So what is the appeal of this guy? Why is he so huge compared to other video game streamers?

Is it really just because he appeals to people with no friends, and makes them feel like they have one?
>>
>>338411769
Appeals to kids. Travelled around a bit, so he got recommended in several countries.
>>
He faked all his reactions when he was small and hardly known and got popular cause of it. His stuff is a little better these days cause he quit doing that shit, but still not super fun to watch
>>
>>338411769
He's the post-2010 equivalent of going over to a friends house to watch him play vidya.

So yes, he's appealing to kids without friends.
>>
>>338411769
>>338412742
Millions of kids don't have friends in 2016. That's fucked up.
>>
>>338412827
There's always been millions of kids without friends.
It's only become obvious now that there are, since they're all swarming to this guy.

Weird how i used to hate him because of his shit fanbase, but after watching some of his recent stuff, i can see the appeal. Its also pretty cool to see how self-aware he is over his influence and shit. He seems not to be the kind of dramaqueen other e-celebs are these days.
>>
He found the goldmine before anyone else, and had the time and resources to keep it rolling until he became YouTube's Poster Child.
>>
If not him then someone else.

Good on him for finding a way out of the working to live cycle.
>>
>>338411769
Is he still a big deal, though? I haven't heard that much about him lately.

5-10 minute videos, WOW SO RANDUMB (not so much anymore, lots of editing, people love jump cuts
>Is it really just because he appeals to people with no friends, and makes them feel like they have one?
Actually, normal people watch him. Maybe if you stopped pretending that you're not 16, reddit going, trying to fit in everywhere but fails, underageb&, you'd admit that.
And before you ask how I know all of this, I can read between the lines. Once you stop being so new, you can spot new people from a mile away. It's so easy to tell based on your writing style.

That's because he tries to stay out of all youtube drama and started making better vids imo. I never even subscribed to him but a friend linked me a vid a few weeks back and he seems to be a much more appealing dude right now.

I am so jealous of this fucking craze.
Like, I could be making bank if I just recorded myself getting pissed off at video games and put on a personality instead of working a shitty job. Now the market's so saturated that everyone aside from the top few are just bandwagoning faggots.

Bunnyhop talks about him and why kids like him, and other manbabies like Markiplier in his Goat Simulator video.

Kill yourself

His super exaggerated reactions appeal to 10 year olds who don't understand subtlety yet.
>>
He appeals to kids and young teens sense of humor, just not your on my cup of tea really.

On that note, what does /v/ think of UberHaxorNova?

He was one of the first to do the style of game videos that are popular today. He is also considered good looking by many of his viewers, and has videos that contain more (well-done) editing and such to make them easily appealing. Person wise, he's a normal swede minus the SJW laws and shit.
