Hey everyone, it's Bonus Video day! And today we're looking at one of my favorite topics to mock: lazy entertainers! Twitch is often the dumping ground for this, people who stream for 4 hours at a time with almost zero preparation, plans, or written material (and poor improv skills as well), but if you can believe it... some of them have found a way to put even LESS effort into their videos!
On Twitch, streamers often live and die by the “meta”, copying whatever other popular streamers are doing in order to get attention for their channel. If that sounds lazy and low effort, wait until you hear WHAT they're all copying now, and why it's a big problem for even larger streamers like Pokimane, who was banned for participating in the current meta.
Comments
Didn’t South Park basically discuss this meta thing with “CartmanBrah” like 6 years ago where Cartman commented on people commenting on CoD? But seriously though, just another item to the list of why Pokimane is incredibly bad…. Not that her simp fans would ever admit it.

2022-01-18 21:50:26 +0000 UTCMaybe we need the “Legal Meta” where someone follows the legal nonsense of streamers threatening to sue each other for defamation (e.g. Ninja and his wife vs Pokimane). Or maybe we should just, y’know, not, hah.
