Why do people watch stuff like that? I get AVGN type content creators where each video is a visual work that tells a story, and to a lesser extent I get RLM stuff where they are having a potentially unscripted discussion about a subject, but what is up with the videos where they just read the internet to you?
It's like there is a tier list that starts with the New-Age TV Replacement Materials tier, then Friend Simulators tier, and then.... "digital voice assistant who can't hear your commands" tier, which is competitive with, like, an accessibility option on ancient android phone meant to assist sight-impaired people.
I used to watch a lot of these clickbait-engagement/grifter types (not Jeremy specifically but channels he often comes on as a guest to promote his coffee) but it's kind of like the younger version of boomers who listen to the TV just to have someone's voice keep them company. In other words closer to the "Friend Simulators" tier. For others it's addiction to the drama and his reactions to it. I can't speak for everyone but I'm pretty sure nobody clicks a Quartering video or even Tim Pool simply to get the latest headlines in audio form. They'll interject their opinions here and there so it's not straight news reading. It's light entertainment.
Thank you for the perspective. I guess I am just coming at it from an alien angle. What you say about boomers and background tv makes sense. But even the stuff boomers half-watch seems superior so long as they are steering away from talk shows and 24/7 MSM news channels.
Jeremy the dumbshit. Surely you could have just linked the ADL post instead of that quartering faggot.
You don't like his videos where the first minute is the news and the next nine are him reading tweets to you?
