        Let's keep it that way together lol. I'll still never forgive some fool from the Chapo subreddit for telling me to watch v*ush. I trusted that poster for some reason!

          they had to have been memeing on you

          the only reason I know who v*ush is is from here, and that's because the "tacoma wept" speech is beautiful, a cinematic masterpiece. it's a line a coen brothers character would use to signal to the audience that they're an irredeemable piece of shit moron

          Like a have a vague idea of who Hasan is (himbo twitch streamer left leaning guy, drama after he bought a house I think, I actually don't know if that's him), but no idea who "Stav" is

              I thought cum town was four people one of whom was named nick mullen whose jokes were basically racist caricatures but "not racist" because "he's making fun of the racists who use the caricatures unironically"

          I'm just completely isolated from everything and I prefer to keep it that way

          the youtubers I watch are like, hbomberguy and dunkey, random guys taking apart 1960's sunbeam toasters, and eletronics repair videos. I watch them through youtube-dl and mpv so I don't have ads or autoplay or recommendations

          the only thing I've ever used twitch for is music (virtual concerts), and again I use youtube-dl and mpv, so no chat or ads

          never listened to a single podcast

          they pretend like they're left but still do the imperialism, and they have anna kasparian who is like a big huge fan of madeleine albright or something. aside from hasan, jimmy dore also used to work there and now that's involved in some kind of drama bullshit

          I don’t think tyt is hated MORE than traditional lib media, just that they’re also very lib so they’re hated by us. Hasan was actually a big part of tyt back in the day, and was basically their only talking head for social media younger people. He was the “Woke Bae” guy in 2016 or something.

    I like Stav everywhere but on cumtown, it's not even that it's problematic of whatever. That episode on Chapo was one of the funniest ever, but cumtown doesn't make me laugh. Like it's supposed to be the same kind of humor but it doesn't jive for me. Kinda like the nick mullen tweet archive account, it's funny there but on cumtown it's not

      Every time I try to listen to cumtown, it just sounds like some trash for teenage/college boys and has nothing to do with leftism. Their fans seem to be dorks, too.

        But it's also just... not funny most of the time. It's digging through a hill of shit for specks of gold, and I don't have that patience anymore.

      idk why people are acting like this is super online or something, hasan is literally like top 5 biggest twitch streamer.

      like everyone here spends wayyyyy more time talking about "tankies" or "anarkiddies" which is 1000x more terminally online LOL

        Hasan's "content" honestly sucks. There's lots of cool stuff on youtube like the guy who eats weird fruits or the guy who melts down metal shit. I just don't know how people watch that low effort crap. I only tune into twitch these days when there's a fighting game tournament on.

        This place has always been anti-breadtube-aktion for the most part and Hasan definitely doesn't get a pass.

        Edit: there's swearing botany man too, he's good.

          yeah idk how you would view hasan and breadtube as being anything alike lmao

          I just like it bc I don't watch or read MSM and he gives pretty standard leftist takes on most issues in the news, aswell as shitting on radlibs and other dumb leftists takes in his chat. It's entertainment but its nice to get trending news from a leftist. Although I listen while doing something else 99.99% of the time, obviously I'm not sitting there watching like a movie or anything

            Like what you like but I don't think it should be super surprising to learn that watching a guy browse youtube and yelling "poggers malding bruh!" every few minutes isn't very interesting or politically coherent to other people.

          Sometimes its just nice to go on twitch and see a guy who's takes are decent. Its low effort, sure. But I'd rather him be there than not be there.
