For nearly a decade now, Piker, who streams under the name HasanAbi, has been one of the most famous political commentators in America. If you’re a certain type of mainstream liberal—or a not-very-online moderate or conservative, for that matter—you may not have heard of him. His precise class of celebrity is difficult to describe, but in some respects, he has inherited the role of the agenda-setting television pundit for a generation that ditched the traditional medium long ago, if it ever knew it at all. Piker streams every day, weekends and holidays included. Outside of a few bathroom breaks, he’s typically on-camera, by himself, for eight hours uninterrupted. Tens of thousands, sometimes many more, follow along.
Other channels on Twitch, the Amazon-owned livestreaming platform, tend to focus on Fortnite stunts and other video game feeds. Piker doesn’t play too many video games live. Instead, for the most part, his broadcasts consist of him clicking around the huge number of tabs compressed at the top of his Chrome browser. Piker ping-pongs between them, offering mordant insights on irritating New York Times columns, Elon Musk tweets, and Jesse Watters meltdowns. His style is open-ended and rich with digressions—nothing canned, no artifice—and regardless of what he’s currently roasting, Piker is assertively unscripted. Like many of us, he reacts to the bamboozling deterioration of 21st-century life in real time. Unlike most of us, he does it in front of an enormous audience, every day, with a chronic exasperation perfectly tuned for the moment.

Hogg won’t be old enough to be VP in 2028!
But he’s old enough to run for Congress in 2026! Phooey!
A lot of people laughed at Jon Ossoff. He became a Georgia Senator.
True. Same with AOC. You have a point.
A feckless America-hating muslim POS. Who would have thought Americans would be so stupid as to elect him? Twice!
Just like “Air America” and Al Franken are “the Rush Limbaugh of the left.”
Just another modern priest of Baal.
Slate refers to this Muslim as "Piker" through the whole article.
Piker - himself - streams as "HasanAbi."
The Hard Left Media camouflages EVERYTHING that might generate criticism or aversion!
No thanks. I prefer to follow the political direction set for us by AOC, Pelousy, Mad Maxine Waters, chuckle Schumer, and Michael Moore. And Oprah. And CAIR. And anny known enemy agents and traitors. Before listening to some totally unknown kiddo probably streaming his unintelligible leftist garbage from his mama’s basement
They are a dime a dozen. The reason Limbaugh caught on so quickly is that no one else was saying that stuff. This clown is competing with MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, etc for the same small audience.
Muslim sounding name. Endorsed by The SLUT. Tells us all we need to know
:: Who’s going to pimp these leftist invented psyop tools without USAID dollars flowing? ::
Well, Slate, for one.
I do not follow v-games - at all.
Woke video games?
That is a completely amazing statement!
Democrats are always looking for a new way to package their lie.
Same here. We live in a very fractured society now, communications-wise, and a person can have a huge audience with one demographic while remaining unknown in another. We are coming to live in separate worlds.
2+2 is obviously 22.
Exactly, and I almost wrote and ‘then who’s going to pimp Slate,’ I mean nobody is actually reading this garbage with any brain cells even the advertisers are only throwing money at them for DNC woke favors.
Of course that then brings up yet another demographic, or democrat graphic take your pick lol.
He’s a Jew-hating scumbag.
Yeah?
Well my son tells me Moslims are crawling all over the male game site on the net making converts.
They seem to be paid.
Moslims are not stupid. They see the fraying g of America.
They will wedge whites via white males
