“Pretty disgusting to see that after everything you did to make the space hospitable to left leaning ideas and these kind of discussions, it’s a bunch of people who are able to enjoy this space because of that that cut you down. I suppose on the plus side… YouTube player is much, much better.Īlso, said this in the reply to your comment, but I’ll put it here too: Unfortunately I guess in the end enough people spam reporting and devoting everything to get you banned is enough for Twitch to bend too, pretty fucking pathetic.įor you or for anyone else, is there like any chance of getting it back, or are you just fucked? Whatever you decide to do in the coming year I support, I wish you the best bud and Im sorry that this happened.you deserve better Like I dont mean to circle jerk you Because trust, I fucking hate when youre an edgelord but as much as I hate to admit it even then I find humor in it sometimes (I think its an internet era thing). Youre unique in that way dude, I feel like if you stopped streaming the left loses one of its greatest assets and advocates online. You bridge that gap and plant seeds that eventually grow people into more progressive positions. You humanize so many people on the far fridges which is why I think youre able to reach them, because they spent their entire lives being demonized for their views. You actually have conversations with people, and you can do so no matter their positions or place on the political spectrum. You ground them in reality where as so many other creators fail to do so. Your position are what your average voter either already understand or could easily understand. Youve built this platform, youve created this scene and you deserve so much recognition and respect. Theres a part of me that understands your want to retire and would support it, because fuck, Idk if I could take even a portion of what you deal with on a daily and not want to just say fuck it.īut then there the part of me that so so desires to see you suceed. It's business logic hidden behind moral outrage. So on twitch you'll always see more competition, more people trying to snipe others, more attempts at cancelling someone. On twitch where viewers are limited the way to grow is to take the audience from somebody else. to grow outwards, to create new audiences. A single viewer on YT can create 20+ views a day, while on Twitch it's usually only 1, so on YT where views are plentiful, the method to grow is to find "new" viewers, to game the algorithm, to collaborate, etc. It's very similar dynamics to old Twitch vs new Twitch or Youtube vs Twitch. If you can't grow outwards you grow upwards. When all/most of the resources have been taken, you grow by taking resources from other people. When you are in a competition with lots of resources you grow by going out an capturing new unclaimed resources. It's almost inevitable in these small spaces, where the only way to expand your power is to grow upwards. The previous generation of activists gets purged by the next generation. The entire history of the trans movement is replete with this type of behaviour. It’s up there with the Magna Carta or the Constitution as one of the most important political works of all time. Plus, if you’re not streaming, who the fuck am I gonna see soy jump for six hours on the Grafted Scion?ĮDIT: Also just because some people call me an optics andy who always wants you to be nice and I’m talking about appreciation, this video is my favorite debate you’ve ever done. Even in your non-political discussions, you offer unique takes and ways of looking at things that I’m not gonna get anywhere else.Īll of this to say: take time if you need it, but don’t let these fucking pieces of shit win in pushing you away from your work. In a sea of mediocre, braindead, and toxic political voices, you do rise above. I’ve tried watching other politics streamers, and though there’s some people I enjoy occasionally, you have an incredible ability at formulating your views, articulating them well, and courage in presenting your takes that simply isn’t really present with any other streamer I’ve found. I hope that comes through, and you know of my immense gratitude for what you do. Not to be even more SOY, but when I do criticize you, always know that it comes from the high bar I set for you through my respect and admiration.
