While I agree The reading of super chats "meta" in streaming may have been the most disgusting parasocial innovation possible, I hesitate because it's been like this since the dawn of celerity. Nick worshipping Dax is a prime example and Nick's acolytes even despite all this information have all circled wagons around him likely because he got them their start.
The problem here is that Lawyers have been reprogrammed to view everything through a relativistic, argumentative legal-eese lense and have lost their sense of basic moral decency. (of course they pretend to have it for the streams and views though). Combine that with loyalty and you get a complete fucking disaster that dwarfs the skeptophere collapse.
Shoutout to Dragon's Treasure Tea guy for holding steadfast to his morals. He has probably the best take on this among Nick's associates. Not sure if his video was posted because light speed 100 pages a day thread, but:
