    I don’t know how this guy got famous, and I don’t know what he does or who he is, but every single time I hear about him it’s negative. Who is watching this guy? Why?

    there was an artist in gothenburg (kapten röd) who did a show called “the hundred crown bill” (Hundralappen), where all tickets only cost the equivalent of 10€ to give anyone a chance to attend a show.

    He’s such a fucking awesome dude, love and good vibes pours out of him like a fountain.

    All you need to know is that XQC thinks Drake is better than Kendrick. And that XQC looks down on anyone who cares about lyrics

          i don’t support trump but it’s a bit short sighted people have different reasons to attend rally maybe to get to know why they are voting or just to gain insights

            I’d let it slide if this was 2014, and you were curious about the reality TV personality running for President, but not today.

            You only go to those things to show support, and anybody who doesn’t know what Trump is by now, doesn’t want to know.

            Don’t excuse fascist sympathizers for supporting fascists. We’ve had PLENTY of fucking time for people to realize how shitty a decrepit entity of greed Trump is, there is no reason for any kind hearted human being to vote for him outside of being so grossly misinformed on what reality is that they legitimately can not know any better.

            Yeah just because someone supported Hitler through the end doesn’t mean they were a bad person, either!

            His fanbase offers great insight into their reasons, in excruciating details for why they support the orange turd everyday. Why go to the rally?

              I may be wrong, XQC is a total dickhead but not so sure if he is a magat. I swear I remember the night of the us election he was on stream and asking for everyone to vote for Kamala?

            It’s always safe to assume the most obvious/crass motivations when it comes to xQc. His brain architecture lacks higher-level functions.

      My 2 favorite Drake songs are Winter’s Cold and Heart on my sleeve. Both are AI songs so I’ll let that speak for itself with Drake’s content.

            it’s because he’s so fucking stupid that some people think it’s funny, the odd side-effect effect is that even stupid people think that his popularity is because of something else

            so you get this weird community of hate watchers and fans? following the popular streamer and wanting attention/ being parasocial

            he’s extremely obnoxious but it is my impression that being obnoxious annoying and loud is ultimately the winning strategy for live streaming

                From subscribers and sponsors and stuff.

                In June 2023, Lengyel signed a two-year, non-exclusive $100 million deal to stream on Kick.

                His real name is Felix Lengyel.

            You know, I tried streaming for a bit… but I’m boring. I hate saying dumb shit, I hate reacting in any significant way, and if I get too excited, I start mumbling and stop pronouncing.

            So while I hate such characters, I don’t find it that strange.

                  I don’t do Tiktok or shorts. I will do a proper YouTube channel. Do my main video, with bonus episodes on Patreon. Just waiting on getting my camera.

        he’s a streamer that somehow gets crazy high view counts, got rich off it all, is a cunt, and you definitely shouldn’t give a fuck about his opinion however you should pay attention to what somebody with this influence teaches other people

    This post is more [mildly] infuriating than what it describes.

    From the awful image quality to the three-part-stitched image to the specific claim without no source context or description - this feels like ragebait which may be misinformation or misrepresented or who knows what.

      xqc has definitely said equally unhinged and disconnected BS on many occasions. I’d definitely argue he does not deserve the benefit of the doubt here.

        And what specifically did he laugh about? The price being so low? The act of selling low prices? Did they make a joke about consequences?

    to be fair, with the taylor swift eras tour what happened was that taylor swift sold the tickets very cheaply but scalpers scalped it to hell and beyond, resulting in taylor swift losing out on a lot of money and scalpers having massive wins.

      I wonder why artists even bother at this point. Doesn’t LiveNation offer some way they can sell tickets at their actual value without people knowing? (It itself is kind of a monopoly, but that’s another issue)

      Mid class Scalpers >> Taylor Swift ( 1.6b networth) >> ticketmaster/industrial scale scalpers

      Scalpers are often scum, but true greed lies somewhere else.
