Pigpuncher was a Minecraft channel initially if I'm not mistaken. IIRC Minecraft was seen as an easy gateway into making youtube a career back in the day a handful of channels succeeded, but most were either uncharismatic uninteresting nobodies or kids sometimes both, that were irrelevant and stayed irrelevant.The main problem is that he's only produced one video of any notoriety, the video he aped from Faraday, and because of that, he got to be held up as anecdotal evidence that reeducation is possible (regardless of what any studies that say that the majority of people's political beliefs remain firmly established once they have a set ideology, with political beliefs being so intertwined with personal identity and values). This was used in culmination with the various fluff pieces written about Nyk with him being interviewed by various outlets. Suddenly an unremarkable minecraft streamer gets treated like a big deal. However, this growth is unorganic, something that Alex is maybe starting to learn as he only averages 50 viewers. His infrequent schedule is also a major problem for keeping an audience engaged, and finally his own audience, according to some of my contacts in his server, is going constantly through various sperg outs, people getting banned as the "edgy" streamer can't handle criticism or bants.
If he did actually move out of his house into an apartment, his mother must be paying the bills, he's likely only making roughly $400 a month (his YouTube is 100% demonetized now). If she starts to get tired of the leeching, then I see DSP style e-begging to commence in the coming year.
That's really his main issue and was most likely back in his early youtube days. Literal children didn't like him when all he had to do was record gameplay footage and tell shitty jokes, then why in the world would adults care about his politisperging? Like it or not Vaush is at the very least educated and familiar with academic jargon. Whenever he spouts off word salads or some unfounded claim he does it with an air of confidence and a perceived sense of authority on whatever the subject is that most people will take him at face value, he usually just picks some low hanging fruit to gaslight for a few hours and label a debate to help further this image.Piggy needs to give it up. He isn't likeable or charismatic enough to get a following. Some people just don't have the ability to attract others. A large part of this is because he seems to have no actual conviction and seems to just repeat the things he thinks he is supposed to say.
Pigpucher, on the other hand, doesn't seem very eloquent or versed in public speaking at all really. He's just parroting what Vaush and other leftists YouTubers are saying he's not politicly informed and doesn't seem to care that much he had some success with one alt-right pipeline video and thought it'd be easy to jumpstart a career as a breadtuber. Guys like pig always baffled me. Like you have this guy who is uncharismatic and uninteresting, that has no video editing skills to speak of, who for whatever reason sees youtube as this dream job and the only path worth pursuing, they go from niche to niche becoming extremely embittered and constantly begging their meager viewer bases to donate more subscribe on twitch watch my streams etc. It's just like at some point you should be like " Hmm this clearly isn't working out. Maybe I should try something new." Stop pretending that they've got any shred of dignity left, and start opening and reviewing toys or, start making text to speech Reddit post videos or, make some clickbaity Red Dead or GTA6 Chanel if they really care about attempting to profit from youtube these days.
