He's already acting like pewds, he copied Markiplier's phrases and quirks, he needed to do stand up like bo Burnham (he's not smart enough or "woke" as the kids say to make the same kind of jokes as bo imo), and the same thing that happened when he hung out with Markiplier is happening with the grumps except he's also adopting their pessimistic attitude towards their audience.
He used to be original and had a niche craved out for himself but now i feel that Jack (with the help of some bad advice) is now an amalgamation of unoriginality.
He should probably hang up the towel soon and go for his big Hollywood actor dream, he'll be good at it...
Don't forget Arin from game grumps is also a voice actor who has a lot of contacts in the industry (e.g. Rick & Morty's writer). Now Jack is doing way more voice acting, which is a shame bc you can always hear
him in whatever voice he does. It's always slightly american sounding with different pitches and amounts of gruffness. Doing character voices for fun while you're playing a game is different to paid work. If he didn't have connections to the industry then I don't think he'd get very far. There are more talented people who would charge less for greater skill.
Also, some people just don't really have what it takes to do comedy. His live show had good reviews for people who were fans of him and his work, but how would that work outside of his viewership? Bo Burnham is genuinely funny, you don't need to know who he is to laugh. The longer Jack tries to do comedy, the more try hard-ish it seems and the harder it is to watch his content. I started watching after he and wiishu confirmed their relationship (I followed her tumblr for art, never watched Jack before her and he's really gone down in my eyes with how soon he and Gab started dating), and over the past 6 months or so it feels like he's started to dislike youtube and his community. Sometimes I'll try watching a video and turn it off after a minute because I can already see that it's not going to be fun, just loudly repeating the same jokes over and over.
btw was wiishu still in their house in October? Because I feel like she stayed there for a long time after the breakup and it makes Jack&Gab's relationship way worse if his ex was still living in their shared house while he was off having fun in a different country with a new lady.
