Surprised? Nope.
Jim Sterling was fairly good in 2016 and 2017 when he would point and laugh at some of the utter shite that finds its way onto Steam and similar, and his porn parody reviews where he narrated the action in lurid terms with a totally straight face were pretty funny. Even as late as 2018 he came out with some interesting and informative things. And his reviews were often fair minded especially of second string stuff. He did dig out a few games which he thought were going to be just a meme but which turned out to be genuinely competently made as well and was prepared to say as much.
Unfortunately... he started to believe his own hype. It was like he actually became the arrogant twat end that he played as his character. Everything devolved into "gaming is fucked because capitalism bad" and oversimplifying things into clickbait.
I'm betting he's had a falling off of viewership and needed to get attention.
Also, I suspect he's decided to be "non binary" because he doesn't have the balls to do it and get the pickle inversion.
