nothing pays as much with so little effort as youtube...LadyBugB wrote:Jim has not the personality nor the work ethic to do venture outside of YouTube even with his degree. It has been a while since he graduated and so much more information has built up in that field. What are his skills exactly? Unless he goes to school and refreshes his knowledge, I would suggest he find something of substance and current that can parlay into something else. If he has an interest he should jump on that, maybe if he started a podcast and build a following it might help.

Re: Jim Chapman
I started watching Jim and Tan sometime last fall. I enjoyed their trips, and liked seeing their home. I like vlogs that take place in other countries, like to see how others live, etc.
Jim always struck me as very snobbish and very patronizing. I never like the way he spoke to Tan. You could tell he was getting very very bored doing the vlogs. I remember a trip to Courcheval that I was anxious to see. But he was so condescending, "Ok, I guess the room tour is necessary, Tan can you stop talking, here is the bedroom, and bath and shower, and the lovely view from the balcony," all said in this snooty voice.
Then he made a vlog saying he wasn't going to do vlogs anymore, going on to other things etc, but don't worry, he'll drop in occasionally (to do us a favor) with one as the occasion arises. I unsuscribed that day. The first and only vlog of his I've watched since then is the London Fashion Week one from last week. I thought he was better, he seemed to be enjoying himself and didn't sound so snippy. But I won't rush to watch another one. Don't need to be told by him how to make drinks.

Maybe he's trying to make his inevitable descent into obscurity and alcoholism to numb the pain a little more bubbly and child friendlyCitrine wrote:Why is he making drinks? (managed to watch his mojito video and seriously wtf) This is what is wrong with the crap he puts out, he doesn't bother to even research how to do things properly - no depth to his videos whatsoever. He would need depth or personality but having neither makes for a bland video (as crappy as that mojito probably tasted). It seems like now he is just all over the place trying to save his sinking ship .. I would suggest he just calm down, think about what he really enjoys (and is good at) doing and start taking that seriously.
Is he serious??? Like, really? Who in the handful of people who watch are even old enough to drink, or would even bother wasting their time making a drink when vodka redbulls still get the job and tastes just as good coming up as it did going down

Re: Jim Chapman
TBH I don't understand what it is with gleamers and gin all of a sudden, did they realize that alcohol traffics more money than a shower gel? Especially in Jims case it is ironic as a few years ago he didn't drink at all.
Well, way to be relatable in any case

Re: Jim Chapman
There has been a bit of Gin craze in the UK, so Youtubers are just hopping on the latest trend.
I think Jim has started drinking to cope with his dying youtube channel, and growing homoeroticism

I've said it before, but if he did come out, his channel's popularity would grow immensely, especially for the ensuing drama associated with Tanya and then who knew beforehand, and then a new guy in his life and how Tanya would move on after the humiliation. But, alas, he's not gay and his "homoeroticism" is just catering to a dying demographic.
Re: Jim Chapman
I was just on Gleam's site... they made a change to their stats format, and Jim's stats are... wow. Look at the number of followers and subscribers on his social media compared to his view per video. Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl........

Those stats are a few months old as well, it's probably worse now.JuniperJones wrote:I was just on Gleam's site... they made a change to their stats format, and Jim's stats are... wow.

Re: Jim Chapman
i don't think there was anything bad about how he talked about foreskin. it's not like he made some joke about dick cheese or whatever. it's just that he had phimosis and had to get circumcised at 15. cut vs uncut is a big topic of discussion among men. it's a american vs european kinda deal online, basicallydissolved wrote:Talking about foreskin in his newest book and video. Stay classy, Chapman.

Re: Jim Chapman
The amount and time he spends talking about penises is astoundingly a lot which leaves me thinking that he's got a bit of a problem there. Not bad that he does it but it's just a bit much

Re: Jim Chapman
I remember one of his lifestreams where Alfie showed up in the chat and someone asked if Alfie had seen his penis to which Alfie jokingly said he had seen his tiny dick. Jim didn't catch on to it being just banter and went off on how size doesn't matter and that it's all about what you do with it and that he never had any complaints from Tarn. Such an overreaction.cynth94 wrote:The amount and time he spends talking about penises is astoundingly a lot which leaves me thinking that he's got a bit of a problem there.

Re: Jim Chapman
I do think he should drop the penis talk as well. No one cares. I certainly don't think it's a book worthy material.

Re: Jim Chapman
there's only 2 types of people that talk about dick non-stop. the people into it, and those with a size situation
