I legit hate this man so much, I fucking hate all of these dipshit gaming twitch streamers so much
I just hate streamers in general. If they’re going to close the borders and deport immigrants, they should at least forcefully transfer all twitch streamers with more than 100,000 subscribers to the countryside for 10 years.
I read somewhere once that any streamer with a regular audience of at least 12 viewers is within the top 1% of all steamers, so you may have to lower your subsriber threshold a bit
It does depend a little bit. I do art streams for clients sometimes, so it'll rarely be more than half a dozen people, because usually only the client and a few others would ever be interested in seeing it. A lot of streaming content isn't intended for a mass audience and would probably skew the results a little bit.
streamers, youtube video essay "scientists"/"philosophers", and redditors are rotting the brains of the future generation so hard
Getting my science education from bitter transphobe kraut, my news from youtube algorithm bearded pogface man, my entertainment from cracker screaming slurs, and my media analysis from off-the-clock cliff-notes contributor dragging a plot summary into a four-hour-long video
Not to discount how much cognitive disease these internet weirdos are spreading, but when I was a kid I'd listen to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell every night on a portable radio. It was probably even more severe brain rot, with stories about Area 51 aliens or how to deal with hauntings in your garage. I used to believe it was all real and I'd end up a psychic or something someday.
Brainrot media has always existed, there's just more of it now and it's more easily accessed. Back when I was a kid you had to go to a convention or learn how to operate a ham radio, but it was all the same thing. Go look around Usenet forums from the 80s too
I forgot how old I was lol, it seems like everybody 20-30 years old around me gets their main source of information about the world from reddit or youtube nowadays...
I used to have a hip radio when i worked nights that played coast to coast, but it was with George Noory. A lot of fun nights stocking shelves to the weirdest stories told around a campfire.
I'm happy I've never watched a second of his content even though youtube loves to shove him into all my recommended video lists.
Every time I'm forced to see his stupid ass face on a random youtube thumbnail, I want to punch the screen.
If you actually hit him you’d probably knock all his teeth out
we need to take their gaming PCs away until we figure out what the hell is going on
i'm calling it the solar guillotine folks, we're gonna fill up a train with reactionaries and billionaires and then launch it into the sun
yes, i realize that reactionaries and billionaires is sort of a redundant pairing.
