    Nothing too bad, he just ended up a (prominent, genre-pioneering) youtuber instead of a film director and he seems to feel greatly ashamed about that.

      I don’t think the conclusion is that he’s ashamed of it. Near the end the guy brings up how a lot of James’ movies are just reiterations of his childhood creations. He seems to enjoy “improving” his existing work, or just making it over and over again, despite the reception. He mentions how this mentality was always present but people act like its some recent downfall.
