    I think he moved on to other games eventually. He has a fairly high subscriber count on places like Twitch and YouTube. So in some sense he is relatively famous. But he seems to think that that makes him important or that his shitry opinions matter. When he isn’t, and they don’t.

      Even the highest subscribed youtuber or twitch user would be completely unknown to the average person, none of these people are relatively famous. The majority of subscribers and internet traffic as a whole are bots.

      EDIT: your downvotes don’t change reality

        MrBeast is reasonably well known even outside YouTube, he’s doing shows for some other streaming service as well.

        People like the slow mo guys are also pretty well known too.

          people really don’t appreciate just how quickly legacy media is dying, more people watch any given asmongold stream than fucking…jimmy kimmel

          everyone knows by now just how obviously fake and bullshit all legacy media is, it’s why the powers that be are so desperate to reign in any social-media site not beholden to these oligarchs living in the past

          Who?

          If you showed a photo of these people to someone random on the street, it is almost guaranteed they would not have a clue who they are.

          You’re just in a bubble.

            Many people wouldn’t recognize Bill Gates or Marilyn Monroe either. That has nothing to do with if they’re famous or not. You’re being disingenuous and you know it.

            I’ve seen posters and billboards with the dude’s face on them while driving around, he’s famous outside of YouTube.

            There’s also people like the Slow mo guys who a lot of people would recognise.

            A lot of people watch YouTube.
