He seems like a semi-smart kid (he couldn’t pronounce your name correctly) who found attention on YouTube, became addicted to user view counting, and now wants a share of your fame and fortune. He’s jealous and angry. And a tad resentful. My suggestion to him is work for it, like you have. I wouldn’t worry about the small stuff. Remember that you can’t please everyone, but maybe you can please yourself. Keep the edutainment coming.

This is a case of sour grapes. Or success envy. jimmyr is intelligent as you say.. the only logical reason for the rant – is to try and get attention. Shame on jimmy!

Maybe what the guy was complaining about is that your “How to Cancel your AOL subscription” video ended up being a history on AOL, and not how to cancel. Regardless, it was still very informative. Really all he’s complaining about is that some of your videos are mis-titled

If you’ve helped just one person with your videos, then you’ve accomplished something. I saw your first video a couple days before your “20 Reasons I’m Not Getting an iPhone Today” (http://chris.pirillo.com/2007/06/29/20-reasons-im-not-getting-an-iphone-today/), liked your videos, and decided to check out the chatroom, where you’re always live at live dot pirillo dot com. I’ve been a subscriber of your videos on YouTube ever since, and while some of your videos aren’t very technical, they’re fun to watch. Your videos aren’t over my head. You don’t try to make the world feel stupid by talking in nerd language. And that’s why you’re still on my subscribe list. Plus, it’s funny when you throw your hands up in the air http://youtube.com/watch?v=P10nIjUPI1g (@5:20)
