Lesath is very right, huge boomer and liberal energy in here
How do you square away that a lot of the commentary made is possible because news agencies send people to these locations to take photos, capture video, interview etc? It's a parasitic relationship where organizations do all the labor and one individual in his house can commentate. The future is still these news agencies because they are the ones doing the leg work.

A good comparison is that he is a YouTube reactor and he is nothing without content to react to.

Print is dead and cable news is boomer-fied, its entire model is on borrowed time and tied to a dying generation of consumers. As it exists a decade from now it will be coopted like the Washington Post was, a mouthpiece for some billionaire to jerk themselves off.

But tell us more about exploitation of labor and parasitic relationships.

He's a neat guy, and I enjoyed what I saw when the June protests were going on. Then there was a stream where people were telling him the PS5 Event he was going to cover was starting while he was watching some random Ben Shaprio video, he blew up on camera and shut down the stream.

At that point he was probably overworked and streamed too much, so I understand the stress, but the initial reaction on twitter where he essentially blamed his entire audience and people tried to justify it with a weird cult of personality vigor was off-putting.

Getting screamed at and suddenly blamed for not caring about "important things" because of a bunch of comments other people were spamming just made me feel like shit. It's the dark part of a parasocial relationship, to get invested in someone and then feel stinged as if they were a real friend when something like that happens. So I avoid Twitch.

Both forms are election coverage are essentially chewing scenery before new numbers come in anyway, so...*shrug*

Hasan has been keeping me relatively sane though this. I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. His interview/conversation with Weigel last night was very good.

Learned about him from the AOC stream. Seems like a much healthier way to approach punditry and the news than what you see elsewhere, including this forum.

Yup, and he watched hundreds of different videos of people being brutally beaten by cops during those streams. So it's understandable. It just goes to show how the distanced and mild-mannered approach of news stations can be comforting by virtue of knowing those kind of things typically don't happen.

I was aware of Hasan and watched a few streams here and there, but his (continuing) coverage is really good and entertaining.

Considering this is his buddy's Willneffs political coverage I'd say Hasan is the outlier on twitch.

It wouldn't surprise me later on if streamers cut into that too though, especially when agencies drop off after their interest wanes in a topic and they move to something else (See coverage of protests a month after they start or get peaceful).

Then it'd be streamers reacting to other streamers. Long way off though.

Or imagine Hasan the chad vs that slimish incel ghoul Ben Shapiro.

The rightwing loones just can't against him.
and this is dead serious. If you're a teewnage kinda incel or recluse, this chad is certainly going to inspire you more than ben shabibo

I mean I dont think even Hasan would argue that he isnt some great journalist and is super lucky to do the job that he does, he also seems pretty hell bent on giving spotlight to the journalists he likes. The big difference that makes him different from news angencies is that he speaks the truth and not some liberal trash that people get paid 6 figures to speak on news networks like CNN, MSNBC etc. News networks like that are very much responsible for where we are in this country.

To have someone with sucha big platform be promoting socialist idealogy is huge, ive only been watching him this past week but the takes that he has are pretty good so far and break things down pretty well and is understandable for everyone.

So twitch will now not only influence game sales but also politics? True influencer platform.

God the only thing I hate is when he wastes time on his subreddit. He spends so much time viewing these +1 upvote submissions that are just farming emotes from chat. It's just not fun to watch idk about you guys

Hasan used to be a fan of Rogan, now thinks he's an ape brain. For me, Hasan is basically the opposite of Rogan when it comes to informing youth about progressive ideas and not being an idiot. That's why I support him.

Man with the way shit like uber, grubhub, and the likes taking off nowadays, I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me if it got to that point 😂.

People get off work, take a job on some app that pays people a little to go to a location and film an event or interview someone. Might not even need an app, people could stream the legwork just to go after sub and donation money. Let's hope it doesn't get to that point.

Tried tuning in for a bit, idk, it's not for me. But anyone who has a good head on their shoulders and can actually get through to the youth is good in my books.

LucidFoxx is in the same vein as Hasan (they are friends/friendly). He does morning time stream before Hasan starts and it is a less wild than Hasan is. There are also a lot of other Leftist twitch streamers

I watched him until the primaries started. His coverage of the primaries was absolutely cancerous. I'd rather watch the billioneth grey haired establishment CNN reporter over a Biden bro screeching snake, booty judge (referring to a gay candidate?!) and copmala into his mic. No substance at all.

How is "booty judge" a targeted insult towards gay people, specifically?

It's very clearly a rework of his last name - you know, the same thing his supporters did with the BOOT EDGE EDGE thing...

I love how this has turned into a Hasan OT and I'm glad his viewership is increasing. Dude's super entertaining and pushes the boundaries of what the image of a leftist entails. It's clear by this thread that a large portion of Era is unfamiliar with the "dirtbag left" and associates people deep into meme culture with the alt right. People like Hasan are needed to change that narrative and serve as a gateway for young kids to start caring about progressive policies.

I've been watching this guy since Tuesday for the election coverage. He's entertaining and he knows his shit. He's riding a line of being a leftist but not too leftist, which is basically my ideology. He supported Bernie's messaging and policies and loathes the current Dem establishment for being too centrist and spineless, but still supports them because he knows they're better than the alternative.
