Talking about the sub-war, Jimmy said in an interview with Jon Youshaei, "I got a little 'this country versus that country'. I don't think Felix took it there, but it even got a little racist in the sub-war before. So I'm very cognizant of it, which is why I'm not leaning into it too hard. I just want to be the most subscribed-to channel. Yes, I have a lot of people helping me, but at the end of the day, I started this channel. I live and breathe this. I am a creator."
