Why yes, the democrats did kick Hasan Piker out of their convention during a livestream where he was interviewing people for their benefit.

    Twitch put Asmongold on the front page the whole day (and kept Hasan off), which affects viewership considerably

          I heard infrequently about Ethan Klein and how Hasan had the kid who likes One Piece on interview. That, along with the rest, sounds like the dumbest drama on the face of the Earth. If I’m going to hear something about Hasan all I want to hear is how much he’s benching nowadays

            Ritchie Torres getting involved and sending a congressional letter to Twitch was the icing on the cake of that bs drama

            Nah, to clear things up

            Kik = messaging app used mainly by sex pests

            Kick = streaming site which literally copy-pasted Twitch’s user interface, and appeals to the alt-right male youth (funded by gambling sites)

    I assume every one of these reactionaries also has a huge conservative money base behind them for salary/promotion/staff. There is no equivalent for the left, because there isn’t organized mega-money behind leftism.

    Steven Crowder had more than double Tucker Carlson’s viewers? I thought Crowder faded into obscurity because I haven’t seen his name in a while while Tucker seems to be everywhere landing high profile guests and getting big money backing.
