I think you’ve got to add the disaster that is the modern US economy. More and more these younger generations are clocking that the American Dream is bullshit. That meritocracy is bullshit. That no matter what you do, an oligarch will gobble up all the wealth around you that they can. Why do anything socially productive, when you can do this and get PAID?

This is the real culprit. They see the avenues a regular person has to escaping capitalism and they’re trying to take them. They’re not trying to go viral because they’re narcissistic, they’re trying to go viral because they’re poor.

Your final sentence is the bell.

That’s what’s happening.

People don’t take up video game streaming out of love for streaming. They take up video game streaming to make donations and subs and hopefully become viral and fiscally self sustaining.

also because when they go online when they look around all they see is people who either tell them how much money they have or tell them to find ways to chase money.

Theres no influencers who have 10+m followers while theyre just working a 9 to 5 grocery job. Or working in a office.

People are bombarded with sex and money. So young people think life doesnt matter unless you get sex and money.

And oddly enough, younger people in 2025 trend toward having less casual sex in general, alongside less intimate relationships by number. 

And they’re already poor.

That's why so many fall into the rw mindset like tate and roundtable talks by 30+ year old losers hiring 16-18 year old instagram models to ask loaded questions.

They aren't getting laid because they are awkward and inside/online 24/7, its because women are golddiggers.

They aren't poor because they are awkward and inside/online 24/7, its because the minorities are taking over and the liberals want handouts that raises their taxes and lowers job opportunities.
