and for clarity's sake, i will add that i do think irl streaming IS something new. plenty of irl streamers aren't really playing a "character" (particularly smaller ones) and there's the whole chat aspect i mentioned before, which obviously didn't exist with MTV reality shows. but since these idiot kids are clearly playing a role for effect and as far as i can tell they're not interacting with any kind of chat at all, there's little difference between this and those old reality shows aside from production values/audience reach. this is just a bad example to use for metal_dk's "this is what the casual revolution has caused" spiel.

This is post Casual Revolution, exactly my point. This is the next era. It is quite a bit different from reality tv of teen mom, or jersey shore, or kardashians, etc. The casual revolution did lead to this though, at least somewhat.

Casual Revolution is 2007 to 2016 or so. Also streamers on twitch who play/played a character (caseytron is a perfect example, same with dr disrespect) were not being a character to unsuspecting people irl to piss them off.
