I love that Kai Cenat used the word “blogs” in his rant.

Have you noticed "Kai Cenat Claims Kamala Harris, Secret Service Are Attempting To Contact Him/'I don't know goddamn sh*t about politics.... I don't know nothing!" (Vibe)(" I’ve never done anything with politics and these blogs are like 'Yo, you’ve got to do this sh*t Kai'—And it’s all the top blogs")?

I remember 18 years ago, when blogging was new and the high-level bloggers got in line:

Bill Clinton, lunching with the bloggers.

Come on, you'd fly to New York City, to eat "southern chicken" with Bill Clinton and pose for a group photo, wouldn't you? And then you'd go home and blog about how he's good on your issues and how you're totally impressed, right? And, omigosh, "He's got beautiful blue eyes."

I tried to warn them, but my message — stay independent, preserve your authentic voice — got overwhelmed by some very weird stuff. I got — as we used to say back then — swarmed. But I've survived, in my own way, all these years, on my own terms.

Good luck to Mr. Cenat, who is only 22. He was 4 when Bill Clinton was wrangling the bloggers, so social media was always a normal part of life for him. How can someone so young have any idea of the difference between real and fake and to know how precious real is? I wish him well.

Do you really think he's open to, let alone searching for, truth?

How DARE he refuse to get on board with a fellow black person?

While some people are willing to sell out, Kai has longer time preferences. Kamala sucks and he's not going to mortgage his audience for a pat on the head from Team Rat.

Adin Ross, by contrast, had a stream with 560000 simultaneous viewers... And apparently only 1.3 million views. Aside from Google continuing to be evil, it shows how much money he makes when he can afford to give Trump gifts.

Young people are more savvy about media manipulation. Its the oldsters what are vulnerable. I wish y’all well…

I wonder if the government team that called Swift ten times a day to ask for a Joe endorsement are calling her ten times a day for a Kamala endorsement?

Now that SS has been freed from certain security details they’re free to campaign I guess…

I watch streamers on Twitch, Kai has about 12 million followers. He's a gamer making some serious coin. Sometimes he streams for hours with hundreds of thousands of viewers watching. I can see why Kamala wants his support, he's a successful young black man. Search his name and Twitch to view some content most of you are unfamiliar with. He's currently streaming from the back of a u-haul truck.

Yeah I love the fact that he's streaming from the back of U-Haul truck. It's A brave New World folks. I don't think Debbie Wasserman Schultz has gotten the memo. The DNC idiots don't realize that having Don Lemon on speed dial is no longer an asset.

He seems rather excitable.

MayBee said...

Good for him. Reddit is currently filled Kamala and Tim posts. In every sub, and I’m sure that’s not for free

mccullough said...

He should hold out for $15 million. If Kamala wants him make her pay.

doctrev said...

Sure it needs money to hyper advertise on Reddit, but Epstein had that kind of money. Besides which, after the fall of The Donald, only NPC drones are still on /politics. Give me 4chan anyday.

I clicked over to the original 2006 post with the photo of Bill Clinton and the bloggers. Sure enough, there is Jeralyn Merritt, whose post on the near assassination of Donald Trump is titled "Bullet Grazes Trump's Ear, Media Freaks Out." Psycho-level TDS.

Clinton was looking to grab some

Yes, let's take another look at those breasts!

King Modean said...

The Kamaladrones are on 4chan as well, the only difference is they get dragged mercilessly for their shilling.

Achilles said...

The new media is decentralized.

People are now free to watch what they want as long as they are on X.

Youtube and Facebook are not free and without government intervention will die a slow death.

Looking at that photo again after nearly 20 years, it occurs to me that Jessica was (mostly) trying to "maintain" her silhouette, since she was actually a little broad abeam. Clinton's presence right behind her just made it funnier. Not quite as silly as the red carpet posers crossing their ankles to narrow their hips and looking like they'll trip over their stilettos any minute.

Isn't cruel neutrality itself a bias?

Not made to swim in a sea of BS for a longer lifetime, Kai might just be a bit more clear headed than the rest of us.
