I'm not through the whole video yet but I think you can cut the tech from the title. That's just YouTube or even social media in general. Ego, dogmatism and cult of personality.
Yeah, tech side is irrelevant.
Many people like worshiping prominent figures, and looking up to them for inspiration and socializing with other fans about their adoration and displaying signs of support for them. It's nothing unique to tech.
Kardashians, Trump, Rogan, etc. List is endless in all spaces.
It’s twitch’s entire business model
