Ugh. Can someone make another video game streaming service that doesn't allow influencers? I don't even care if it was popular. I just want twitch of old back.
Edit: Sorry guys. I'm looking for something that is impossible to have. There will never again be an emerging esports scene. Unless it completely dies, I guess.
To suggest Republicans only argue in bad faith is to suggest that water is transparent.
There is a world where abstaining could be a reasonable approach. That world probably disappeared before I was born.
Astroturfing exist to poison the minds of on lookers. If useful idiots didn't adopt the warped logic they wouldn't astroturf.
Any amount of right wing will never sit well with me after trump. Things could flip and the conservatives could somehow be fighting for workers rights and I'd still side with the party that supports women's right to chose etc.
If lemmy became a right wing cess pool I'd be done with it in a heart beat. There are a lot of shit ideas on this platform and I do wish I could find my tribe but as much as I know of them, they are my people.
I can hear the church lady's now, "omg that's awful, how did this happen???????" Oh well, gods plan.
No you're right. Jaywalking was abused to target minorities but never did the law ever do anything to prevent it from happening.
No, I'm saying this campaign has been about courting the MAGA leaning conservative.
I think you're going to like the part about Luke and Leia's kiss though. I'm not going to spoil it though, ok I can't help myself
spoiler
Rudy Giuliani is Luke
It's what all the focus groups are about. It's exactly who the campaign is targeting. If they just wanted turnout they would make headway on the Genocide in Gaza.
No, Elon Musk is Leia and Trump is Han Solo. I'll link you the fan fic.
Influencer, to me, is a very specific type of streamer. Oh, young whippersnapper, early on twitch was more focused on esports. That's not to say there wasn't variety streamers that had a following based mostly on their personality's. That was growing along side esports except youtube was had dominated that content with lets plays and pewdiepie. For a long time LoL tournaments were the number one draw. There were others, too, and you could find and join those communities pretty easily.
Please, don't go off on how those things still exist. I'm not blind. It's just it's the whole platform is not geared toward that kind of content anymore.
