    A youtuber with 5 million followers and 5 billion views, and has won “Streamer of the Year” at the streamer awards in the past.

    If you’re asking out of genuine curiosity: a youtuber with a lot of influence.

    If you’re asking to brag how out of touch you are: someone with more influence than you.

        no. but asmongold, even if you dont like him is one of the larger, more influential people out there. Should he be? Is his content that good? Doesn’t matter.

        “Who even is that” heavily implies “why should I care” and the answer is: because he has a fanbase of rabid morons incapable of independent thought who will do whatever he says to do. So linux spaces are very likely about to be bombarded with people who hate linux without having ever tried it because asmongold said he didn’t like it, or a bunch of people adopting linux.

        It also heavily implies “Im proud of the fact that I dont know who this person is.” Which is just not impressive. “Taylor Swift? Who is that?” indicates you are living under a rock, not that you are cool. And aside from pewdiepie, asmongold is probably one of the youtube gamer names people know.
