Streamers being the new big celebrities is the first time I’ve felt like an old man

[god shamgod]

How is this any different from podcasters that Millennials listen to that get paid to rage bait and clout chase all day?

They get paid millions to do that?

the average person has never heard of these streamers..

the big celebrities are still athletes and pop stars.

Rogan does. Joe Budden makes good money.

 

[concise]

no, its a natural progression from radio host to podcasters to streamers.

Can't forget reality TV

Yeah it’s def odd, I’m older gen Z and nikkas my age be influenced by streamers too

nikkas was running around 2 months ago callin hoes they ball

I just think it’s money, once you got Kick and Twitch offering these guys NBA contracts; it took them and the content creation lane to another level

What worries me is the long term effect it has on the viewers and streamers mental health; cannot be good to just be on camera all the time. You also see people chasing clout at unprecedented rates now, someone gon end up hurt or in massive trouble

Exactly

All of this. They started offering these dudes football numbers to just sit around and do nothing all day except interact with lonely nikkas.

It was funny at one point. Now these kids take it as serious as heart attacks.

I agree with the mental health part. All of this is deterioration of the mind though

Exactly. It’s the lack of talent that gets me. I have zero interest in golf or F1 but I recognize their talent and how much they work on their craft to become professionals. Most of these streamers are talentless.

I mean seriously, ask anyone what Kai Cenant’s talent is?

Mehhhh keeping people’s attention and engaged is a talent in and of itself that the majority of people struggle with

Aren’t you 30+

Im 44 but im not a cranky, cosplaying lawyer for thecoli
You nikkas always complaining about something in here and forget you were kids at one point
If the 90s had the same technology
We would be doing the same shyt these kids are doing now
So what is your problem with them getting money for just being
nikkas was watching Vine clips religiously back in the gap
It’s the same thing
But you got your daps from geriatric geek nikkas on that post
So it all makes sense

 

[Diondon]

It started with reality TV
yall were OK with talentless idiots then sooooo.......

Maybe old ass nxggas like you, but all the generations younger than you know who they are.

Nope...

the celebrities are still the athletes and the pop stars.... like LeBron, Mahomes or Steph Curry walk into any mall in America and it'll be shut down.

Take one of these streamers outside of their Niche demographic and put them in a mall, nobody would give a shyt.....yall live in ur little bubbles, thats the problem.
