The Many Degenerates of Twitch

Twitch is the Pioneer of online live streaming but in recent years it’s tanked its own reputation by seemingly making the wrong decision at every turn it seems that every aspect of twitch whether it’s the user base streamers mod team or admins has some sort of degeneracy seeped into it at this point

Whether the downfall of twitch is the result of any of these parties can be debated such as twitch mods Banning people seemingly based on personal opinion streamers getting drunk and making out with fans wives and twitch viewers like someone who sued twitch for 25 million dollars because he played with his

Joystick too much which caused him to chafe his chicken and sustain injuries some parts of this equation is funny some parts are depressing and some are just a bit enraging so today we’re looking at all of this and much more on Twitch degenerates God help us all twitch is the most parasocial platform

On the internet and it’s not even really close on YouTube you can almost never directly communicate with your favorite content creators whereas on Twitch this communication is one of the main functions and it’s as simple as opening your wallet now obviously there’s nothing inherently wrong with this system but some people don’t understand

That just because you donate to somebody doesn’t mean you know them even if you think you do while most twitch users don’t develop parasocial relationships you could see how somebody who is a bit unhinged could do so this can lead to audiences prying into dreamers lives may

Be a bit more than they should and it’s as simple as giving the audience what they want to start this relationship but some people don’t understand that a twitch streamer is not their toy most of the time but maybe they could be their eye candy which is where simp culture

Comes from and the only way to counter simp culture is with anti-simp culture meet Eric esteveo while you might not know his name you definitely know him an avid twitch Watcher UCLA alumni gamer consider standing out in front of the shuttle that’s running in front of the

Hotel and where your tax dollars go Eric is exactly what I’m talking about after living off disability for years Eric decided he was going to stand up for the little guy and take on the Amazon backed twitch he had enough of twitch’s antics and unfairness to him so we decided to

Take them to court and sue them for 25 million US dollars for what reason you might ask well he claimed that twitch plastered too many women on his front page which caused him to beat off with a flashlight which caused him injuries on his Johnson which led to that’s that’s

Gross also he claimed that because of twitch showing him these women he physically could not look away causing his eyes to be bloodshot red and strained and of course as you would expect he uh did his business on his computer and caused a short circuit causing a temporary blackout he demanded

25 million dollars from twitch as well as every streamer listed in the complaint to be banned notably names such as pokemane alinity and amaranth also I should mention he was following 786 female streamers and zero male streamers now unfortunately for the gamers Union this case was thrown out in

California but Eric still has plans to follow through with this suit taking inspiration from The Joker he States how it’s not about the money I’m not joking Eric has also sued many other companies such as Sony Apple Insomniac Games Gamespot Microsoft for giving him the red ring of death and

Sony again who he claimed ruined his social life when he got banned from PlayStation as he was not able to receive social interaction outside PlayStation was the only place he could get some sort of human communication and more importantly meet girls now twitch and Santos are pretty common and

Unfortunately not all of them are as ridiculously funny as Eric here some are quite intense and quite frankly disturbing how about Ginny TTY who had a fan scour through Discord messages steam achievements created [ __ ] graphs of a chatter on her stream and coordinated all of that with her Steam account as

Well as her menstrual cycle to find out if she had slept with a certain person or not now believe it or not this story is pretty tame compared to the other stalker stories that seem to be dime a dozen on Twitch some of which are quite terrifying weirdly enough a lot lot of

People will start twitch Channels with the intention of stream sniping or somehow getting attention by essentially stalking them so I’m not going to pretend streaming is an easy job because it’s not when you have to deal with [ __ ] like this as well as sitting at a desk or walking around every day for

Hours can be difficult when you’re constantly trying to entertain people you thought coal mining was hard try ending up on the front page of live stream fails being a streamer is going to attract a certain type of person who is capable of quite literally being terminally online now there’s a lot of

Degenerate streamers out there the most iconic one we’re not going to talk about today being only use me blade whose story you probably know but if you don’t his twitch was basically watch a man spiral into the depths of depravity somehow getting worse and worse every stream through his own actions while he

Is most certainly a degenerate and maybe a criminal he’s not the funniest degenerate on Twitch that Crown goes to the infamous Burger Andy he’s maybe not as Despicable as blade but he’s certainly just as pathetic you see around the year 2016 IRL streaming was a huge phenomenon instead of watching

People play video games you could watch them just go about their normal lives outside the most iconic of these streamers being ice beside and when people follow him around and basically groupie him to be a part of his crew many of these people who just showed up

On his stream would be nicknamed Andy there was Asian Andy Mexican Andy Arab Andy who is now in prison but by far my favorite is Burger Andy who is the Pinnacle of a degenerate streamer well besides the aforementioned blade Burger Planet or Burger Andy is a streamer who

Is in his 30s and is basically everything wrong with online personalities who try to get famous it looks like a goddamn pineapple I look like Morrissey I look like oh God He has a footprint that goes back to 2008 on YouTube where he would go harass people at conventions and I must say you are a very marvelous definitely one of the sexiest nerds we’ve seen all day by far but he saw very little success doing this deciding to get a normal job and

Presumably live a normal life however his real dream remained to be internet famous so in his mid-30s he decided to leave his wife and kids to become an IRL twitch streamer by leeching off the most famous IRL streamer at the time ice Poseidon How would you like to be an IRL

What do you think I drink what might have been pissed out of the garbage to be in this he became iconic for kissing ass to people in a very insincere and awkward way and some attempt to further his internet Fame good luck with your not wanting to have sex with anything

And his leeching wasn’t exclusive to ice Poseidon either as there were multiple occasions of him not understanding boundaries and filming people while they didn’t want to be filmed a person that talked to me in like 30-40 minutes good luck it’s like butter yeah of course it was

Very clear by watching him that one Andy would do anything for a whiff of Fame and two he had no understanding of personal boundaries how about his interaction with Dr disrespect or doc tells him to never film him ever again after Andy harasses him okay do you hear me hello don’t ever hey

What all right well get away from me man it won’t be on that thing which if you had any questions about if Andy was playing a character check him out crying after this interaction all right cool I wasn’t even doing anything weird I don’t [ __ ] know Andy is the perfect example of somebody

Who will do literally anything for a shred of Fame some of his attempts at going viral include stealing pizza from a homeless man punching his friend in the nuts to win an exhibition boxing match and him trying to bring a mentally handicapped woman back to his van

I only live I live in my minivan though you want to go party in the minivan yeah this guy’s a bad guy great with you well from the mouth no I believe if you took every quality of an awful internet personality slash twitch streamer and combine them into one thing this is what

You get one thing to note is that if you go to any compilation of him on YouTube all of the comments are saying he deserves every bad thing that happens to him but if you were going to watch one video of burger Andy this is the one you

Have to it is by far the best video of burger Andy and one of the best videos online in my opinion where he’s trying to get on Ice Poseidon’s party bus you said and I just ate a worm and [ __ ] dude it’s sketchy out here I don’t have

To walk back through there man why’d you come here I came here to see you guys you said I could come with you look at this face but for those of you who enjoy this kind of content for some reason or even enjoy stuff with a slight

Bit of edge to it twitch isn’t the platform for you because over the past little while it seems twitch has done everything in its power to make every wrong decision possible such as creating categories to filter streamers by race gender and sexual orientation in case you really didn’t want to watch someone

Of a specific one of those things I guess twitch is a bit of a degenerate platform by itself horrible decisions are driving many streamers away from the platform right now like stupid bands that are never explained such as this guy’s username which was doanel because twitch thought his name was do anal or

Gideon who went into pokeman’s chat and got people to spam L plus ratio kind of a dick move but guess what permanent band how about this girl who literally got bombed on stream seven day ban you can mess up say a naughty word and be blacklisted forever but if you literally

Do this slap on the wrist also enable people like this woman to have power on their platform who in case you’re wondering believes she is a deer and can have a deargasm while getting screeches on her head this person was put on the safety advisory Council I have

Who actually shoot off a real live gun while getting drunk on stream get banned freaking snowflakes am I right man in all seriousness the inconsistent band rules and enforcements have led to people like dead mouse leaving the platform permanently and terminating his partnership but for streamers this isn’t

Really an option the only choice they have is to go to another platform and back in the day this wasn’t really an option but now not only is it a fail save but it’s a pretty good alternative in YouTube while YouTube still has a million different problems there are

Many stories of people getting banned on Twitch for small things then switching to YouTube and it’s totally fine for example pyrocynical had a sub button removed for let’s just say sketchy reasons that came down to inconsistent at best and malicious at worst he moves to YouTube and voila everything is fine

Now YouTube may be annoying but they aren’t stupid most of the time they see how bad twitch has been [ __ ] up recently and are Keen to take advantage of it signing big streamers to exclusive lucrative contract now people like you may be praying on twitch’s downfall but

Keep in mind where do all these people go remember Tumblr remember how when that imploded Twitter and Reddit got way worse because do you want stuff like this on YouTube yes of course you
