      How do these fuckwits become so famous with toxic bullshit. Does he actually make a living with his stream?

        it’s because he’s so fucking stupid that some people think it’s funny, the odd side-effect effect is that even stupid people think that his popularity is because of something else

        so you get this weird community of hate watchers and fans? following the popular streamer and wanting attention/ being parasocial

        he’s extremely obnoxious but it is my impression that being obnoxious annoying and loud is ultimately the winning strategy for live streaming

        You know, I tried streaming for a bit… but I’m boring. I hate saying dumb shit, I hate reacting in any significant way, and if I get too excited, I start mumbling and stop pronouncing.

        So while I hate such characters, I don’t find it that strange.

              I don’t do Tiktok or shorts. I will do a proper YouTube channel. Do my main video, with bonus episodes on Patreon. Just waiting on getting my camera.
