>>715863192asmon got in super early and was a giga sperg that did nothing but collect mounts and other gay shit in wow during a time when every other wow streamers was doing sweaty arena content, high-rated arena was unrelatable for most wow players, asmon being a mount collecting sperg resonated alot with the other millions of gay retarded low skill shitters who play wow just to collect ugly mounts and old achievements, and they saw him as their "champion" (wow he's literally just like me" type shit)
Most of the "big streamers" are just people who came from wealthy background and were able to stream super early or they made friends with and leeched off people who got in early.
The biggest streamers on twitch today are all oldheads who are boring as fuck and if they started today would be absolute nobodies due to how competitive the space is now and how ugly/boring they actually are.
If asmon started today, he would be a nobody and would have no chance of becoming anybody, no one would care about the the opinions of some new streamer who is an old bald sperg living in filth in his mums attic, but again, he got in early when wow wasn't a dead game and the retards that played wow propped him up
