      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.

        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…
