i'm glad i'm not the only person here who thinks this streamer shyt is horrible, and the biggest streamers are extremely flawed people, who are unbelievably reckless with their platforms
Just in the last month I heard about:
-the cac who shocks his dog
-a french streamer that was tortured before dying
-women streamers who always seem to have "nip slips" and wardrobe malfunctions
-an asian streamer was killed by a stalker
-a streamer died from marathoning a video game without eating/drinking
I'm sure there's more, but thats all i can think of right now.
everyday you go on, you see some streamer doing some dumb bullshyt, or performing some dumbass stunt for attention. And kids (and a lot of adults) will sit there watching it. It's disgusting, but it's the world we live in, god help us
but I agree with the sentiments of
@Deafheaven and
@MikelArteta , streamer culture is essentially stupid and/or horrible people being stupid and/or horrible, influencing others to be stupid and/or horrible as well
When i was a senior in HS, each student had to think of their own topic and write 9-11 pages and create a product representing your topic. My topic was the negative effects TV has on young children. The modern-day topic would be the negative effects streamer culture has on young children (and adults)
I personally think it's far more dangerous than the basic cable TV shows 90s/early 2000s kids had growing up. If i was a parent, i'd have that content banned in my home. Same deal with "Rogansphere" podcasters who will casually invite nazis on the podcast. It's all dangerous. I think podcasting is dangerous as well, but that's another story
