It reminds me of the 90s when people who didn't have a computer yet said people with one were antisocial even though those with a computer communicated with more people and more variety than those without ever could.

If the move to a service from China is accurate, then I seriously wonder what they will do in terms of censorship? If he plays any of the shooters where you have the proximity mic, it will take a whole of minutes, not hours, for people to find him in game and yell things that would not be ok from a Chinese perspective. Just figured that a streaming service owned fully by a Chinese company might have things in their TOS that prohibits users for saying things that might get their company in trouble with their government. They can control the creators on the platform, but not the players they play against.
Him talking about conspiracy stuff on his channel is also probably a no go right? Or will their streaming service be for other areas than China, so they don't care? Tencent owns a whole bunch of gaming stuff, so it might not be an issue.

People are making the wrong assumptions about china stuff. They are not interested at all in having Doc stream to chinese viewers, they already have platforms, Chinese "mega-stars" and tightly control all that shit.
They want people like Doc to stream to Western audiences and shape the messages. Your first thought might be "finally! Those commies will shit on all that wokeness!" but thats wrong. They love all this internal struggle bullshit and will stoke it even further. They want to make money off dumb western audiences and make younger people even more dumb and shitty at life. They will just as likely double down on "i identify as a deer" kinda stupid shit.
To be fair as well stuff like this new platform is "only" 10% owned by TenCent, so its still 90% someone else calling the shots. Probably?

Right now China cares more about controlling their own people than some western streamers. Tencent is a part of a long term strategic plan to control the western media and their young(er) generation. Even they know they can't buy a platform or create a new one and start censoring people outside mainland China. Gaining control has to be subtle and time consuming. That's why China has bought hundreds of billions of dollars worth of equity in Africa, Europe and US. To gain control over real estate, energy, natural resources, infrastructure. An example. Right now there's a plan (it's been in the planning for years) to build a tunnel between Estonia and Finland. It's gonna be longer than the Channel Tunnel and will cost hilarious amounts of billions. Right now there's some Chinese investment fund that wants a piece of the action. Basically covering part the cost that Finland and Estonia have been arguing over in exchange to have a say in running the thing. Who's gonna say that they won't buy out one of the other parties 10-15 years after the tunnel is finished and gain majority control of the whole thing. That's how they operate.

I find all the "other streaming service" stuff kind of unlikely. I feel like he had wanted to stay in twitch, and it would have to be some serious fuck you money for him to even consider it. Especially with mixer going down and what he watched happen with shroud and ninja on a community and viewership level

I don't think the Tencent rumor is realistic. Not just for Doc, but Shroud/Ninja as well. Facebook Gaming and Youtube Gaming did better than Mixer more than likely because they leveraged already used platforms, which means they have a pre-installed user base. While Tencent does have its fingers in some stuff in the West, it is nowhere near the omnipresent juggernaut it is in China. I mean fuck, look at how many people got salty about Epic Games store because it bludgeoned its way into the scene by attracting publishers with profitable deals then getting 1 year exclusivity contracts or whatever. The only way Tencent could get a foothold in Western streaming is if they somehow figured out a model by which games could only be streamed on their platform, which would basically ignite the streaming platform version of WW3.

Ya know what, fuck it. I'm okay with this. It's not like they could fucking make things worse. Plus China doesn't give a shit about woke culture.

He is the doctor who engineered and sold COVID-19 to China while working for the Lizardmen. He started streaming after quitting his job in disgust, and he wears the wig/glasses/moustache to hide from the NWO. They finally caught him this weekend.

I guess some of them had the same kind of thoughts back in the day "what are they gonna do, kill all the birds, then eat us?"

They'd probably just firewall him into the chinese gateways so he can play against players the CCP can have executed for doing that.
I'm not sure China will not give a shit when it comes to western audiences doing this on his stream.
For example when they tried to have a chinese team play on one of our lower leagues as an attempt to infiltrate, they aborted it right away when tibetan flags were shown on the ranks.
Controversial First Game In German League For China's Under-20 Team
China’s under-20 side played its first game in German soccer’s fourth tier at the weekend. The experiment in Germany is aimed at helping China succeed in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but such top-down efforts won’t bring long-term gains to Chinese soccer.

Damn, so many of you fail to apply a modicum of critical thinking. Communists, China, Spotify, brime, Iawsuits! Just intense masturbatory speculation.
