Man I keep seeing clips of this guy around and was immediately put off by his I'm-so-smart-and-cool affectation straight out of the bowels of an undergrad compsci program so I'm glad he's also tangibly a loser nepo baby liberal grindset failson too. And worse, a streamer.

His dumb videos keep showing up on youtube despite clicking "don't show this channel" or w/e.

All his little shorts are just like variations of "Chat do you wanna know why I left blizzard? Chat... Do you wanna know why I left Blizzard? I left Blizzard because it sucked dude."

like why do they all have millions of views

He pretty open about how he uses his knowledge of how algorithms work to manipulate the YouTube algorithm so that his short form content gets more views.

He even did a short on it!

That was the first shorts I saw about him lmao.

and they all somehow require an mspaint visual guide like he's john madden

[–] Waldoz53@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

how does he have 2 million subscribers?? what the fuck

[–] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

God yesss I get so irritated whenever I see him pop up and this articulates it perfectly.

The real question is, is the Streamer Gulag separate from the Gamer Gulag or do we put them in the same re-education facility

[–] fox@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Streamers are a kind of idolatrous figure to Gamers and so it's safest to keep them apart lest the Streamers form actual cults

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

Hmm, yes makes sense very-smart

Same lol knew nothing about this guy before this thread but there was just something about his affect that just rubbed me raw
