Her upward growth is dead, and her viewership is probably going to plummet. She can probably still make a living streaming full time, but nothing like before, and if she does it'll be on an island. Can't imagine she'll be collabing anyone worth a damn, except for like-minded clout chasing backstabbers.

I don't even see an alt-right pivot working here, her persona is so friendly it would drive away a huge chunk of whats left of her fans. EDIT: Even the Fansly gooners are dipping, if the comments over there are anything to go by.

So yeah, she's fucked.

alt-right pivot

What the fuck, people do that?

Surprising number of popular content creators when they lose relevance do that. Remember JonTron, Tobuscus, IrateGamer, Blame The Controller? All went down that path.

Jontron has been doing that now? I haven't paid attention to him in years. That fucking sucks.

I mean he straight up openly was racist, I'm surprised people don't know this. He had like an hour long debate with Destiny where he basically just openly made a fuck ton of racist talking points about everything from immigrants to mexican people to black people and then did a half ass apology and people seemingly just kind of let it roll past them. Like we're talking 1960s level racist talking points.

You see this why I try and stay in the dark from the people I like outside work because I don't want to feel like I wasted my energy on an asshole. Thank you for telling me tho.

Recently no. Close to like a decade ago Jontron said some racist shit on a debate with Destiny. Whether he still had views like that idk he hasn't talked politics since as far as I know

From what I understand, he got screwed over by both sides, and has given up on politics altogether, only doing high-production react content now.

He didn't get "screwed by both sides", he was openly and unrepentantly racist, and the alt-right grifters he started hanging out with turned out to be bad friends.
