Asmongold is a great example of someone whose standard of evidence is so retardedly high that it precludes him from ever connecting any dots whatsoever. Unless someone submits a formal notarized document admitting to their intentions, Asmongold will give them the benefit of the doubt. He’s basically incapable of deduction.
Much of the populace suffers from this retardation. It’s like we can never accuse anyone of anything so long as they play sufficiently dumb.
It’s not outside of the realm of possibility, but it’s far less likely than the bots being theirs.
I could imagine a competitor, or even just someone making some money on the stock freefall, “false flagging” things to make them look even worse, it can’t be that expensive to set up and it has the potential for huge benefits
Also you have to realize there are multiple parties at play here - Disney has incentive to boost the image of ubisoft’s new star wars game, ubisoft has been in the “culture war” lens for a while now with their ass creed decisions n shiet (so it could be part of that without ubisuck’s direct involvement - potentially).
I just happened to watch part of a video where Tony Hinchcliffe says that chinese state media coordinated with a no-name comedian who hinchcliffe called a chink to get him cancelled. One can only assume why, probably just something like stoking the culture war to weaken us but that’s almost beside the point - it’s not immediately obvious who is running any given influence operation:
Yeah that's one reason Twitch doesn't ban channels that get botted. They don't know who is actually paying for the bots, the streamer themselves or somebody who hates them and wants them to get into a botting controversy.
For instance the people botting discourse on Twitter don't always bot their own accounts, they bot random people ideologically aligned with them. It makes them think the support is organic and double down.
Normies see the benefits of supporting the prevailing ideology, all they see is the rewards and incentives and they assume everybody who isn't taking the free money/attention is an idiot who doesn't understand how it works.

The Chinese state gov is both explicitly Han supremecist and incredibly prideful/image conscious. I think destroying anyone famous who says chink is just one of their specific interests.
Asmon has L takes basically everyday. I'd go so far as to say if he is saying something you agree with, you should double check yourself.
Also the assumption that it must be bots is already a faulty logic. Bots can be expensive and difficult to wrangle, and are able to get caught in traps to be prevented. Pajeets and other SEA monkeys will work for dimes a day to do the same task, but have enough human in them to work around those pitfalls while still providing the same script as a bot.
Double also, if a shill or bot campaign is doing work to promote a company or product, then its irrelevant if they personally commissioned them to do it. The end result is the same, promotion. If they aren't openly calling out or working to stop these movements, then they are just as culpable for their existence as if they set them out themselves.
Ah damn, you got me. I agreed with him on drinking soda until our teeth fall out after years of wiping gum blood on the wall, Streaming being harder than any other job, Hasan being a good guy you should listen to, and that he isn't a cancer that has helped destroy the WoW community (and every other game he plays) to this day.
If we agree, I still don't want to be associated with the rat and I'll make that known.
So I'll flip it on you. Sounds like you think he is right 90% of the time so you just forget the large amount of times he is wrong, likely because he has no principles or morals so his "takes" are just one time statements that he never revisits and will contradict a month later. Most of the time because he gets his opinions from his streamer friends with larger brains or to contradict his chat's opinions.
Its really amazing that even if he was right about 110% of everything, his personal life and chosen hygiene state (despite being a millionaire) are so deplorable that it doesn't matter in the slightest.
When he rush to defend Hasan just this year after he was getting roasted for saying that Streaming reaction content is harder than most jobs and that mental exhaustion was worse than physical.
When he spent a large amount of his time calling everyone in his chat retarded for not rushing to fellate him as "working harder" than them, despite them being the ones who give him money from their jobs. Including that Streamers can't have friends (because they are too socially burnt out from streaming) and that waiting tables is one of the hardest jobs normies do.
He rags on people until they give him a crumb of attention or it benefits him, and then he folds to their opinion. Its a consistent theme on his "takes."
He's right. You can raise the possibility, but it's not definitive proof.
In a world where bad actors are usually smart enough not to write down their intentions, no one is ever guilty of anything.
We used to abide by “the appearance of impropriety is impropriety”. Now saying “I don’t recall” a hundred times can get you out of a congressional hearing unscathed.
He paid a lot of people to feed him rare drops in WoW, and then flexed his "LARGEST MOUNT COLLECTION" again and again while paying for it to go viral.
Its not just buying a publicist to promote your content, that's almost neutral on the scale given the difficulty of rising among the crowd. Its that the content itself was faked by literally buying himself to ultra rarity and then bragging about it shamelessly.
So this person understands what bots are, but not why they were invented or what they're used for. Like they're just randomly picking things to do for free without being asked.
Wouldn't be surprised. When it comes to defending his own interests, he goes to some bizarre lengths, like for example when he defended Hasan and his shitty take about streaming being "mentally exhausting" and worse compared to manual labor.
I mean it's possible due to shared ideology that like reddit jannies they do it for free. If you think of it as gaslighting companies to believe there is a 'majority' wanting DEI and that they should make their products appeal to that, it makes a lot more sense.
Alright, in some fairness to Asmon, it actually is possible for a completely independent group to be paying for the bots and shilling for it.
Namely groups that have their monies invested in spreading DEI (DIE) policies and shit everywhere, and to keep the grift going as long as possible. Along with government entities that want to control or shape public opinion.
Personally, I do think it is likely to go either way, a company that could be invested in the company could be buying the bots without the OG companies knowledge, in a vain effort to try and save their investment. A company completely separate from it could be doing the same for reasons stated before.
In this day-and-age, anything is possible. I wouldn't put it past people with an axe to grind with the company trying to set the company up. Everything is fake and gay.

In other words, asmongold is a fucking moron.
Only the dots that could change his opinion. It's the self-protection mechanism of delusion.
Trump kicks a puppy according to one anonymous source == "it definitely happened"
Mountains of picture stills and video footage of illegals torturing and killing pets == "muh city manager says deboonked"
That standard of evidence does keep him from getting indoctrinated by far left faggotry though.

There's new Asmon lore where he washed out the taste of water with Coke, and the spiders are fighting the roaches for dominance of the kitchen sink.

Remember when the Democrats created Russian-sounding bots, had them shill for Roy Moore, and then accused him of Russia Russia Russia?
In a world where bad actors are usually smart enough not to write down their intentions, no one is ever guilty of anything.
We used to abide by “the appearance of impropriety is impropriety”. Now saying “I don’t recall” a hundred times can get you out of a congressional hearing unscathed.
How did a gooney beardo living in a roach infested attic become the most popular streamer? He signed a deal with a publicist, that's how.
Asmon is a ticket taker, never forget that.
He paid a lot of people to feed him rare drops in WoW, and then flexed his "LARGEST MOUNT COLLECTION" again and again while paying for it to go viral.
Its not just buying a publicist to promote your content, that's almost neutral on the scale given the difficulty of rising among the crowd. Its that the content itself was faked by literally buying himself to ultra rarity and then bragging about it shamelessly.

Whats is worse than a shill?? A shill that does it for free. Becoming a shill just to own the chuds.
Someone giving an answer this retarded is best explained by knowing he runs bots himself. So he needs to constantly smoke screen about them.
Wouldn't be surprised. When it comes to defending his own interests, he goes to some bizarre lengths, like for example when he defended Hasan and his shitty take about streaming being "mentally exhausting" and worse compared to manual labor.
Asmon’s blind spots are completely self-serving. He tries to present like a principled person, but he’s closer to an insect.
Of course they use bots for astroturfing.
WWE does it too.
Dave Meltzer says a kind thing about WWE, gets few responses.
Dave Meltzer says a kind thing about AEW, gets flooded with the same angry tweets.
I mean it's possible due to shared ideology that like reddit jannies they do it for free. If you think of it as gaslighting companies to believe there is a 'majority' wanting DEI and that they should make their products appeal to that, it makes a lot more sense.
