He was the only person in the world that was able to make mmo content interesting as a stream so he got to monopolise most of the mmo twitch audience. Yeah there were people making interesting youtube content for mmos, but live streams almost all failed because mmo’s have enormous amounts of downtime and aren’t generally about doing dungeon run after dungeon run after dungeon run. The downtime and social element makes them less interesting to twitch audiences.
Then he built it into a reactionary crowd through being a smelly edgelord that lives with rats and cockroaches.
I just assume a large percentage of his viewers see him as a freakshow and are watching him purely for the novelty of seeing a human cockroach, but many of them will turn because their main form of social interaction is him and his chat.
I don’t think it’s a freakshow. I think he looks like them and he tells them all the features of themselves that the rest of society shames them for are actually things they should wear openly and be proud of. It’s the same behaviour as incels finding one another and grouping up in their hate spaces.
Many call themselves d*generates and openly take pride in every aspect of that.
