Progressive Twitch streamer Hasan Piker filed a defamation lawsuit against conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday, accusing him of falsely claiming Piker advocated for lynching Blac…
Twitch streamers aren’t celebrities and the only reason he’s even relevant is because the republicans decided he is the devil and a liability for democrats.
Trying to suggest that streamers aren’t influential in current year requires you to either live under a rock or be above the age of 60. It’s like trying to suggest that YouTubers aren’t influential in 2010.
Streamers are influential. Having 40k concurrent viewers is insane, and the actual metrics behind just how insane it is ends up being pretty difficult to parse without having someone else do the analytics for you.
Last time I checked the average time a viewer actually stays in a stream ends up being a few minutes. That also heavily depends on the streamer and what kind of content they produce. Hasan pulling tens of thousands of concurrent viewers is nuts and places him in the upper echelons of the top 1% of streamers on twitch.
It’s like trying to say that Assmoldbald isn’t influential. You are just wrong, even if you hate having to admit it.
Edit: I should say, I think Hasan is peak dudebro energy and routinely shoves his foot in his mouth. That being said, the man is influential - for better or worse.
Edit: ‘peak dudebro energy… shoves his foot in his mouth’ these things aren’t compliments. I’d be more worried about aligning my messaging with the fascists, which you’re 100% doing.
I’m going to treat you as if you’re not being coy dishonest, at which point - you’re better off not knowing. If you want to know more, go watch Professor Dave’s videos on him.
That being said, fascists are bad. Don’t do their job for them. If you want to tilt at windmills you’re free to do so, don’t be surprised when you get slapped in the face for it.
Define “celebrity.” I certainly would consider many twitch streamers celebrities and public figures, even if I don’t care about or watch them. Many of these streams pull more viewers than mainstream media.

Defending sone dude you’ve never met like he’s your best friend is the definition of a parasocial relationship.
Getting angry at some dude you’ve never met like he killed your family is the definition of a parasocial relationship.
If you want to go down that route so is this unhealthy amount of anger about them in the news.
Especially when for such a valid reason that also could cause issues for overall terrible human being Scott Jennings
Inb4 you’re a Destiny viewer

What the fuck is a destiny viewer?

I just googled him and why the fuck would I watch a YouTube personality?
Not into that don’t use twitch and if you want to ‘slap me in the face’ for that it shows more about you than me.
For what it’s worth, I would be shocked if you were a Destiny fan. That’s a pretty baseless accusation.
The democrats have also decided he’s the devil and a liability. When he’s got both factions upset, he’s gotta be doing something right.
