So what's the term for someone who lives their lives awash in conspiracy theory horseshit? I don't really know of a term in the common lexicon for this kind of behavior despite how prevalent it is

Notorious b.s.d. posted:youtube and twitch appeal to people who would never busk for anything because you can be a shut-in and still magically make money somehow if you actually want to make a living on youtube you need good content, the production of which is a full-time job. just putting out one video a week is no small task, particularly if you are writing, shooting, narrating and editing everything yourself. even the people making those weird "frozen elsa pregnant spiderman joker poison" videos designed to exploit the recommendation algorithm had to put some actual time and effort into them hobbesmaster posted:the most popular streamers are guys though i don't get a lot of the super popular twitch streamers. most of them just sit there playing whatever the current popular multiplayer shooter is while not being particularly good at it, nor do they have an entertaining personality, yet they have thousands of subscribers and people throw more money at them

Bhodi posted:i'm saying just being hot is not enough, just like just being good at video games is not enough on it's own. people on twitch are ad-lib entertainers apparently (if i remember correctly) you also have to stage hilarious pranks that involve making indians throw nazi salutes for pennies the price of fame

Every person is entitled to share their opinion. But in this case, after Naomi published a video containing the home address of one of our employees to multiple platforms and threatened our staff and their partners with further doxing and harassment, we felt it was warranted to discuss what has happened. In regard to the video specifically, the platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, and Patreon, determined for themselves what action to take in accordance with their terms of service.
