i mean yes in the end it's all streamer drama (to all those that will be like "who are these people ?" to sound cool)

but at the core but it does demonstrate the outsized influence that can be deployed against even the mildly leftist pipeline types. there is precious little in this space for younger people that isn't chud, chud-adjacent, straight fascist, or fascist adjacent zionazi.

it does show how quickly and throughly the entire tiny ecosystem of leftist creators could be absolutely shut down if there was a cross platform coordinated ban. imagine just every leftist instantly having all their socials closed, banned from every platform, utterly silenced and how little anyone would be able to do about it.

because it's coming

I would add that despite these people being streamers, their communities also do some activism in real life, like participating in the antiwar student encampment protests and other protests in support of Palestinians.

oh yeah. they are a million times better then other political streamers for this reason alone. most do walk the walk or at least raise money for causes that actually help people

At least podcasts are relatively decentralized, or at least more easily moved
