Because truthfully and honestly, I find you guys all to be incredibly ungrateful.
“I find you guys all to have insane egos, and I think it’s disgusting and makes me sick to my stomach that your guys’ relationships with each other, with every other streamer, and your community, included, is so incredibly fake. You guys are the best actors on planet earth, and you’ve made a complete career out of all of it.”
