It happens bud, just be there for her whatever she does, she's still your mum

Mines the same though..

pfft... I'm done with her. You know, when it's not just her money she blows but yours too. Plus most of my youth memories are filled with her complaining about financial issues.

Was briefly in touch with her later on and when I visited her, her flat was FULL with random crap she bought. Seriously, the stuff just piled up and covered like 80% of her flat floor. There was literally a narrow way to her couch. It's just sad man.

Tried to help her, she doesn't want it. Sometimes you just have to let people go.

 

[LordCBH]

What ever happened with that gun thing he got hit with after firing the warning shot at that weirdo who came to his house?

 

[AJUMP23]

He spent 200,000 on prostitutes.

Not sure on the GAF bit. I may have to give this documentary a break. I am 30 min in and I am depressed as all hell watching it.

Other peoples bad decisions that is amazing.

 

[balls of snow]

Still not as sad as Cryoatic. Now theres a sack of shit. Hurts even more because his playthroughs are alaways pretty good back then.

 

[kruis]

How long before before someone makes a documentary called "The Dark, Sad Life of Jim Stephanie Sterling"?

 

[DeafTourette]

"Sleeping with Boogie was one of the reasons I quit sex work" ooof.

Wait... Did she go into detail? Was he abusive or have an incurable STD he didn't tell her about?

 

[TheUsual]

No notes on that but implied the money she made from him let her quit sex work and get into nursing.

 

[nush]

Not really other than having trouble finding his dick under rolls of fat.

 

[12Goblins]

dunno this guy (I guess this is his most popular video?) but that was fascinating and sad. still not very clear as to what led his "downfall"? his pessimism ? very much seems like a textbook covert narcissist with terrible coping skills

feel bad for his 12 year old inbred gf

edit: i wonder if hes tried that ozampic stuff

 

[kruis]

Some people don't deserve a possible life changing operation ....

 

[Stuart360]

The ironic thing is he could make a nice 3-5k a month living from the views he gets on his vids, if he didnt have these crippling debts, medical problems, and his mortgage of course.

He should sell his house, try and clear his debts, and just accept that he's not a big Youtuber anymore and just get on with his life and his 3-5k a month living, a monthly amount that a lot of full time Youtubers and streames dont even get already..

honestly I don't think he's as broke as he says he is. that's just his "shtick" in order to get the attention/validation that his mentally ill brain so desperately seeks

 

[Kenpachii]

Yea doubt he's broke, dude is way to comfortable sitting there. If he was broke and about to hit the streets he would be far more willing to accept anything lol.

 

[mitch1971]

You’d have to pay me to watch a documentary about this fucking guy.

I'll pay you in donuts.

 

[TheUsual]

Wonder if he actually lost all his crypto in a shit coin scam or if just sitting on a potential deep loss.

 

[Nester99]

I've been watching him on and off for the last few years, probably 10 year actually thinking about it.

He used to be primarily a gaming channel, however there is so much of his life drama that spills into his videos he seems to have focused on that for the last few years only.

I still watch his from time to time but some of the drama he gets caught up in is stuff im not interested in.

He doesnt help himself sometimes either, the e-begging video when he blew all his cash on Crypto.

In that documentary he talks about having to sell his house due to not making enough money now, however he also spent over $300k on hoookers.................................................. reasonable question is why didnt he clear his mortgage when he had all that cash!?!?!?

Divorce, he had to buy his wife out of the house.

I watched this last night, it’s a very valuable text book on how not to live

 

[Portugeezer]

His online persona was one thing, rode the PS4/XB1 hype and personality based content wave well, but his real world personality is quite unlikeable.

7 mins in and already he is a financial moron.

 

[Nester99]

Convicted of a felony. Bad move to make a tough life tougher.

 

[LordCBH]

Boogie won the stupid prize for his stupid game then. He hat an idiot.

 

[Toons]

Saw the interview portion and if the rest if the video is like that I'll pass.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Yeah there is some suspicious math in there, I think at one point they decide to claim that his equity in his home and his account balance canceled out his mortgage and other debts exactly to the dollar. Kind of strange.

Even then, many many people are waaaay in the red so it's actually not even that bad. He can absolutely scrape by with even a modest improvement in his YouTube videos.

I like how his girlfriend is all "well there's no way I could possibly help with the mortgage payments"? Like what? You're 20 years old. You can't get a job? Maybe she should go out whoring and get just a little bit of that $200k flowing back the other way.

 

[Billbofet]

You're making the right decision. The rest is just a pity party for things almost completely within his control to change/fix.

 

[Big Chungus]

from what i read his girlfriend turned 18 just as they met, not 20. dude has some issues

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Only time remember him (I didnt even now his name or YT until this thread) is when people would post that video of him smashing a table in anger.

I dont know if that kind of shit he does is staged or he really is weird. But hey I remembered it.

 

[TastyPastry]

0:40 wtf is that boogie fucking in a tub. didn't want to see this

He apparently has blood cancer now too, and I can't imagine he has health insurance. Those bills can't be cheap.

 

[adamosmaki]

The more i listen to this guy talk the more he comes as a really bad and insufferable douche. He talks as if the world owes him stuff ( he even said he deserves to have sex with a hot model )

 

[FunkMiller]

100% self inflicted problems with no reason for them other than his childish immaturity.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

On the sus $0 net worth math screen it listed $30k in crypto assets.

He apparently has blood cancer now too, and I can't imagine he has health insurance. Those bills can't be cheap.

He referenced $1k as being his 'health insurance payment'

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Crazy. Jim Sterling's YT subs were once 900k. I know seeing that and it never broke a million. Its now down to 768k. People subbing like -5% per year. He must be really pissing people off for people to go out their to unsub instead of just leaving it.

The thumbnails for his videos now would make anyone unsub not to have them show in the subs list.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Holy shit youre right.

I just flipped through his videos list. Talking about seeking attention in his thumbnails:

Now: Big pink font. He's in every picture dressed like a girl. His main room is one of those cluttered collector rooms

A year ago: White font. His mug shot is sometimes in the thumbnail pic

Years back: Rarely is his face in the thumbnail. It would be a game pic with a title

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is quite depressing. And I hate to cast stones but this guy is something negatively special.

Not a serial killer and scum but damn, that is a fucking debby downer twinkie x10. Great doc on the surface but fucking pathetic.

Ugh.

 

[DeepEnigma]

He spent 200,000 on prostitutes.

How long before before someone makes a documentary called "The Dark, Sad Life of Jim Stephanie Sterling"?

It would be titled, 'From tits to a wig...'

 

[norm9]

I won't even bother hatewatching this. I'll wait for clips and gifs.

 

[newtypepilot]

Does he think this documentary will make him look more sympathetic? All of his problems are self inflicted yet it's nothing but complaints from him, always painting himself as a victim. He doesn't really know what it is really like to live in poverty. "Look at all me health issues!!", says the man who drinks mountain dew the first thing he wakes up. lol wtf.

He would be dead if he was living in some 3rd world country tbh.

How do you spend 200k on hookers?
The escort quitting sex work because she had sex with him was pretty hilarious though. "It took me awhile to find his dick"

And that 20yr old gf, just mindblown. "I grew up without father" explains alot. And when he said she's not bring any money in, it would not surprise me if he guilt-trips her into setting up an OF.

If there's anything positive to take from this, it's that DO NOT be like him.

 

[Drew1440]

I'm shocked he only made $10,000 off the Wings fight, which he still managed to waste away.

 

[kikkis]

Honestly him going to play mtg with those guys and making them laugh and getting them pizza was pretty nice.

Worst part about boogie seems to be how manipulative he seems. I guess part of it comes with the territory of being a youtuber.

I couldn't watch it anymore after the chick came to the doc.

 

[Portugeezer]

She is whoring herself already to Boogie, that's why I'm also suspicious about the finances.

Maybe I'm just skeptical, but I didn't feel the true love. Even if he's "broke", there is some low level sugaring going on (so "broke" but spends $75 on a comedy gig date) which I'm sure she is enjoying especially given her absent father issue.

 

[swaffles23]

Dude is so pathetic.. I just can't feel any sympathy for boogie.. I used to be a frequent visitor to the Sam and tolki subreddit befor it got banned and he's just not a good person. Everything he says feels fake and manipulative

 

[Boozeroony]

I feel sorry for her. She acts like a 15 y/o (and looks like one) with huge daddy issues. It is probably not love, just dependency. He gets his fucks, she gets attention. Just two lonely people filling each other's emotional holes.

 

[nkarafo]

Well, he is not stingy at least, i'll give him that.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Can I get a TLDW?

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Trying a second wind recovery piece is all well and good, but authorizing an hour long documentary filled front to back with the dude being dark, depressing, and poor with finances....isn't going to do much to convey the image that he is, in fact, not dark, depressing and poor with finances.

 

[Thaedolus]

I feel bad for the guy given his past and demons but gatdamn 200k on hookers? I got laid before I got outta bed this morning and at least her paychecks go to my bank account

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I want to feel bad for this guy, but he probably does that enough for himself. This guy doesn't seem to love himself. He whores himself and doesn't give himself basic respect.
Fuck, when I hit 215 pounds, for the first time in my life, I panicked, lol. He seems to give fuck all. Also.. 200k on hookers.. Good, Lord... Investments, tax write off by helping the poor, helping 10 struggling families about to lose their homes or what not; 10,000 each. A lot could have been done with that money.

That's why I could give two fucks, aside from hoping he looks within one day, and decides to make the change that will help elevate his life.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I bet Charlie Sheen spent more on whores but he's fucking Charlie Sheen

 

[GymWolf]

Wait... Did she go into detail? Was he abusive or have an incurable STD he didn't tell her about?

The smell was probably something else.

You know how they say, love is blind, but it still has a working nose.

 

[Thaedolus]

“My dick ain’t got a nose”

-Me, probably

 

[belmarduk]

Sorry, I had to nope out when he pulled out his second "meat curtain."
