    Most people have awful taste. I can remember being a gooberish little Berniebro about 10 years ago when nepo hire Piker was just starting to produce for TYT. He was consistently the worst commentator on the network. He went on to become an Amazon-affiliated Twitch streamer and AFAICT makes a pretty good grift job taking money from 19 year olds who wish they had the attention span to read Nabokov

      What do you think is the net outcome of Piker’s interactions with politics are at the moment (e.g. recently, and up to the midterms)?

        Useful idiots; short-term good, long-term remains unclear.

        This is most of the reason why I keep my opinion to myself every time I see his name crop up every day but I think that he is specifically a horrible person to represent the movement and a good example of just how impossible it is to maintain quality the larger your target audience is.
