As the abstraction of the act of streaming from its individual particularities, NPC streaming presents the distillation of the streaming profession, resulting in maximal efficiency in revenue generation. A quantitative increase in this kind of stream will eventually result in a qualitative transformation of the industry where it will be sublated by an entirely novel mode of production, namely the streamer-capitalist who relies entirely on the viewer for both the production and the consumption of their product, and who will eventually become a node in a never-ending tree of subcontractors.
I didn’t watch the video either, can’t stand that guy. I just tried watching one of them for myself. Interestingly I had more trouble finding actual streams or footage of them than I expected, 99% of search results are just dipshits reacting to it and trying to monetize their reactions or “explanations” of the trend than the actual content itself.
