…But, yeah. I agree with you on with him being obsessed with it. I used to think his parodies were pretty funny, and the rap song wasn’t too bad, either. Back then, it seemed like he was saying some well-deserved things about Channel Awesome. But, his insistence on keeping #ChangeTheChannel alive and him continuing to fucking support Lupa despite her proving time and time again to be a vindictive bitch is just… petty.
But, I know why he really does it. Despite claiming it otherwise on his more recent CTC videos, he said it himself on the rap video: It gets him views and attracts people to his channel. 9 of his top 10 most viewed videos are CTC related. He got a subscriber boost when he’d first started making CTC videos and especially with the documentary. It’s still pathetic that he needs to latch onto a long-dead hashtag to get any form of popularity, though.
He seems to have what was/is endemic of the lesser CA alumni (and internet reviewers/analysts in general): The inability to capitalise on what got people interested in them in the first place. The Walker brothers and Brad Jones see such drama as an impediment and below them, whereas Lupa, Armzgurl (with the KickVic week wars shit), and Cinematic Venom see it as a means to maintain some modicum of relevance. That’s not to say that they don’t have their audience and fans, but I feel they should be focusing on them moreso than some asinine internet drama that came to a head a year ago based on shit that happened nearly a decade ago.
