Strict rules

  • Communities have a custom Overton window that must be respected by all members.

Power projection

Influencers/Livestreamers will often

  • Foster a single way of thought within their ranks.

Influencers/Livestreamers will occasionally

  • Use YouTube copyright tools to takedown other people’s videos they don’t like.
  • Ban community members for speaking truths that are uncomfortable
  • Ostracize banned (ex-communicated) members and punish remaining members from mentioning or interacting.
  • Act bigoted towards differing opinions

Conclusion

This is an observation I’ve made, but I think it applies to more than just streamers. I think this is every community ever. I think this is human psychology that exists in all groups. Humans are strange.
