    They will remain there until content creators they regularly watch and enjoy start moving. Mamdani is not that. No one is going to be creating a twitch account just to watch this, nor would they do it for some much smaller platform they’ve never heard of. Mamdani is not the one that will get people to move to new platforms, at least, not before he gets them more interested in the first place. Young people like him specifically because he reaches out to them on a personal level on platforms they actually use.

      Do you just not understand the “chicken and egg” scenario you’re describing? Someone has to be first.

      …and why not?

      Mamdani is not the one that will get people to move to new platforms

      Again I ask, why not? Why couldn’t he be? Who better than someone with his influence, whose entire job it is to make life better for his constituents?

      No one likes him because of the platforms he uses. They’re just already on those platforms.
