Twitch and Streaming Currently Nerdy

In this episode we dive into the world of streaming, vlogging, and twitch. We talk about a recent 24 hour livestream and the potential money generated from it. We discuss the emergence of the phenomenon and the potential sociological reasons for why streaming, vlogging, and similar voyeuristic activities have become popular. Diz talks about watching Ludwig's stream. We examine the disparity of wealth among streamers and what it reveals about society. We analyze parasocial relationships and their connection to capitalism and community. We discuss the nature of internet communities, social media fandoms, and the power of obsessive watching. This leads us to discussions of Bridgerton, casting choices, and the departure of Orlando Jones from American Gods.
