He reviews video games, movies, and television shows of varying genres in a retrospective and comedic manner in his YouTube web series JonTron.

In early 2017, Jafari faced backlash from media outlets and fans after making public comments on race and immigration. Jafari's comments were characterized by news commentators as aligning with far-right or alt-right politics. Shortly after the backlash to these statements, he stepped down as an active member of Normal Boots.
