I clicked on the post thinking it must be because the streamer is a hot young woman. That was the stereotype of popular streamer doing something uninteresting that came to my mind based on what's been going on with the game streamer community on twitch. Some girl in a microbikini with fake glasses pretenting do read a book and winking at the camera from time to time. Like, yeah, ok, I'm sure you could get as many viewers with sexy beekeeping. It actually seems a lot more wholesome that people are wanting a virtual "study pal" as motivation. That's pretty normal and healthy. We're a social species. If this helps people not feel alone and it helps them get started, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. I'm sure some people also watch this guy because they think he's attractive, but at least he's giving them a positive stereotype, attractive because he's doing something good for his own development vs attention grabbing and attractive because skimpy outfit.

>> sexy beekeeping. Greenlit. 12 episodes. Where do I send the check? Do we see them being stung or is that CGI?

  You made me think, I started wondering about the beekeeping outfit, which is typically thick, loose, baggy. But I bet a latex catsuit would prevent stingers, show all the curves, and fall right inline with this concept. If anyone wants to seriously pursue this, I have the perfect Quebec actress for this role. Bam, take it up a notch! Sexy french, latex clad, beekeeping. "Zee bees, zey are my passion mon cheri" This could seriously work. The only downside, societially speaking, would be those which fetishize the bees + sex. That's just not going to end well.

    It is about the screaming. Just like old horror movie, the selling point is an attractive young woman screaming as she is attacked by something. Then there is the bonus of her having to rip off clothes and/or jumping into water to escape. Then the older male rescuer, a veteran beekeeper, can show up and mansplain the correct method of handing bees. This is perfect for the History Channel's demographic. It can go right between the Hitler/WWII hour and that show about the best boardwalk restaurants for peoplewatching.

Hmm, I’ll empathize that there was a time when I would have assumed that, but ive used tiktok enough to not think that from the headline or by surprised at all by the article maybe just use tiktok for a while, its time. it took a while for my feed to not be cringy but just follow people you hear about (like this article) or that get reshared on other social media sites (all videos have a watermark with the username), and your tiktok feed will warp to stuff like that very quickly
