      Honestly, the article underplays how rapidly his stream took off. Hasan has the must viewers pretty much whenever he stream these days, but his stream was pretty small even a few months ago.

      I agree tho, we're lucky to have someone promoting left-of-Democrat views on that platform.

        It's pretty crazy to see him go from a Destiny hanger-on who could manage maybe a few thousand viewers like Destiny, to his viewcounts today consistently going up by 10 or 20x

        Tbh this might play a meaningful role in moving gamers left after the last few years of the opposite happening.

          Pretty crazy numbers he's pulling, for the record

          3rd highest peak viewer count in history of the site

          229th most followers

          Gained viewers at the 4th highest rate (past few months iirc)

          In this case the election really accelerated it

      He's consistently like 200,000 people and reads Twitch chat along with his Twitter. He does like 11+ hour streams, constantly. About 5-6 days week? Dude has put in massive work, which is respectable, but I do worry about his health/mental state from this amount of work.

      I think when he streamed AOC/Among Us it was AOC (being a novelty/streaming (400,000-500,000)), then him, and the others were like 80,000 or less.

        He’s consistently like 200,000 people

        onl election week he used to be a 10k andy will probably settle around 20-25k

          20-25k while gaming maybe, I think when doing politics he's now a solid 40-50k andy, at least until innauguration/the coup shit dies down.

      He can be a lib sometimes but he has some pretty good takes that his lib audience needs to hear. He went on a long rant the other day about how people will blindly accept the death toll that the Black Book of Communism touts but think that every death under Capitalism is because that person didn't bootstrap hard enough.
