History YMMV / ProJared

* MemeticMutation:
** ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' is better than Jared.[[labelnote:Explanation]]After it was revealed Jared cheated on his wife and sent nudes to minors, the comments section of Jared's ''Sonic Adventure 2'' review are filled to the brim with roasts.[[/labelnote]]

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The “Dyuks” gag is a lot harder to swallow after it was revealed Jared cheated on his wife and allegedly sent dick pics to other women, including '''minors'''.

** In his "Worst Console Ever" video, Jared gives the console a broken marriage out of ten. In 2019, his wife divorced with Jared upon discovering that he had an affair with Holly Conrad.
** Jared's playthrough of ''Super Seducer'', in which he rips into the game's creator for being a sleazy pick-up artist and misogynistic creep, is ''much'' harder to watch in light of his abusing Heidi and exploiting fans for nudes.
** His ''Sailor Moon'' review is also much harder to watch after it was revealed that he sent sexually suggestive pictures of him in his Sailor Mercury cosplay, and after being accused of soliciting nudes from underage fans (considering how Sailor Mercury is herself underage).
** Many of his collab LP's with other channels are now considered a lot more awkward after the May 9th revelations.

** Jared's ex-wife accused him of {{gaslighting}} her, sending and soliciting explicit photographs to and from underage fans (who corroborated this allegation online), and having an affair with [[WebVideo/GameGrumps Holly Conrad]] (with whom he also exchanged explicit photos). After this was revealed, Jared lost over one hundred thousand subscribers in one day, and faced massive public backlash for his post downplaying the divorce as an amicable splitting.

** “Yes. I cheated. And I’m okay with that.” [[labelnote:Explanation]] A line from ‘Two Worlds’ with Jared admitting to using cheat codes on the game. This was used to mock him after it was revealed he cheated on his wife.[[/labelnote]]
** "A broken marriage/10." [[labelnote:Explanation]]His rating for the "Worst Console Ever", made famous after the scandal.[[/labelnote]]
* NeverLiveItDown: Jared has spent more than a decade in the industry, worked for [=ScrewAttack=], built up his own channel, interviewed industry titans like Reggie Fils-Aimé, and collaborated with some of the best and brightest Let's Players (PBG, The Completionist, Game Grumps, among others). However, it's likely Jared will only be known for soliciting nudes from his fans, including minors. After the story broke, [=NormalBoots=] terminated Jared's contract, he was banned from moderating his own subreddit, and his channel lost 100,000+ subscribers ''in one day'', with his subscriber count remaining in freefall for quite some time.

* OvershadowedByControversy: Managed to get this within ''a day''; at this point, he's more well known for emotional abusing and cheating on his wife with another woman and asking for nudes from fans -- some of whom were underage -- than he is for his actual videos.

* BrokenBase: His {{VideoGame/Undertale}} playthrough is becoming this, due to Jared taking a more cynical approach to the game and not praising it like most people. Either people like it because it's something different than other playthroughs or dislike it because he comes off as though he's bored and doesn't want to play it.

** After Jared's ex-wife accused him of {{gaslighting}} her, sending and soliciting explicit photographs to and from underage fans (who corroborated this allegation online), and having an affair with [[WebVideo/GameGrumps Holly Conrad]] (with whom he also exchanged explicit photos), he lost over ''100,000 subscribers'' (1/10th of his peak) in one day and faced massive public backlash for his post downplaying the divorce as an amicable splitting.
* ItsPopularNowItSucks: Jared has this opinion of things in general, which he even admits during his rant against popular Pokemon in his Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke. Many of his viewers believe the entire reason he spent most of his Undertale review mocking as many aspects of the game as he could was because the game's extreme popularity was what made fans urge him to play it, and he didn't want to give it a chance for fear of joining the masses that loved it.

* NeverLiveItDown: After a decade in the industry, working for [=ScrewAttack=], building up his own channel, interviewing industry titans like Reggie Fils-Aimé, and collaborating with some of the best and brightest Let's Players (PBG, The Completionist, Game Grumps, among others), it's likely Jared will only be known for soliciting underage nudes from his fans. After the story broke, [=NormalBoots=] terminated his contract, he was banned from moderating his own subreddit and his channel lost 100,000+ subscribers ''in one day'' (and is still bleeding subscribers at a pretty high rate).

** In his ''Alpha Sapphire'' nuzlocke, he didn't realize that Retailate is a Normal-type move instead of a Fighting-type move until it was too late, even when there's plenty of opportunities to do so.

** Sending nudes to minors while cheating on your wife with another youtuber? ''Really'', Jared?

* BrokenBase:
** In part 8 of his Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke Projared spends the entire episode grinding and ranting about aspects of the Pokemon series that he dislikes. Fan reaction to this episode has been mixed to say the least.
** His {{VideoGame/Undertale}} playthrough is becoming this, due to Jared taking a more cynical approach to the game and not praising it like most people. Either people like it because it's something different than other playthroughs or dislike it because he comes off as though he's bored and doesn't want to play it.
** A similar reaction seems to be taking place for his ''[[VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman Detroit: Become Human]]'' playthrough, as he started the series with a similar cynical tone and seems to take every opportunity to criticize the gameplay, story, and atmosphere, even when he's praised other games for the exact same content.

** In one of his video, Projared gives a broken marriage out of ten scores. In 2019, his wife divorced with Jared upon discovering that he had an affair with Holly Conrad.
** Jared's playthrough of ''Super Seducer'', in which he rips into the game's creator for being a sleazy pick-up artist, is much harder to watch in light of his abusing Heidi and exploiting fans for nudes.

** The two people shown in the Broken Marriage out ten? It's Jontron and Shane. In 2017, after Jontron's political comments, Normal Boots demotes Jontron into a non-active part of the group.
*** The broken marriage out of ten score becomes even worse due to Jared and his wife divorcing after he had an affair with Holly Conrad in 2019.
** Any heartwarming moments between him and his wife, Heidi O'Ferrall, become harder to watch after the couple announced that they were divorcing when it was discovered that Jared was having an affair with Holly Conrad of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps''.

** After Jared's ex-wife accused him of {{gaslighting}} her, sending and soliciting explicit photographs to and from underage fans (who corroborated this allegation online), and having an affair with [[WebVideo/GameGrumps Holly Conrad]] (with whom he also exchanged explicit photos), he lost over ''40,000 subscribers'' in one day and faced massive public backlash for his post downplaying the divorce as an amicable splitting.

** Nuptup the Vileplume is getting this treatment from Jared's fans (and Jared himself to a degree), due to him being Jared's longest surviving pokemon and being surprisingly powerful, useful, and resilient. Jared even adds a figurine of Nuptup to his shelf later on.

** After his ex-wife accused Jared of having an affair and blocking her on Twitter to keep her from viewing the post he made about the divorce, his fan base quickly turned on him and his subscriber count severely dwindled.

** He gave NESRemix a 4/10, saying that the game is "just stupid," and not worth the $15 price.
** ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes]]'' got an 8/10 from him based on gameplay alone, but he still spends a decent amount of his One Minute Review of the game telling people to not bother buying it anyway, and even put it on his Top 10 Worst Games of 2014 List. (Though possibly justified, as his extended thoughts have him saying he worries that if people buy the game and it sells well then it may start a nasty industry trend of more companies releasing $30-$40 "short prequels").

*** The broken marriage out of ten score becomes even worse due to Jared and his wife divorcing after he had an affair with Holly.

** Any heartwarming moments between him and his wife, Heidi O'Ferrall, becomes harder to look at after when the couple announced a divorce upon the discovery that Jared was having an affair with Holly Conrad of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps''.
