Destiny has well researched political videos? I think he just shouts people down who have zero knowledge on the topics they are speaking.
Its kinda funny honestly. You can have these personalities that never shut up then sexpestiny comes in having read the material and demonstrates the vapid poltical streamers know nothing.
generally just don’t get your political analysis from anyone who streams :/ in my personal opinion it’s a poisoned well
obvs to varrying degrees, but there are so many other media, even online like podcasts, researchers, on the ground reporting, essayists, etc
A streamer's goal is to get views.
Controversy creates views.
Views equal money.
These political streamers are just as shitty as tabloids. As long as their livelihood is tied to getting views, they'll say whatever they need to say.
It's why you see a lot of these mofos flip flop over the years.
True. Even when I agree with destiny its always tainted by the fact that he is a never Trumper who would be fine with the DNC becoming neo-cons because the neo-cons dont have control of the GOP anymore.
Just sucks how the political streamer is now legitimately where people get their politics now. There are some humble ones but I swear, like the drama around destiny, they create drama amongst each other to keep themselves relevant. Its incestuous and makes it feel like they are really just blowing each other off for the views.
yass. It’s exactly that drama-seeking that causes such a big problem. It gets views but in the end it’s using the same social exploits as rap beef or reality TV to address complicated and dangerous topics. I do believe it’s positive when people at least wake up to that, even if their media consumption doesn’t immediately change. :)
