I feel like AVGN is just mentally over the YouTube channel, he doesn't enjoy it anymore, but he still needs it as a stream of income. I just assume that he enjoys time with his family and barbecues, and the channel is just a job. I don't blame him, but I haven't watched him in many years.
I'm just spitballing here. But this feels like a common problem in capitalism: it ties us to a job we don't love and drains our emotional energy. Arguably, AVGN is doing better than most of us, and he's probably relatively unhappy.
I don’t think the conclusion is that he’s ashamed of it. Near the end the guy brings up how a lot of James’ movies are just reiterations of his childhood creations. He seems to enjoy “improving” his existing work, or just making it over and over again, despite the reception. He mentions how this mentality was always present but people act like its some recent downfall.
Oh no what did the nerd do now? I thought he was one of the rare good youtubers?

Nothing too bad, he just ended up a (prominent, genre-pioneering) youtuber instead of a film director and he seems to feel greatly ashamed about that.
