    All you need to know is that XQC thinks Drake is better than Kendrick. And that XQC looks down on anyone who cares about lyrics

      My 2 favorite Drake songs are Winter’s Cold and Heart on my sleeve. Both are AI songs so I’ll let that speak for itself with Drake’s content.

          Definitely not 300. And below the main price it looks like it says $14.44, so $20 makes more sense. Also I don’t think there’s enough space for both a decimal point and an additional digit behind the YouTube timestamp, so $20 seems the most likely to me.

          How do these fuckwits become so famous with toxic bullshit. Does he actually make a living with his stream?

            it’s because he’s so fucking stupid that some people think it’s funny, the odd side-effect effect is that even stupid people think that his popularity is because of something else

            so you get this weird community of hate watchers and fans? following the popular streamer and wanting attention/ being parasocial

            he’s extremely obnoxious but it is my impression that being obnoxious annoying and loud is ultimately the winning strategy for live streaming

            You know, I tried streaming for a bit… but I’m boring. I hate saying dumb shit, I hate reacting in any significant way, and if I get too excited, I start mumbling and stop pronouncing.

            So while I hate such characters, I don’t find it that strange.

                  I don’t do Tiktok or shorts. I will do a proper YouTube channel. Do my main video, with bonus episodes on Patreon. Just waiting on getting my camera.

        Nobody should care what literally any streamer thinks

        he’s a streamer that somehow gets crazy high view counts, got rich off it all, is a cunt, and you definitely shouldn’t give a fuck about his opinion however you should pay attention to what somebody with this influence teaches other people

    Between the low pixels and the format, I have basically no idea what is going on here.

    This post is more [mildly] infuriating than what it describes.

    From the awful image quality to the three-part-stitched image to the specific claim without no source context or description - this feels like ragebait which may be misinformation or misrepresented or who knows what.

      xqc has definitely said equally unhinged and disconnected BS on many occasions. I’d definitely argue he does not deserve the benefit of the doubt here.

        And what specifically did he laugh about? The price being so low? The act of selling low prices? Did they make a joke about consequences?

    to be fair, with the taylor swift eras tour what happened was that taylor swift sold the tickets very cheaply but scalpers scalped it to hell and beyond, resulting in taylor swift losing out on a lot of money and scalpers having massive wins.

      I wonder why artists even bother at this point. Doesn’t LiveNation offer some way they can sell tickets at their actual value without people knowing? (It itself is kind of a monopoly, but that’s another issue)

      Mid class Scalpers >> Taylor Swift ( 1.6b networth) >> ticketmaster/industrial scale scalpers

      Scalpers are often scum, but true greed lies somewhere else.

    I literally don’t know anyone who would want them. I guess I’ll just stuff them in a mailbox or something, if they’re not worth enough to be worth the bother of selling them.

    I don’t know how this guy got famous, and I don’t know what he does or who he is, but every single time I hear about him it’s negative. Who is watching this guy? Why?
