    Stream of consciousness streamer + politics == hot shit… Asmongler was always fucked, but edgy attic dwelling yet mostly harmless and amusing to what he is now is quite a departure. It’s like he took up the place on twitch to counter our favourite prada clad champagne socialist Hasan. The modern need for sychophancy is psychotic.

        It’s a lot easier to amplify shitty opinions through stealthily promoting shut-ins that “organically” spread the right poison than to try and turn a journalist or a legitimate artist into a mouth piece. Peter Theil probably loves boosting characters like this with bots.

        There are actually a few twitch streamers that have political experience who stream about politics. They’ve run for office, or worked in D.C., so they have some interesting insights.

          No doubt, I wrote game streamer quite specifically - no background or education in politics, but have an audience carried from unrelated activities and influence it.

          Hm, I mean I’ve known celebs to drop a comment on an issue close to them, or do an interview, start a charity - but how many pivoted to doing 16 hours of live political commentary, across all headlines and verticals, every day? These streamers have no credentials to be a pundit, yet still flood the feeds with their opinions. Seems like a distinct difference.

        I’ve noticed he does a shit ton of videos on everything. I’ve looked up recent events like the NDP race card thing that happened recently in Canada and he was one of the only sources.

        I think he has no life, and all he does is youtube videos, then he must get suggested by the algorithm that indexes his videos.

      You can “don’t like this video” and then tell them you “don’t like this channel” on any video that gets recommended.

          From your youtube wall, click the tree dots aligned vertically next to the title of the video under the thumbnail and select “Don’t recommend this channel” from the drop down menu.

          You will have to do this for his alt channels and the twich clip channels as you see them on your youtube wall. Very soon he should vanish and you won’t hear about him except maybe from other channels who shits on him.

          Very useful to get rid of shitty AI chanels as well.

              Yes. Firstly, iq tests have a bias to the culture that created them. It’s based on the sorts of problems that that culture values. You can’t use it to compare to different populations with different cultures.

              Secondly, depending on what source you found, the study might have been run by racists with an agenda.

              Thirdly, Africa is a huge continent with wildly varying cultures. You can just average those results together and get anything useful out of it, unless you have a racist agenda.

          He’s huge on all the streaming platforms, so you can’t really ignore him. Clueless people will have his content force fed to them by the algorithm, and some will end up becoming fans.

          Pre-empting that by pointing out how much of a disgusting pathetic loser and worthless piece of shit he is might help someone make an informed choice before watching his content.

                  I can tell from your diminished reasoning abilities that you’re probably an Asmongold fan. There’s not much I can type here to help you, but I’ll try to keep it short and use simple words and bullet points:

                  • I have heard him talk
                  • by hearing him talk, I have become informed about him
                  • using this information, I have made the informed decision to not listen to him further

                  I can try simplifying it further if you still don’t get it.
