The conclusion most draw from this is typically, Jimmy doesn't have passion for what he does, it's all about popularity and money. This is not inaccurate, far from it, but it goes deeper.

By being so metric focused, Jimmy has an understanding of what is popular (at least at the time he rose to prominence) but no understanding of why. And that failure to understand is a huge detriment because it means that he doesn’t know how to innovate and build outward from his format.

Beast Games is illustrative of this. The Mr Beast video style translates very poorly to an actual reality show. The fact he had to ask other YouTubers how to build fandom is pretty damning. He doesn’t understand why people like things and mistakes hyperbole for excitement.

Jimmy is in an interesting position. Outside of YouTube, his ventures into real world businesses have largely failed. Lunchly was a moldy disaster and Beast Labs is functionally dead. He's like a kid who cheated on his physics exam and is now in charge of a nuclear reactor.

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

The light is green.

And the answer is, we don't.

The unhoused people who come here seeking refuge 99% of the time understand that they will be kicked out if they misbehave.

The people you have to watch out for are Jessica, who only came because the kid she didn't want had to visit for a homework assignment and she just *needs* to yell at her child for asking to borrow two books or stay an extra five minutes, or Michael, who came in to look at porn on our computers for whatever fucking reason, or Karen who just wanted to come by to throw a fit that the particular book she wanted was checked out and harrass our staff about our collection being too limited.

And we did what we could to help. He was incredibly kind and patient despite his obvious anxiety and stress, more than most able bodied, housed patrons are to us under much less dire conditions. I liked knowing that we were the first place he came.

We have so many people like this who come in everyday. Many are quiet and keep to themselves, but sometimes they talk to us.

They tell us about how they're taking a few courses on a scholarship they applied for from our library's computer at the local community college to get their diploma. Or ask about a manga or dvd or book we might have to help them pass the time.

One woman, who comes in daily with her tattered walker always says hello to me and likes to work on the new jigsaw puzzle with me when we set one out.

So like, treat unhoused people like people. Treat disabled people like people. I don't want my library to feel like the only safe space in the world, but I'm glad it can be one of them.
