I really hope "influencer" is a temporal addition to our society, dies soon, and is remembered in the future as a particularly ridiculous aspect of the early 21st century.

    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.

    Incite a riot, get charged. Makes sense.

    What a boomer brained and probably racist take

    Yeah, a crowd of fucking kids got larger than anticipated and of course got rowdy with no security set up. They should go to prison? For being kids? We should ruin their entire lives and give them a record? For dancing and throwing water bottles?

    Or are you mad that black kids fought back against overly aggressive cops?

    Anything to lock up black people I guess, even when they do nothing wrong
