I've watched Vinny since he was streaming on Vinesauce.com and sharing one account across every team member. I remember when he quit his factory job to stream full time and it was a huge deal, that was an absolutely crazy night. I've been along for the ride for a while but I have to say, I'm really sick of him. Sometime around when the big controversy started last year and he took the break from streaming/switched to pre-recorded content I just got tired of him. I can barely sit through a full VOD now without tuning out due to boredom.
I get it, he doesn't really like streaming as much anymore and he's trying to pivot into a different path in life. I'm happy that he's figuring stuff out, but goddamn his music absolutely sucks. His opinions on music are boring as hell, his influences are bog standard, he has no charisma with any of the other Vinesauce members and I'm tired of hearing him retread the same few topics over and over again while half-assing a game in the background. I dunno if he changed or I did, but I still love Joel to bits.
Meanwhile, Jerma's current content and relationship with his chat has evolved in a way since covid started to where he's almost completely replaced Vinny for me. He's hilarious, his heart is in the content he makes and he's extremely passionate about it. He has ambitions and a love for what he does/the community he's grown and it shows. It contrasts so heavily with Vinny who feels like he's operating on life support and scared of the community surrounding him. The majority of Vinny's content now makes me feel like I'm watching it from a hospital waiting room. It's so drab and depressing.
