As much as I hope he destroys Billy Mitchell, Karl Jobst has massively disappointed me for the past year or so. For someone who explicitly pointed out that he makes sure to celebrate the good things in the speedrunning community and be respectful of the people he criticizes, he really did proceed to make most of his videos about bashing people he doesn’t seem to respect and barely ever talking about the good in the community. It’s sucks to see and I have unsubbed because of it :/
To add context, here is a broad count of Karl’s video topics over the past year (going back to May 29th):
Celebrate: 8 (5.83 million views)
Bash: 13 (18.5 million views)
Billy (all negative): 12 (8.5 million views)
He’s definitely leaned more into the Billy drama / exposing cheaters & fakers over the past year. People seem a lot more interested in the “expose” videos, so unfortunately it makes sense for him to make more of those.
He at least addresses and kinda apologises for the large number of Mitchel videos - he has to spend a lot of time and energy doing research to prepare for the trial, so he at least uses that to post a video and other topics suffer.
yeah if i was preparing to take billy mitchell to court thats all i would talk about or make videos about lol
plus it seems like a lot of his time and energy is going into that and the topic is similar enough to his other videos that he might as well document it.
All his videos have been him shitting on Billy Mitchell
I am reminded of this quote by George Bernard Shaw:
‘I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.’
