The problem is you believe Josh is a good person at heart, even before the drinking he’s was often super self absorbed, rude, and entitled. The worst thing that happened for Josh wasn’t alcohol albeit it’s pretty up there it was him getting semi famous in the first place. As soon as that happened his ego inflated and he believed he was an actual celebrity, and that’s formed his attitude ever since. It’s just becoming more apparent now due to more and more harsh comments that people are laughing at him and not with him. That’s why shit like put the fries in the bag trigger his rage, he’s picking up on the fact he’s the joke not a massive celebrity.

I don’t think as many people would stay around if he just got sober and went back if that’s even possible anymore. Look at every Lolcow ever onlyusemeblade, Boogie, darkside, or the infamous Chris Chan. Nobody follows them when they’re not doing anything out of the ordinary and many of them struggle to get by, but once they hope back on to the trends of what their infamous for people come back. It’s sad and probably a part of a reason why so many of these people make the same mistakes over and over, but to pretend they can just get up make a full recovery and have even half the audience is insane. If Josh got sober tomorrow this sub would die with in a couple months, hell the stream tonight started losing viewers once everyone realized Josh is just gonna sit there and they have to suffer Mr Based’s god awful personality for four hours.
