has there even been a bigger fall in the history of online critics? All he had to do was make the movie
he had so much money, he could have literally payed someone else to do it instead of him. Like hire some poor student cinematographer and they would do everything, and he would just bounce ideas at them
Handing him that much money with the expectation he'd be able to create a movie with it was the reason for his downfall.
He should have had the idea for the movie in the bank before he asked for the money. Beyond moronic and he ruined himself because he basically just did a massive grift without even intending to.
He just should have known he wouldn't have the discipline to do it in the first place and he'd still be making more money.
I criticize Spoony, but i myself don't have discipline to even do a single video on youtube. But Spoony did whole series of videos, like FF reviews and they had special effects, costumes and all. He just had to apply the same energy and passion to movie, he had it in him
He isn't, he's just a self-hating white who lost his oneitis and that mixed with lack of medication broke his hear and soul forever. April mended it for a while but he never got over losing Scarlet.
I have a bipolar friend and I'm willing to bet Spoony has it too. The manic twitter posts, isolation, depressive self pity cycles, manic episodes triggered by alcohol, I recognise all these symptoms all too well.
Absolutely not. The two things are not in the least comparable. Bipolar people have a chemical imbalance that needs careful medical supervision throughout their entire life, and they're also heavily dependent on a strong support system, and they need to be administered with meds that constantly needs to be readjusted, and they all have gnarly side effects, and even then they're not safe from manic episodes. Each episode causes irreparable neurological damage and it's all accumulative.

Hyperbolic nonsense. I deal with 4 people who have been legitimately diagnosed with bipolar disorder and they are fine. As they age nothing happens and I've known them to stop medication because they couldn't get access to it at times. 3 have been successful at landing a career and the last one is at least holding down a job although it's retail. If the bipolar people you're thinking of carved out some more desperate kind of life it's because they had other shit going on outside of the bipolar.

What does bipolar do again, in effect and every day life? Do people just become violent and flipsy one day but the other they're calm and friendly?

Delusions of grandeur when not medicated is a common occurrence. A lot of not knowing what's real. There can be violent outbursts but that's usually through the prism of a shitty human being to begin with.

There are different types of bipolar, with varying degrees of severity, type II can have depressive cycles that lasts months to a year. These have a very hard time of holding down any kind of conventional jobs. My bipolar friend is very reminiscent of Spoony. Went from being a straight A student during high school to being unable to leave her bed for over a year, at the height of her depression she attempted to kill herself.
It sounds like you have a very shallow friendship with these individuals based on your description. They are good at masking their struggles and putting on a "social" face outwardly. If you had any kind of intimate relationship with these people you'd know the havoc they wreck on not only themselves, but also their closest friends and family behind closed doors.

havoc?
Shoot: He had mental health problems since at least high school. Just about scraped through college. Flailed about in the workforce for a few years and then fell into youtube where acting out all the time was not only encouraged but rewarded.
Kayfabe: Something something Lindsay yadda yadda abortion rabble rabble Kwisatz Haderach.
maybe i understand stopping doing his review, but fricking counter monkey is him just sitting on his ass and talking about DnD and he stopped doing even that
he could have easily transitioned to doing some actual games, just streaming as he plays as Dungeon Master, after years of set up i bet many people would pay insane money just to play with Spoony and he could coast even on that income endlessly
The reviews he did weren't even that much. He was mostly sitting in his frickin room and taking footage from other youtubers. Writing it and then reciting it was the most effort he had to do.
ONE MAN WILL DRINK MORE ALCOHOL THAN YOU'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE
Pretty sure the year of the spoony will be where he kills himself.
i'm feelin' it
Ohhhhh yes... I can feel it too... videos are being rendered as we speak.

Lots of people should have done lots of things. The point is it's funny because he's a frick up like any of us except he was given money.
>doesn't produce content or even update the patron
>still updates his wishlist
Pair that with Twitter addiction and you have a recipe for disaster.
maybe he will go into hyper mode since orange cheeto is going to win in november and it will end his slumber
what happened to the CounterMonkey set? Did he sell all the items, books, cards and artifacts?
Dunno, probably rotting in his cellar or it's been sold off when he had to move houses. CounterMonkey was comfy as shit.
The dude is a complete consoomer, there's no way he didn't make Miles make multiple trips in a U-Haul to bring back all his toys.
unironically why did he fall that hard?
he is israeli
thus insanely mentally ill
He isn't, he's just a self-hating white who lost his oneitis and that mixed with lack of medication broke his hear and soul forever. April mended it for a while but he never got over losing Scarlet.

can you even cure being a bipolar?
It's a degenerative disorder, meaning it will get worse with age. Meds can only slow down the process. Pretty grim stuff.
doesnt it get better with age like antisocial?
Absolutely not. The two things are not in the least comparable. Bipolar people have a chemical imbalance that needs careful medical supervision throughout their entire life, and they're also heavily dependent on a strong support system, and they need to be administered with meds that constantly needs to be readjusted, and they all have gnarly side effects, and even then they're not safe from manic episodes.
