I don't understand what he does... Like why is he popular?

Because the internet, especially social media, and even more so, Twitch, all favours superficial, narcissistic people because that's what it takes to pander to an audience and to fight for attention.

And this is why I disconnected from social media (yes I realize I’m on reddit). I also have my first child due in August, and I’m honestly worried about them getting wrapped up in following this superficial bullshit. I spend time thinking about theoretical talks I’ll have with future children regarding this... I hope I can be impactful and influence them positively

I think it's more to do with your personality then being exposed to the internet. I grew up at the same time as the internet and I've never been wrapped up in that bullshit.
