none,” said Jimbo in his announcement. “My newest video, ‘Dark Souls 3 Episode 465: I may not be very good at this game’, only got a few thousand views.
“All of the comments were about how soothing my voice is when I get mad. Nothing about the commentary, nothing about the gameplay; it’s as if they didn’t watch it at all!”
Jimbo may be right; we interviewed a few of his loyal subscribers, and they had not, in fact, watched it at all.
“I love you Jimbo, but I just don’t have the time anymore. The video was just you dying to Crystal Sage for 40 minutes before giving up,” explains subscriber Flight370.
“I had you on while doing homework so I didn’t really pay attention to what you were saying. I just needed SOMEONE in the background to forget how cripplingly alone I am.”
YouTube “Historians” claim this may also be due to the rise of highlight videos in favor of let’s plays.
“Let’s playing, like glassblowing, is a dying art; there is absolutely no reason to do it. None. It’s so much more engaging when all the boring stuff is edited out of the video,” says YouTuber WombatWanker.
“It’s like watching a pre-recorded stream, you can’t talk or interact at all! Maybe if Jimbo was streaming instead it wouldn’t have taken him so long to learn his videos are boring and lame! Nobody wants to sit through that!”
The top comments on JimboJameplay’s newest video are just fans thanking him for giving them something to fall asleep to.
