Notes -
So the thing about Fuentes is that he's basically a pure streamer. He doesn't really write articles that people read, come up with original insights, or do any effective organization.
He came up doing political commentary on YouTube so he wasn't ever doing gaming streams or anything before that. Also he's been at it since 2017.
So he's basically in a category by himself, similar figures haven't built up an audience. It takes a huge amount of time dedicated to something that doesn't make much money and has huge downsides to get where Fuentes is.
My understanding is he's gotten bigger recently largely because of Netanyahu burning up so much good will towards Israel on the right.
