What sticks out to me is that this seems like half the Weinstein victims. Some were true victims, but others knew they were giving sex for opportunities in the company. If everyone called it the Cosby suite, then I would bet money some of them willingly whored themselves out, but then felt bad about it later.
See how China is run? Europe and the US will be run like that. You will have your DNA in a database, and if any important person needs a vital organ and you are a match? Well, you'll get killed so they can harvest your organs; you'll be arrested first on false charges, and the official story will be you were a terrible criminal.
Have that happen to someone you love? Better not say anything, or you'll get disappeared. Don't worry, it'll probably be in a forced labor camp, at least unless you eventually turn out to be a match.
Maybe? The big thing with Destiny was it wasn't YouTube, the guy was one of, if not the first person to quit his day job and to stream playing video games live for 8-10 hours a day, as the technology finally allowed it. That made many other people realize it can be done, and thus he knew and influenced most of the early streamers of all games, which gave him connections all over; he would do collaborations with top streamers of League of Legends and flavor of the month games.
I used to watch him a lot in his early days, he went to a catholic high school, which while not religious influenced his thinking, he even used to be against abortion. Over time, he went further and further to the left. I had already stopped watching, but I lost all respect for him a couple years back when he moved away from his ~8 year old son (who usually stayed with his ex wife, but he would see often) to pursue "professional opportunities" (basically to chase tail) out in Los Angeles.
So I don't feel bad for him getting dumped by Twitch, maybe it will force him to go back to Nebraska and be a half-respectable father.
He is a case of being successful by being first to the game. He was basically the first person to make a living streaming video games full time with Starcraft 2 on Justin.tv, before it turned into Twitch. He wasn't the best SC2 player, but was still very good, SC2 was pretty popular at the time, and combined with his over the top, juvenile antics, he gained a sizable audience.
He later would start debating people, which has kept him somewhat relevant outside his base, but his core base of a few thousand people have largely been with him for about a decade.
Probably a hit, but there also are plenty of sketchy junkies up in those mountain communities, I know a few people who live up there and they all have stories. Another friend was telling me a time he went fishing up there, and a naked guy tried to sneak up on him; my friend was strapped, so he ordered the guy to go away, and he left.
They had another press conference on the 19th of August, so while still old, it seems the west just got wind of this new one, which specifically mentions how Delta spread during the Olympics (which clearly was after February)
