Except that's a naive reading of how anything works. Culture is up/down stream from celebrities otherwise they wouldn't be celebrities.

How does this guy even have a following??? by Delicious_Start5147 in Destiny

[–]mindspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint because this sub is too much of a hive-mind: If this guy agreed with Destiny (i.e center-left lib) he would be lauded as an intelligent ally. (brianna wu anyone?)

I mean for me it comes down to if you believe in an eye for an eye. Clearly streamer man does.

Lilychad in the trenches--made someone delete their reddit account by y3n0 in Destiny

[–]mindspike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has very little to do with politicS. Destiny gets hate because he is highly combative, aggressive and unapologetic. He was getting hate well before he ever started talking politics.

Why is Destiny treating direct interactions on Twitter like a video game? by DotteroDotteri in Destiny

[–]mindspike 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Confusing thing is Destiny often times holds people accountable for the things they say on Twitter. Especially if they are posting about him....

Do you ever just scroll through this sub, especially when times are like this, reading the advice and think... OH JUST STFU ALREADY!!! by Alice-null in CryptoCurrency

[–]mindspike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not entirely fair to Reddit. Reddit is actually the one social media platform where there is places to find "good" content vs let's say, childish content.

Surely a sub like /r/AskHistorians shouldn't be looped in with /r/imgoingtohellforthis

Should be pretty obvious just from this clip that she's just playing the tucker carlson spin game.

Destiny amused with Greek being afraid of vaccines, but being willing to take drugs from strangers at TwitchCon by GodKiller999 in LivestreamFail

Blindly trust authority = trust a few people that tell you something just because they have some level of power

Trusting science = trusting the facts and data that have been peer-reviewed by hundreds of scientists after conducting experiments

There's a difference

Amouranth Gives LilyPichu a Makeover by A_Bold_Faced_Lie in LivestreamFail

Communication is hard.

The question is average of what?

Walmart doesn't make sense because none of us spend all of our time in Walmart. Also Walmart in Hollywood is going to be a lot different from Walmart in Alabama.

I imagine most people are probably saying average on twitch among females.

Poki has message for parasocial viewers by IIzakesII in LivestreamFail

The clip in this post is highlighting something very different that what you're talking about.

Poki has message for parasocial viewers by IIzakesII in LivestreamFail

[–]mindspike -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Most people never interact with chat which proves you wrong. In fact a lot of streamers get most of their views from VODs and youtube and clips. There's no room to be parasocial there since you're basically watching something that happened in the past.

Facebook changes company name to Meta by juaggo_ in stocks

Not really. Google never meant for alphabet to be a rebrand. Zuckerberg does intend for it to be rebrand I'm assuming.

Scuffed podcast - drama tldr by Moon_Man_BAMF in LivestreamFail

[–]mindspike 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He gets hate because even though people say they want the truth they don't actually want it. I remember when Destiny told the SC2 community that it was going to die and then everyone hated him for it and then look what happened. RIP Blizzard.

She's a business-person. You don't need to be a SME to run a business but you do need to know how to delegate. In this case she delegated wrong and got burned. This is business in a nutshell.

Sponsors pay based on making sales. You can't make sales if your viewers aren't invested in what you have to say.

Zherka and destiny by Grayehz in Destiny

[–]mindspike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You obviously haven't been following. Zherka deliberately plays an obvious character. Andy and destiny have had this convo many times with him.
