Thanks for the answer, yea the sad clout-chasing behavior of the big 4 (destiny, va*sh, keffals, and hasan) is a detriment. There is a good amount of dicussion here regarding the "pipeline" for leftist theory that these types of creators do however there is a notable sea-change towards trashing "tankies"

Joke question feel free to disregard; how long until a U.S politician says "tankie" on television?

    yeah hasan's primary content is react / news analysis however he has been dipping his toes into it with h3h3 & leftovers and the XQC "debates" but I would say those are the highest sub count political streamers idk I'm open to being wrong on this lol

    might have more been a commentary on keffals being a drop in the bucket compared to those 3. even at her peak before the anticommunist/debatelord shit really kicked off she was much smaller.

    That makes sense, and I agree but her twitter "presence" it outsized compared to viewer/sub count but for me she is like the quintessential representation of the "left" adjacent political/debate streamer as she is just so craven.

    I am not talking about Keffals. Who is in this picture, and who is not?

    Edit: This is shopped

    ah the based/cringe dichotomy not the high follower count/low follower count

    Is that pic even real? I mean it totally checks out but I couldn't find the source on google or tineye weirdly.

    Whatever their follower count, the 3 of them are the only streamers named who are taking part in an establishment dem stream stream tomorrow morning

    @LiberalScratcher@hexbear.net was the one who posted it so maybe LiberalScratcher knows the source. Apparently it was taken by Brianna Wu
