  • Channels running 24/7 reruns saw the biggest drops, with Mira falling from 2,000+ to under 200 viewers overnight.
  • The cleanup affects sponsorship deals and ad rates since brands have been paying premium prices for audiences that were partially fake.

completely agree - if he sucks so much why dedicate so much mental space to an insignificant stranger who streams games or development or whatever online?

i guess people just love to follow minor e-celeb drama, but the biggest dunk you can make against someone like this is to just stop thinking and talking about them. reading people type about this stuff is like being in high school again lol
