    How do these fuckwits become so famous with toxic bullshit. Does he actually make a living with his stream?

    it's because he's so fucking stupid that some people think it's funny, the odd side-effect effect is that even stupid people think that his popularity is because of something else

    so you get this weird community of hate watchers and fans? following the popular streamer and wanting attention/ being parasocial

    he's extremely obnoxious but it is my impression that being obnoxious annoying and loud is ultimately the winning strategy for live streaming

    I think he’s like a multimillionaire, honestly.

    From subscribers and sponsors and stuff.

    In June 2023, Lengyel signed a two-year, non-exclusive $100 million deal to stream on Kick.

    His real name is Felix Lengyel.

    There are leftist and progressive streamers making a lot of money. I would guess that more than half of streamers are not conservatives. Most successful streamers are very supportive of progressive causes and inclusivity.

    You know, I tried streaming for a bit... but I'm boring. I hate saying dumb shit, I hate reacting in any significant way, and if I get too excited, I start mumbling and stop pronouncing.

    So while I hate such characters, I don't find it that strange.

    he's a streamer that somehow gets crazy high view counts, got rich off it all, is a cunt, and you definitely shouldn't give a fuck about his opinion however you should pay attention to what somebody with this influence teaches other people

    All you need to know is that XQC thinks Drake is better than Kendrick. And that XQC looks down on anyone who cares about lyrics

    xQc got disqualified from an overwatch tournament for homophobia and attended a trump rally

    i don't support trump but it's a bit short sighted people have different reasons to attend rally maybe to get to know why they are voting or just to gain insights

    I'd let it slide if this was 2014, and you were curious about the reality TV personality running for President, but not today.

    You only go to those things to show support, and anybody who doesn't know what Trump is by now, doesn't want to know.

    Don't excuse fascist sympathizers for supporting fascists. We've had PLENTY of fucking time for people to realize how shitty a decrepit entity of greed Trump is, there is no reason for any kind hearted human being to vote for him outside of being so grossly misinformed on what reality is that they legitimately can not know any better.

    His fanbase offers great insight into their reasons, in excruciating details for why they support the orange turd everyday. Why go to the rally?

    Between the low pixels and the format, I have basically no idea what is going on here.

    How the fuck are $1000 tickets afforable? Am I missing something?

    to be fair, with the taylor swift eras tour what happened was that taylor swift sold the tickets very cheaply but scalpers scalped it to hell and beyond, resulting in taylor swift losing out on a lot of money and scalpers having massive wins.

    I wonder why artists even bother at this point. Doesn't LiveNation offer some way they can sell tickets at their actual value without people knowing? (It itself is kind of a monopoly, but that's another issue)

    I literally don't know anyone who would want them. I guess I'll just stuff them in a mailbox or something, if they're not worth enough to be worth the bother of selling them.

    I don't know how this guy got famous, and I don't know what he does or who he is, but every single time I hear about him it's negative. Who is watching this guy? Why?

    there was an artist in gothenburg (kapten röd) who did a show called "the hundred crown bill" (Hundralappen), where all tickets only cost the equivalent of 10€ to give anyone a chance to attend a show.

    He's such a fucking awesome dude, love and good vibes pours out of him like a fountain.
