Remember the internet before YouTube was making millionaires? When the big thing was who you were gonna build your homepage with instead of who you're subscribed to? Before Twitch streamers were framing the way social issues were discussed? We do. And it was not so long ago. Alas, now we're in a world where all these things are reality. So whether you like it or not, YouTubers and Twitch streamers are able to insert themselves into the social narrative in way that some would say is negative. In some some cases, they've become the narrative. This week we're discussing some of the current ways in which this is taking place and what type of impact its having on how we consume media, both on and off the internet. The final segment of this week's show focuses on an interview with one of the quest designers of Cyberpunk 2077 and gender fluidity in video games.
