I see a lot of the 'make fun of video essayists' jokes coming from twitch debaters, which is the funniest shit to me.
Like, yeah, video essayist are generally long-winded dorks talking about unimportant media treats, but like, the twitch crowd is if anything longer-winded and dorkier.
At least video essayists script and structure their videos, it's impossible to digest any sort of information from twitch debaters because it's impossible to pay attention to 4 hours of miscelaneous rants.
Nonono, you took him out of context! Please, watch this un-bookmarked 4 hour long twitch transcript, or maybe was it this one? And if you don't, you admit that you don't know the context and I'm actually right!
twitch dorks be like: let me make $50,000 from superchat in 1 day while simply reacting to a video essay 10 seconds at a time and loudly munching chips
I've tried to watch a few of those, legitimately the most frustrating content imaginable. You'll be listening to the video the streamer is watching, but they always pause to react in the middle of a thought or right before the main point. like at least pause and react in between video segments jfc.
