So, I don't doubt for a minute that them coming out as non-binary is a contributing factor, and the conflict with Justin likely hasn't helped either, but I think some of their decline in popularity is also just because their content has grown stagnant. I was a fan for a while, perhaps I still am, but I'd say about a year or so ago I began disengaging with their work, largely because it began feeling repetitive. I've talked with others fans/former fans, and they've echoed similar sentiment. They're channel is mostly just the Jimquisition now, while they're content used to be more varied, with let's plays, trailer reactions, one off videos about various topics, weird shit they just posted for shits and giggles. Also the Jimquisition itself was more varied, it used to have episodes about a variety of topics, some involving actual amateur investigative journalism, interviews with industry professionals, discussions of controversial topics. Now it's just rants about how shit the game industry is, which yes it very much is and it's worth ranting about but ranting about the same shitty thing every week gets dull.
It's an affect that happens with a lot of YT channels and podcasts, whatever their topic of focus is it become well tread ground after a while and things get repetitive. Same things seems to be happening to , besides the hosts being Libs and Liam being a fucking piece of shit, their episodes are starting to get a big samey cuz they've covered almost every genre of engineering disaster at this point, now only the weird off topic episodes are fun. It's easier to avoid this with media coverage cuz there's always new media but for whatever reason I think Jim is losing their passion for it, seems they just wanna focus on wrestling. Which is fine but I guess the channel is also their income so they wanna keep it going.
I kinda stopped watching them around 2019 for similar reasons, having followed them since I randomly started watching Jimquisition on the Escapist in like 2013. Hearing about how much the game industry sucked just got sort of depressing and I didn't really care about the latest horrible gaming news. They also kinda stopped doing a lot of the funny side content I used to tune in for, like Let's Plays of awful Steam games.
For the past few years I've been watching a lot of Matt McMuscles for my weekly gaming slop
