Dr Disrespect stuff all seems like publicity stunt.

Surely not

Surely not

Well I am leaning away from it being anything serious. Maybe he is leaving and going to the new streaming platform with Ninja and Shroud and Twitch found out.

I don't believe that rumour. What sort of name for a streaming platform is "Brime" anyway?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

His sponsors have slowly been returning to reinstate him.

Twitch has a history of poorly handling moderation. It’s probably not that serious they just suck.

 

[Quivorir]

Surely the fact that Twitch has banned his account and refunded all subs rules out that its a publicity stunt. What a * you to your fans.

I also can't imagine anyone being happy giving up that much income in the name of a prank.

I read somewhere today that apparently he's not actually a real doctor?? Maybe that has something to do with the ban??

 

[Mantastic]

For real though, I don't care for Doc but this sums it up for me here

I’m so invested in this whole Dr Disrespect situation. This is the most intense cliffhanger I’ve ever seen and all the conspiracies are ******* wild

Umm me or dr disrespect?

 

[Mister Carlton]

Who cares. Should have been permanently banned for the toilet stunt. So dumb.

This just makes me wish there were still Twitch Fails videos on Youtube.

I never understood the popularity of streaming. I just can't see the point of watching someone else play a game when you can use the time to play it yourself.

Though I do watch walkthrough videos on YouTube to help figure out getting past difficult parts of games. Not sure if that counts.

1) Its free.
2) I sometimes watch games as a kind of review
3) With the games I play most regularly (things like EU4, Rimworld and HOI4), all of which have a fair bit of strategy involved and lots of replay-ability, I learn heaps from watching good streamers who spend lots more time playing those games than I do.

It should be no surprise that an industry full of campaigners has a side industry also full of campaigners.

It's like watching a sport you could or also play. You're interested in the subject, the commentator/player is hopefully entertaining and insightful, it piques your interest, it entices you to play as well. Also, background noise.

For me, it's ASMR for sleepytime.

Some of the most popular streamers are good looking women in their 20s. It's no surprise that socially awkward male gamers, many of whom are probably incels, would be drawn to watching attractive women stream their favourite games.

What's with Super smash brothers and all the peados?

Either as a guide on how to get past a tricky part, or maybe interested in just the story of a game and not really caring to play it.

 

[bourbons]

Still no word on what Doc's ban was for?

Weird.

 

[Cooldude]

What's with Super smash brothers and all the peados?

Smash competitive scene has a very very very young fan base (like early to mid teens), and it turns out loads of top players use their fame to groom and take advantage of them then pay them to hush up

It's pretty ****ed up

Such a nothing interview. The only interesting part is when his publicist cut him off.
