Hasan Piker is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, which is quite the accomplishment because the platform was originally for gamers, but he does political commentary. With over 2.2 million followers on Twitch, 1.1 million on Twitter, and 1 million on YouTube, he has quite the influence. He’s a hardcore “eat the rich” type pro-socialist leftist, but he’s not who he appears to be.
ok now I can't tell if you posted this to dunk on the writer or Piker lol. but I'll assume you're trying to dunk on Piker. graduated cum laude (on financial aid because I'm poor) and I was not a good student, all you need to do is get a B average, it's not some special thing. to me that just sounds like he had enough money to go to a good school. I used to work with a total dip shit who went to Columbia just because his dad is some pharmaceutical executive and could afford it. just having rich parents and going to a good school doesn't make you an academic. and I'm not saying Piker didn't benefit from nepotism I literally said he wouldn't be famous if it wasn't for his uncle and his good looks lmao, but this whole piece is just "I hate this nominally leftish rich guy so let me use my new college classes to justify it". I think he sucks too but I don't need to bring up Singer or Maslow to justify it
