If you ask the typical person — even your most ardent doomscroller with an atrocious screen time — which their least favorite corner of the internet is, they’d probably point to streamers. And, to be fair, there’s a reason for that. Johnny Somali, 25, an American streamer, was recently arrested in South Korea and sentenced to six months with labor for, essentially, being a public nuisance.
In all fairness, not all streamers have built their platforms on doing anything outrageous just to trend on X for half an hour. There’s iShowSpeed, who uses his platform to highlight some of the most underseen corners and cultures on the planet, or Hasan Piker, who challenges the status quo of the political elite and pushes even liberals to confront the misgivings that may have contributed to Donald Trump’s administration.
