Hard disagree, I think there’s absolutely something to be said about the level of viewer interaction that’s possible with small streamers - since they don’t have thousands of people spamming the chat there’s potential for some genuine connection there that you can’t get with the larger folks.

all hail the rainbow cube. may it crush us until we, too, are immaculately cube-like in shape

Was his home vandalized with bombs?
