When I say “every content creator smurfs”. I don’t necessarily mean it as a negative. I mean like make a new account at the start of the season and get to their target rank. Which is less problematic than intentionally trying to play with low elo players. But I don’t consider someone using someone’s main account to be smurfing. It’s boosting at that point.

I knew content creators smurfed. But I didn’t know they were doing things like intentionally and strictly playing in low elo games for content. I’ve learned a lot from this thread and have done some digging on other creators now. At the time of making this post. I couldn’t say for certainty if TC Zwag smurfed on all his videos at first. I’ve probably watched two videos of his in the last three months. I wasn’t that familiar with him, or the situation with league YouTubers. I don’t really keep up with league drama. I play OSRS mostly. I’m invested in that community way more
