Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I'm not into videos, at all. My children are and i generally loathe the Youtuber cadence and personalities.
That said, I put iShowSpeed's stream on last night after seeing it here a couple times and ended up watching for a solid hour and then some. The hong kong people he was visiting all adore him! And he does a really good job riding the line of being loud and brash and even a little annoying but still very entertaining.
I saw him do some scrimmage basketball, visit a monument, hang out with a bunch of locals, try a bunch of local food. Sometimes you can tell he's not into the food and stuff but he was never really rude about it just moved on to other things.
He was playfully teasing the children constantly and they loved it. you could tell he was genuinely grateful to have fans and have the opportunity to do what he was doing. He was really decent to all the locals and i never felt embarrassed that he was representing us. Well his 'i'm the fastest man alive' schtick is goofy but he didn't press it too much.
At the end of the day, i subscribed and wish that fella well.
Huh. Ya I can't stand streamers, either. Their cadence, like you said, the need to constantly talk or interject, the loudness, the catering to the young or ADHD (and I say this as someone with it), etc. But you may have convinced me to check actually check his out at least, put it in the background while I'm sling dishes or working from home or something.
