First, do you know what is E-Drama? No? Google it first.
If you do know, you’re up to speed. If not, read the dictionary for drama.
E-Drama might be the greatest thing happening. No really. It might be even better than those American dramas out there.
Besides using the internet for porn, it’s can be used for searching information or how to repair stuff without calling the repairman that charges you 5x the amount the repair cost or even shop for items that you can’t find on your local area. Of course, being the internet and everyone has access to means to the very ends of the internet, you will find some stupid crap about people.
Aside from stupid MapleStory drama from guildmates, the E-Drama occurred when some of my internet Z list celebrities like people from That Guy with the Glasses (TGWTG or Channel Awesome) and the Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN). Note that I did praise them when they did started off. But overtime, their entertainment value goes down and feels old and stagnant. These days TGWTG only cares about giving stupid meme jokes and pointless cameos from other contributors of their site and I feel like the AVGN doesn’t give a flying crap about his own character.
But when success by one person on the internet also leads to another problem: more copycats. Just because it is successful for that person doesn’t mean it will be successful for you. Having people to copy AVGN style and throw cluster F bombs won’t help you. It’s stupid, it’s immature and if you aren’t nitpicking details and just bitch about how much this game fails, you fail severely.
Want examples? Google search The Game Dude and Irate Gamer (Straight copycats of AVGN)
I still have craptons of ammo to fire at the internet so another journal is in order to write next time. My next target: TvTropes.
TL;DR version: the internet already has adapted to sturgeon’s law (I already adopted it and you can thank the economy for that) or you can roam around in Encyclopedia Dramatica looking for the next lolcow.

James has always cared more for films and cinematography than he did for the AVGN.
He’s always been a cinematographer at heart. Is it because there hasn’t been an episode for a while? He’s been working on the AVGN movie.

Yeah. Pretty much. AVGN started out as bit of an in-joke. There was something like 3 years between the first two episodes and the 3rd. James didn’t think it would explode in popularity and swamp him like it did.
