  • Definitely the furthest thing from a threat anymore.... Another Industry Shill

    It's sad how far he's fallen, you really notice it when watching his old videos and podcasts vs today. Dude is bitter and just become a crotchety old man who complains about the world. He gets most of it wrong when looking forward as his understanding of macro and micro economics of the world is clearly defined by his small bubble the people in the gaming industry are trapped in and why industry is deservedly dying. Go do something with your life my man that makes you happy! Stop telling p... more

  • Crotchety

    Jeff isn’t much of a threat anymore. All he does is complain like a tired old man. Maybe it’s time to stop and do something more meaningful with yourself.

  • Witness Protection Act

    Having successfully escaped clutches of evil corpos to relative safety of undisclosed location in Southern California, Jeff continues to speak the truths. Still the threat and then some. Hang on to each word, the broadcasts are powered by unrivaled energy drink scale rated in hundreds. This is not the last stop on the journey, we can be assured.
