The Twitch clip continued with the One True King (OTK) member elaborating on why he thought the content above creators were "overrated" and started by voicing his opinions on Streamer of the Year, Kai Cenat. He stated:

"Kai just yells."

Tectone then discussed xQc, saying that his viewer demographic includes a "bunch of young parasocial young kids":

"xQc just has a bunch of young parasocial younger kids. He streams every day so they can't break the parasocial addiction."

The 26-second-long clip concluded with the streamer sharing his opinions on Adin Ross, adding:

"Adin Ross just f***king fakes crimes. I'm not saying I'm good. That's just my opinion."

One fan shared a clip in which Nmplol didn't seem to agree with Tectone's take:

In the clip, the latter asked the former a question and went on to say that he doesn't believe "anybody deserves" viewership of 90,000 fans:

"Here's my question to you. If you were to see those three go live and see that they have 20,000 viewers. Would you think, 'Wow! They deserve more viewers?' F**k no! No, they just have the same group of people who show up. But they 100% would be fine since (they) have 20k viewers. I don't think anybody deserves 90,000 viewers. 60,000 viewers, for sitting there and reacting to f***king LSF."

Nmplol disagreed, claiming that streamers with a large viewership have "done things to earn" it. He stated:

"No, but the way Twitch works is, you get to those viewer base over time, when you've done things to earn that. And I think over time, each one of those guys has done things that are... 'more memorable enough' to have earned that sort of ability to do nothing and get the viewership."
