I’ve always felt this is not a bug but a feature of the system; This is me being conspiratorial, but I’ve seen this type of shit streamer suddenly get huge as they add a political turn on their discourse and it happens the most right before elections in “certain countries”. It was obvious for anyone a couple of years ago when gamer gate found a resurgence. Calle it free market, call it bankrolling by political parties But I am getting really tired of watching this type of political clown pop out, make a lot of noise and spew a lot of nonsense and then fizzle out.

I have never been an Asmon watcher, so I don’t know if his political content does better than his WoW content, but he’s been a top streamer for a while. Well before he started doing political stuff. He was also renowned for being a disgusting moron, so the political side he picked makes sense.
