Idk when society started depending on twitch game streamers for political insight but it’s really been fucking with my head. Sorry bro, WoW raid experience doesn’t exactly translate to expert on international relations.
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.

But that’s not Asmongold by a longshot.
And they’ll never reach the heights of asmond without the botfarms that amplify the signal to the algorithms.

Wait, you’re telling me I don’t get educated about International geo-political affairs by standing in the fire of a raid boss?
Then where did I get all my actual geo-political knowledge from? Reading? Education? Fuck off with that.
