    That seems a little harsh, let me clarify:
     
    I can understand you're trying not to offend anybody, and even your detailed analysis and explanation of how you don't like his personality is still fine. I don't mind people sharing their honest opinion and giving feedback on LTT hosts. 
     
    but what I find quite nasty is how you suggest to Linus (I guess Linus bc he's in charge but your message didn't really have a clear recipient) how James should get less screentime. You make assumptions about the public perception of James based on your own opinion, and you also make assumptions about what the best way to "go about James" is for LMG. You're talking about James as a direct object, which I don't like.

    A lot of the material he presents is scripted and if you listen you can tell from the tone of his voice (and the others like Riley, Linus, etc) that when they go "off script" it's really IN the script, they're still reading off the teleprompter they put that in the script deliberately.
     
    Makes me cringe.
     
    Now when they do something Vlog style or the WAN show you can find his real personality. I find he fits right in with the rest of them. Not to mention I don't think he has massive say in how much screen time he gets. It's kind of like, here's some new tech or tech news, who's available to work on it? And that just lands on James, or Linus is out of the office who's free to cover for WAN show? It lands on James.
     
    I don't think he's trying to hog for screen time or steer the channel some odd direction. If he was I think Linus would be having words with him.

    Only problem I have with James is he can sometimes be to fast with his presentation. Otherwise I don't get the egocentric or arrogant vibe at all.

    Like i can understand someone not liking a person of a cast.
     
    I just dont see how James is doing any of it. Its just a style of hosting afterall

    I’ve never found him arrogant at all. He’s not a seasoned presenter but he’s getting considerably better, and at this stage I’d say only Linus, Luke and Riley (all well-seasoned) are more competent as hosts. Though I also very much enjoy videos by Anthony, Brandon and whoever else,

    I think James is awesome and he should host more videos.
