Popular streamer Asmongold has unleashed a scathing critique of Twitch culture, claiming that the platform’s community is primarily embraced by “total losers.” During a recent Twitch stream, Asmongold expressed his dissatisfaction with the way Twitch operates and its heavy reliance on memes and inside jokes. He questioned why viewers are so loyal to Twitch and not open to exploring other platforms where they can watch their favorite streamers.
Asmongold particularly dislikes the jokes and memes that dominate Twitch culture, labeling them as nothing more than “insider jokes for losers.” He even refuses to allow certain viewer-created emotes on his channel, deeming them “cringe-worthy.”
Another point of contention for Asmongold is the criticism Twitch fans direct towards other platforms like Kick, despite the fact that it doesn’t display ads. He finds it perplexing that viewers aren’t appreciative of this aspect and instead continue to harbor animosity towards Kick. He also highlights the hypocrisy of Twitch fans who condemn Kick for its gambling streams while turning a blind eye to similar content on Twitch itself.
Asmongold’s comments have sparked a discussion on social media about the preferences and cultures of different streaming platforms. While some viewers agree with his sentiments, others find it ironic considering his own brand and streaming organization, One True King, heavily rely on Twitch culture.
It remains to be seen if Asmongold’s rant indicates a potential platform switch in the future. Perhaps he will be the star that Trainwreck hinted Kick would sign to “devastate the industry.”
