    I still am baffled at how some people like this become so massively famous. They’re not interesting, they don’t do anything interesting, and somehow they get famous for ‘being famous’. Every time I see Cenat streaming on Twitch it’s something incredibly boring and stupid and yet 70,000 people are watching. What the actual fuck?

      It’s the same reason we got all those let’s play screaming youtubers in the 2010s.

      They appeal to much younger and more impressionable demographic of young teens and children that are easily entertained through what most adults would probably label as annoying and very shallow content.
