please just stop accepting debate requests i don’t care if you’re hakim or noah samsen you will not outdebate a debatebro, even if you’re right, that’s their realm
mf seriously went “stop watching debate content” then went on vaush to facilitate the creation of debate content
Yeah “political” youtube is basically tiger king at this point, theyre all small business owners fighting to compete in this “marketplace of ideas”, its just entertainment, manipulation, lies and cults of personality.
:funny-clown-hammer:
Dan Bessner apparently did a debate with Vaush and I cannot express how dissapointed in him and Derek for not stopping him.
“why yes i will do a politics debate on twitch dot com with you… wait wtf why is this discursive mode given so much attention by self-described political internet users??”
he’s a smug cracker radlib small business owner piece of shit thats what he is
I’ve spoken to Noah and he’s pretty nice, doesn’t reject MLs either, listens and learns well…
But you’re right that this is about growth of the brand and followers more than anything actually good. The emtore twitch/youtube ecosystem funnels people into obsession over metrics. That’s not to say that metrics aren’t important, growth is good when it’s good growth, but the tunnel vision it creates in a lot of people drives them into becoming consumed by the system.
