You. You are doing that. You’re telling me that he shouldn’t consider a different platform, he should continue generating revenue for Bozos, and that any other option is “psychotic”. I don’t know how you possibly form an argument otherwise.
Gmail is 30% of global email traffic. It doesn’t matter what platform I choose, my message is still going to end up in someone’s Gmail inbox
Why does that matter? You can make that choice for yourself, as can Mamdani. He cannot control other people’s actions (unless by law), but he van 100% control his own.
Why not should be obvious: the NYC Mayor’s office isn’t in the market of building, hosting, operating or managing social media platforms. Full stop.
My response should also be obvious; they are also not “in the market” of running Twitch livestreams. He can elect to do that regardless.
That takes money, time, marketing and expertise and provides zero value to his constituents beyond performative fuzzy feelings.
It provides a platform that his constituents can follow and engage with him on that isn’t owned by the broligarchy, and doesn’t require them to subject themselves to all the horrific things billionaires make them do. Again, this should be super obvious to anyone with an absolute modicum of sense.
Well shit somebody call up Amazon and let them know!
Holy shit, do you really think Mamdani is going to have the fucking entirety of Twitch watching his livestream simultaneously? Did you think about this before you blurted it out at all? Do you know anything at all about hosting infrastructure? Jesus Christ…
If you’re so smart and righteous what’s stopping you from building your own platform for these politicians?
…money? Money they have and I don’t? You call me a troll but you sure act like a paid actor sent to come here and ask stupid questions.
Why the fuck should Mamdani have to do it?
He shouldn’t. He doesn’t. He also doesn’t have to live stream at all. Short of those answers, because no one else is?
but don’t care about these corporate vultures?
I’m sure they’re all bad. You know what? There’s no alternative to them. Its a multi billion dollar business. You can’t say the same for Twitch. It probably wouldn’t even take $1k to set up a live streaming server that could handle Mamdani livestreaming levels of traffic.
Edit: “No alternative to shipping companies” but there’s somehow an alternative to reaching millions of people all on a single platform that they’re not leaving due to social inertia. Get on a bike loser, you can’t carry a package?
You need to educate yourself or keep your mouth shut. There are plenty of people who put a lot of time and effort into optimizing political engagement and weighing the pros and cons of all avenues.
400k people tuned in live to watch a one-off stream of AOC playing Among Us on twitch. 4.8 MILLION people watched the vod and that was nowhere near “all of Twitch”.
I want to see YOUR math on building a system that can do that with any consistency and then fit that into a mayor’s budget. Show me your road map to even sniff that audience size; where is your marketing spend going? Then on top of that, show me that there’s no better way to spend that money from the political war chest; explain how not generating a few pennies for Amazon is worth cutting N community outreach/charity events.
I’ll even help you out: we have a great comparison and it’s publicly traded so we know a bit about it. Truth social has about 6 million MAU, so we’re almost reaching that AOC Among Us scale (assuming they all engage with your stream). It took something like $5-$10M to stand up and costs $60M to operate every year. They ate a $31M deficit in their first year.
If you want a mayor to shell out that kind of money as a political stunt… I guess you must love millions of big-donor dollars that finance that kind of thing.

Girl try disinforming a little harder.
