How do you think Kevin Smith reconciles the fact that he's a 45 year old man who makes terrible indie films, eating fast food as his diet and fucking a physically retarded femnazi? For years he had to work menial customer service jobs to make ends meet, with the low point of his life involving going $27000 in debt to finance his movie.
Kevin had a difficult life growing up--his mother was a Catholic and his father was a postal worker. His loving mother tried, but she placated young Kevin with comic books and dreams of a better life. Dreams that Kevin was never able to cash in on. The constant failures in his life shaped him as the Don Quixote figure we have today, an empty casket of ruination and aspirations.
A man with no training, no education, no real life experience tries to make his voice heard. This echoes the warnings of the great capitalists of the 19th century, showing that, given power, the proles will replace society with an empty shell of itself. Reflecting this, Kevin only brings his jaded, cynical outlook on life to the table.
Food uplifted him from his sorry state, but even then food only gave him the illusion of comfort. While contemporaries like Tarantino and PTA made cinematic masterpieces, Kevin peaked with his first movie, only to remain a punching bag thereafter. He is kept him around as a literal reminder of the failures of Generation Y, encapsulated by his love of Prince and capeshit.
Many nights Kevin does nothing but cry about comics and Star Wars, sometimes producing podcasts for a crowd of people even more pathetic than him. Podcasts gives him solace that no matter how much of a fuckup he is, he will never be on the same tier as the retards that join him every Wednesday and Sunday night. This is the only thing that keeps Kevin from giving up the ghost. Not his wife. Not his friend Johnny Depp. But the mere feeling that he is better than somebody.
He sprnt the first decade of his career making fun of the type of Hollywood slime he turned into for the second decade of his career.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone realised they were becoming this after season 2 of South Park and scaled down to focus on the show rather than selling out.

Nah he tried to leech off Seth Rogan/Judd Apatow films and failed miserably.
he actually started smoking weed.
also, the modern internet and ability to create insular, devoted, merchandise-buying fandoms means he never,ever has to improve as a filmmaker or writer.
This guy can just sperg on for two hours on a podcast every week saying things any fan wants to hear about something and people will think he's great.

seth rogen introduced him to the marijuana
Nothing went wrong. He was always shit. It was just more endearing in the 90's.

Two hour Kevin Smith talking... so, he touches on, what... 2, maybe 3 topics.
I lost all respect for him for Clerks 2, up until Jay and Silent Bob Strike back he was doing OK then lost his comedic edge shortly after
Red State was an OK movie but John Goodman was a miscast
