    The fact that your comp is Lorde, one of the most famous pop singers of her era. Just proves my point. These guys are on that same level

    and on top of that we talking international reach and bro links washing square park in lets see.... the US

    like 2 years ago the nigga kai shut down union square just cus he was there and hes only gotten bigger since then lol

    dont even bother bro some people just got there boots dug into the ground with this streamer s***, they dont realize that the reach these guys have was done in under 5 years. theres not a single artist that debutted post 2020 that has the pull these top streamers have and its fax. they compare their fame to established artist 10-15+ years into the game

    They see streaming as slop content that’s bad for our youth to be consuming and I agree but you can’t deny the impact these kids have. You have world leaders appearing on these streams

    No he’s way bigger than Lorde. Like I said yesterday speed and Kai are probably bigger than every pop star right now

    Despite it costing nothing to see the guy, none of the crowds you've posted are enough people to fill up even half an arena.

    So the 2025 Lorde comparison is me being generous lol.

    They have triple the capacity of an arena tune in to their streams daily and probably just as many who pay to be members or however twitch does it.

    They don’t have to tour the same way musicians have to in order to make money

    So you spent an hour posting about crowds just to backtrack

    45k people tuning into a free stream is only impressive in the streaming world.

    It happened to Lorde like last month, they had to shut it down. Now imagine Drake or Kenny telling people to gather in some park

    ngl i don't think a mass gathering in NYC is that much of an indicator of anything relatively

    It’s more impactful for advertising than it is for anything with real cultural impact

    Vine creators drew crowds too, I couldn’t move around in Chicago back in the day and was surprised the reason was a vine person

    It’s more like 90-150k tbh

    Also I never backtracked. It’s just a stupid point by you. “They couldn’t sell out arenas” okay they aren’t in the business of even trying to do that so it’s irrelevant.

    You’re taking my statement too literally.

    I’m saying they are the closest that we have today.

    Look at the s*** speed is doing, look at the crowds he draws globally, the language and culture barriers he breaks. Thats some Michael Jackson type s***.

    look at the crowds he draws

    My mistake, it was 4 hours ago is when you first mentioned crowds

    Now it's a stupid point by me? And nobody mentioned selling out arenas.. just comparing the size of the crowd. Close the stream and open a book

    Streamers aren’t in the business of selling out venues so it’s silly to judge them by that same rubric. Also you’re comparing two people to one guy

    Look nobody is saying streamers aren’t popular. Obviously they are.

    The point is they will never be more popular than the most popular musicians or actors or athletes.

    It’s fast food cheap entertainment targeted towards kids. Once their audience grows up, they’ll move on. And once their next internet trend shows up, they’ll move on.

    It’s no different from 2010s YouTubers and influencers and vloggers. David Dobrik was on top of the internet world at one point and not even ten years later he’s irrelevant

    Nobody will care about any of these streamers in 10 years. Mark my words. You’re too caught up in the moment man
