Streamers Are Wasting Your Time…

The article discusses the influence of streamers, like Kai Sinat, on young audiences and the potential negative impacts. It questions the value they provide, as they often consume large amounts of viewers’ time without offering substantial benefits. The article also touches on the moral implications of streamers’ choices when they reach high levels of fame, such as prioritizing money over authenticity. Lastly, it mentions a potential rift within a streaming group, AMP, hinting at disagreements over the direction and ethics of their content.
Phantom, a popular figure in a group, may be distancing himself due to unknown reasons. There’s speculation about his future actions and whether fans will notice any warning signs. The situation is still developing, and updates will be provided as they come. The importance of sharing the video and subscribing is also emphasized.

Okay, look, just from the title alone, I know some are gonna come in hot. Like, well, movies, TV shows, and music waste time too. And sure, when it comes to movies and shows, I can’t really argue. But streaming? Watching some dude play video games for five hours straight while yelling chat, WRL, every ten minutes? Nah, maybe I’m just getting older, but I’d rather go touch some grass. But here’s the wild part. These streamers like Kai Sinat, Speed, Aiden Ross, they’ve got the youth in a chokehold. On one hand, I respect their grud. Creating content every day isn’t easy.

Even if it’s not heavily edited or in-depth, it still takes consistency. And most people don’t even have the discipline to go on a walk, let alone perform daily for an audience. But on the flip side, what value are they giving? Besides eating up hours of some 14-year-old’s day and pocketing donations from their parents’ credit cards, they’re not exactly dropping life-changing wisdom. Even crazier, some of these kids will support a rich streamer before helping a friend or cousin trying to start a small business or side hustle. Sure, some might say these streamers inspire people, but to do what? Sit on their screen and copy them? What’s the long-term gain in that? It’s just a cycle of digital brain rot.

And now, with how big streaming’s gotten, it’s not even musicians or actors who influence youth the most anymore. It’s streamers. So much so that major artists are linking up with guys like Kai or Aiden just to promote their music. Look, I’ve watched streams before, usually from creators who offered more than just mindless laughs. And I’m not saying there’s no place for chill, low-effort content. A lot of us are burnt out and just need to relax sometimes. But the bigger issue is this. Why spend hours watching someone else live their life while you ignore your own? Whether it’s your finances, your health, your goals, none of that moves forward while you’re glued to a screen, zoning out, wasting time you’ll never get back.

I think streaming takes the parasocial relationship to a whole new level. Since the creator is live in real time interacting with the audience, it almost feels like they’re just hanging out together, which only pulls the viewer in more. It’s one thing to have a stream playing in the background while you’re at the gym or running errands. At that point, it’s basically just audio, like a podcast. But if you’re sitting in front of your screen like this for hours on end, day after day, yeah, you might need to reevaluate, my guy. So what am I getting at here? Some of you might have heard of AMP, short for Any Means Possible.

It’s a streaming collective of six guys who moved into a house together to collab and go live pretty much daily. The most notable member is Kai Sanat with over 14 million followers on Instagram, wild twitch numbers. I mean, he’s basically the Beyonce of the group if we’re making comparisons. Now Kai wasn’t even one of the original members, but his high-energy, loud, over-the-top personality made him a standout. He’s like the Kevin Hart of streaming. Some people love it, others like me aren’t really that entertained, and hey, maybe I’m just not the target audience.

Fair enough. But at this stage, Kai’s reached that tier of fame where he’s showing up at the Grammys, linking up with Nicki Minaj, Kevin Hart, even John Cena. He’s landed brand deals with Nike, T-Mobile, McDonald’s, the whole nine. So clearly, corporations recognize the influence he holds and want their piece of the action. Now here’s where it gets tricky. Something we talk about a lot on this channel is that, to reach that level in the entertainment world, you often have to mute your moral compass to keep the checks coming. You avoid controversial topics, you don’t rock the boat, you become as brand safe and corporate friendly as possible.

That in itself is a form of selling out, because you’re choosing money over your authentic voice. Now to be fair, a lot of us do this at our nine-to-fives. We keep quiet about certain topics, play the game, because we need that paycheck to pay rent. But we’re average folks, we kind of have to. When you’re someone like Kai pulling in hundreds of thousands, millions even, just from donations, you’re not doing it out of survival at that point. And, you know, he doesn’t really need the brand deals to eat. At that point, it’s more of a choice.

And look, I’m not trying to pocket watch here, I’m getting to something. You know, sure, like brand deals bring consistency, but if you’re making three million a month off pure fan support, when is enough enough? Why keep giving up control over your voice just to secure the safe bag? That’s the fork in the road, if you will. Do you stay quote-unquote real and keep full creative freedom? Or do you cash in and let the brands call the shots? And it’s wild how once entertainers start getting serious money, the vibe always shifts.

The poses change, the messaging changes, suddenly you’re seeing all the familiar symbols and imagery we’ve seen a hundred times before. For example, here is Kai posing with fellow creator Ray for a bait photo shoot. And not once, but twice does he display the one eye symbolism. He’s even seen here doing the classic Vow of Silence pose where he covers his mouth. It’s truly right in front of our faces. These poses tell you more than one thinks. It’s like what George Carlin famously said. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it. Even earlier in Kai’s career, he’s seen striking a similar pose.

When it comes to why you see entertainers like Kai doing the Vow of Silence pose, this could be answered by reading from the teachings of the Masons themselves. Quote, the entire fabric of the universe is founded on secrecy and the great life force which vivifies, moves, and beautifies the whole is the profoundest of all mysteries. The first obligation of a Mason, his supreme duty, his chief virtue is that of silence and secrecy. Thirty-third degree Confederate general and leader Albert Pike once said quote, secrecy is indispensable and a Mason of whatever degree.

He’s telling you that no matter where you rank amongst the club, this is par for the course. Now when it comes to the AMP group, one of the founding members, Roberto Gonzalez, better known as Phantom, shared some cryptic posts to his socials earlier this month stating the following. I find shit funny. Everything will soon come to light. If you knew what I knew, you would understand. Nothing is coincidence. Everything is always strategic from them. It’s never natural anymore. Every move is calculated. Funny how you gotta watch those closest to you, but that’s how it goes.

They think they’re actual gods. We know who God really is. Their God is money. Mine’s isn’t. And another post he says, they sold their soul. They mad I won’t do it. He then shared even more stating AMP Twitter page unfollowed me and removed me from having access. I bet. Can’t wait to find out who came up with this. They forgot all the shit I did. I was feeding the team when I didn’t have shit. I was taking a risk. I done got all of us rich. Now many, at least their fans were shocked feeling like there was a major ripple in the AMP collective.

Members from the group responded to claims that Phantom had left or had been kicked out with Duke Dennis simply saying fake news and Kai Sinat responding with the following. Who fell for Phantom leaving AMP? I’m not gonna lie. This just goes to show how much y’all niggas actually watch AMP. No cap. We all know around this time or once out of the year Phantom has to leave the US to take care of his pollen and stuff like that. You feel me? And that, him doing that, just led into like a whole bunch of shit.

Y’all gotta understand you being on X and you looking at captions and looking at a video that’s clipped out of context, bro. You can’t always believe that shit, especially on X. Now ask yourself, what exactly is Phantom trying to say? Is it not in line with everything I just talked about earlier? When these entertainers wanna keep climbing the ladder to success, they start doing things out of character, pushing boundaries, upping the shock factor for more views and reach. Take Kai and Speed for example, streaming in the shower with each other for hours.

Is this the type of stuff Phantom’s not rocking with? Is he fed up with the corporate world getting too involved to silencing their voices? Or maybe he’s just not down with the rituals? I couldn’t tell you for sure, but his words speak volumes. Now I don’t really got any dramatic for you on this one. I more so just wanted to drop a few thoughts. From what I can gather, again, I don’t watch these guys content and I don’t know them personally, but it does seem like Phantom’s moving with a stronger moral compass than the others.

Maybe he’s noticing his peers drifting deeper into the allure of fame and wealth. And maybe he’s drawing the line before losing himself chasing a bag. Now I did notice AMP uploaded a video like a few days ago that does feature Phantom. So who really knows? Is Phantom trying to speak up? Is this just a random rant, which I highly doubt? I mean, let’s see how it unfolds over the next few months. I saw someone comment, I can’t remember where, but I got a good laugh out of it. He said, if Phantom pops out with some blonde hair next and I’m just gonna throw it in there, maybe some one eye symbolism, you know, then we’ll kind of know where he stands.

But as of now, is he officially cutting ties with the group? Will fans actually pay attention to the red flags or just keep letting these streamers harvest their energy? As always, time will tell. If anything new comes up, I’ll do my best to cover it. But for now, that’s all I got. If you liked the video, do me a favor and hit that like button, share your comments down below. Is Phantom the only one in the pack willing to keep it real at the expense of lost opportunity with big brands? Or is this just one big misunderstanding within the group? Don’t forget to share the video and most importantly, subscribe, man.

It’s been your boy, Scripp, and I’m outta here. Peace. [tr:trw].
