Why yes, the democrats did kick Hasan Piker out of their convention during a livestream where he was interviewing people for their benefit.

Twitch put Asmongold on the front page the whole day (and kept Hasan off), which affects viewership considerably

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

they kept Hasan off? Deeply unserious

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Probably in response to the Ethan Klein/ Destiny/ Ritchie Torres drama

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I heard infrequently about Ethan Klein and how Hasan had the kid who likes One Piece on interview. That, along with the rest, sounds like the dumbest drama on the face of the Earth. If I'm going to hear something about Hasan all I want to hear is how much he's benching nowadays

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

Ritchie Torres getting involved and sending a congressional letter to Twitch was the icing on the cake of that bs drama

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 38 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh do keep in mind those top 2 were banned from twitch and use a different platform and their numbers are a lot more dubious

[–] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

what platform is it? I've never seen that logo before

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Kick, I think

Edit: I am wrong see below

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Thanks Comrade. Hadn't even heard of that one.

[–] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

wasn't that originally a messaging thing like WhatsApp? or am I getting it confused with something else

sanae-boomer

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Nah, to clear things up

Kik = messaging app used mainly by sex pests

Kick = streaming site which literally copy-pasted Twitch's user interface, and appeals to the alt-right male youth (funded by gambling sites)

in Maoist Standard English there isn't a distinction between the two. it's all just kkkikkk

[–] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

ohhhhhhh

thank you

[–] neo@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago

I assume every one of these reactionaries also has a huge conservative money base behind them for salary/promotion/staff. There is no equivalent for the left, because there isn't organized mega-money behind leftism.

Where is my anti streamer emoji

I already posted it there when I made it deeper-sadness

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I must not be that terminally online; who the heck is bongino?

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

NYPD cop turned media talking head. His podcast is #9 on Spotify.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Deeply sick society.

[–] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

He was also a secret service agent for Obamna

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

who the heck is bongino?

Let me introduce you in the best way possible, with 4-year-old youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Nan-uARF4

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

I’ve never heard of him either and I thought I was too online

[–] dead@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's not really a terminally online thing. Dan Bongino was a talk show host on Fox News. That makes him part of Main Stream Media.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

This is the actual image that explains why gen z is a bunch of nazi shitstains.

Seeing as the mainstream media also range between fascist and blue fascist, those two things together are uh, Not Good.

charlie kirk cloned himself ?

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

charliekirk's face is 0,2% smaller than Charlie Kirk's, that's how you know its him

its two different streaming platforms

Death to America

[–] kittin@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Charlie Kirk is literally the most common model. You ask for a “some white dude” and I give you a Charlie Kirk.

[–] DesertComrade@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

Streaming is an inherently reactionary platform tho

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Steven Crowder had more than double Tucker Carlson's viewers? I thought Crowder faded into obscurity because I haven't seen his name in a while while Tucker seems to be everywhere landing high profile guests and getting big money backing.

[–] NewDark@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

Rumble. Botted to shit.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

90% of streamers are reactionaries.

Math checks out.

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 4 days ago

Oh Lenin how i wish you were here with me now. With the Red Army at your back.

[–] somename@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

That’s depressing

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

Gee Chuckie, why does your mom let you get two data listings

[–] dinklesplein@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

is it over if i was somehow expecting to see destiny on this list

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

That raises my spirits, honestly. I expected waaay worse numbers.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Kirk listed twice

[–] GenXen@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Bongino? WTF? That guy is the real world incarnate of the smooshed head wojack meme.

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

watching twitch streams is for losers anyways

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

I see an audience of 300k people looking for commentary on politics that they can't get from television. shrug-outta-hecks
