eSports teams and streamers didn’t post on social media for the duration of the walk out.
Am I missing something? Was this supposed to do literally anything to support it?
I’m genuinely puzzled. That’s like saying I stopped writing in my journal for the duration of women’s suffrage “in solidarity”.
Aren’t you supposed to do something people will notice?
- ikr678 5y agoWithholding content in solidarity sort of hurts Blizzard's attempts to keep interest in their E-sport franchises. I'd prefer they didn't actually stream either, but they make their living from Blizzard products in a more precarious way than the direct employees do.
- ryathal 5y agoBlizzard doesn't have much of an e-sports scene. The leagues are largely independent at this point for most of the games.
- blitz_skull 5y agoI’d hardly classify NOT TWEETING as withholding content. Withholding streams? Sure, yeah I could see that. But tweets? No one is sitting on the edge of their chair waiting for their favorite streamer to TWEET something.
- trs8080 5y agodoes being written up in the Guardian not count as being noticed?
- bryan_w 5y agoNot really, because it's the Guardian, but in a better newspaper, sure
- IntelMiner 5y agoWhat's wrong with The Guardian?
- blitz_skull 5y agoI would say they were probably noticed because of the Guardian, not vice versa. No real way to know, but I’m sure no one simply noticed a LACK of tweets.
- TameAntelope 5y agoIs your journal read and watched by millions of people? C'mon, we can do better than this.
- blitz_skull 5y agoIf I didn’t write in my journal would anyone know? Would anyone care? No. That was my point. I doubt anyone cared that some streamers stopped tweeting.
