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 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they kept Hasan off? Deeply unserious

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 36 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Kick, I think

Edit: I am wrong see below

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

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

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

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

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

ohhhhhhh

thank you

Where is my anti streamer emoji

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

[–] neo@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week 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.

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

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Deeply sick society.

[–] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

He was also a secret service agent for Obamna

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week 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 7 points 1 week ago

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

[–] dead@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

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

charlie kirk cloned himself ?

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] kittin@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

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

its two different streaming platforms

Death to America

[–] DesertComrade@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Streaming is an inherently reactionary platform tho

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

90% of streamers are reactionaries.

Math checks out.

[–] somename@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

That’s depressing

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

Rumble. Botted to shit.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

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

[–] GenXen@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Kirk listed twice

[–] dinklesplein@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

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

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

watching twitch streams is for losers anyways

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

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