Why yes, the democrats did kick Hasan Piker out of their convention during a livestream where he was interviewing people for their benefit.

Twitch put Asmongold on the front page the whole day (and kept Hasan off), which affects viewership considerably

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

they kept Hasan off? Deeply unserious

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Probably in response to the Ethan Klein/ Destiny/ Ritchie Torres drama

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I heard infrequently about Ethan Klein and how Hasan had the kid who likes One Piece on interview. That, along with the rest, sounds like the dumbest drama on the face of the Earth. If I'm going to hear something about Hasan all I want to hear is how much he's benching nowadays

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Ritchie Torres getting involved and sending a congressional letter to Twitch was the icing on the cake of that bs drama

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh do keep in mind those top 2 were banned from twitch and use a different platform and their numbers are a lot more dubious

[–] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

what platform is it? I've never seen that logo before

🧓 thank you

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Kick, I think

Edit: I am wrong see below

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Thanks Comrade. Hadn't even heard of that one.

[–] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

wasn't that originally a messaging thing like WhatsApp? or am I getting it confused with something else

sanae-boomer

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Nah, to clear things up

Kik = messaging app used mainly by sex pests

Kick = streaming site which literally copy-pasted Twitch's user interface, and appeals to the alt-right male youth (funded by gambling sites)

in Maoist Standard English there isn't a distinction between the two. it's all just kkkikkk

[–] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

Where is my anti streamer emoji

I already posted it there when I made it deeper-sadness

[–] neo@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

I assume every one of these reactionaries also has a huge conservative money base behind them for salary/promotion/staff. There is no equivalent for the left, because there isn't organized mega-money behind leftism.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago (4 children)

I must not be that terminally online; who the heck is bongino?

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

NYPD cop turned media talking head. His podcast is #9 on Spotify.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Deeply sick society.

[–] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

He was also a secret service agent for Obamna

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

who the heck is bongino?

Let me introduce you in the best way possible, with 4-year-old youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Nan-uARF4

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

I’ve never heard of him either and I thought I was too online

[–] dead@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's not really a terminally online thing. Dan Bongino was a talk show host on Fox News. That makes him part of Main Stream Media.

This is the actual image that explains why gen z is a bunch of nazi shitstains.

charlie kirk cloned himself ?

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

charliekirk's face is 0,2% smaller than Charlie Kirk's, that's how you know its him

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

its two different streaming platforms

Death to America

[–] kittin@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Charlie Kirk is literally the most common model. You ask for a “some white dude” and I give you a Charlie Kirk.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

Seeing as the mainstream media also range between fascist and blue fascist, those two things together are uh, Not Good.

[–] DesertComrade@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

Streaming is an inherently reactionary platform tho

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

90% of streamers are reactionaries.

Math checks out.

[–] somename@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

That’s depressing

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Steven Crowder had more than double Tucker Carlson's viewers? I thought Crowder faded into obscurity because I haven't seen his name in a while while Tucker seems to be everywhere landing high profile guests and getting big money backing.

[–] NewDark@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

Rumble. Botted to shit.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

Gee Chuckie, why does your mom let you get two data listings

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 8 months ago

Oh Lenin how i wish you were here with me now. With the Red Army at your back.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

That raises my spirits, honestly. I expected waaay worse numbers.

[–] GenXen@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Bongino? WTF? That guy is the real world incarnate of the smooshed head wojack meme.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Kirk listed twice

[–] dinklesplein@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

is it over if i was somehow expecting to see destiny on this list

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

watching twitch streams is for losers anyways

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

I see an audience of 300k people looking for commentary on politics that they can't get from television. shrug-outta-hecks
