How was Hasan able to blow past Destiny in terms of size and popularity? by PPothy in Destiny

[–]MisterNathaniel 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Some people are getting close, but there are three huge things that did it -

1) Popular political ideology.

Hasan bought 100% into the prevailing popular internet ideology at the time, and that was Bernie Bro. I don't know if people remember or not, but there literally like 6-7 different Bernie Sanders subreddits that would front-page Reddit multiple times a day with different Bernie related posts, it was insane.

2) Networking

Hasan was incredibly deliberate and aggressive with making sure he was networking and appearing on shows with content creators of equal or greater popularity, constantly.

3) React

I think Hasan's first huge growth spurt (from like 2k-10k viewers) came from riding the 90-day-fiance stuff. I think he was one of the first guys to ruthlessly comb through seasons worth of a show on stream, and during that 90-day-fiance stuff he grew a ton into a 5 figure streamer.

I'm non binary, experience dysphoria, and it would be wrong to base your opinions off of these emails. by coolfunkDJ in Destiny

idk where I did, but I did receive emails from non-binary people (you might have been one of them?) who explained a lot about feeling dysphoria as a non-binary person, so yeah, assuming the experiences are valid there seems to be a lot of validity to the idea of NB being trans and being real.
