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

      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.

      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
