A few feel that Greekgodx's words are genuine and not a troll. He seems to believe everything he says. Be it pushing a flat Earth theory or rallying against medical science. After today's debate with Andrew Tate, Trainwreckstv also seems convinced of Tate's influence in the streaming space.
"I think there is a lot of deliberate stuff and honestly I am at a point right now where, watching Greek. I would actually use Greek as an example, I started today on Aiden's podcast... thinking Greek's trolling. But I'm beginning to realize, he may not be."
After Tate left the call abruptly, xQc initiated a conversation that content creators should not provide a platform to those who intend to spread misinformation and bigotry. Here's what the 'Juicer' had to say about Tate:
"He is deliberately being obtuse and presenting the sentence as more broad and more whatever and will only break it down when confronted. And when he is alone and makes broad statements... you are bound to see people... they are like the choir, they will have wrong, crooked ideas that are legitemately socially dangerous."
This is the same argument many social media platforms use to ban hate speech and misinformation. Trainwreckstv agreed with Felix's take and went one step further. He suggested that the irresponsible ideas spread by people like Andrew Tate, who make content based on the "shock factor," are responsible for Greekgodx's recent manic behavior:
"The irresponsible factor that we are referring to right now as a result? I think is Greek... I think Greek is the result of his shock factor statments"
Trainwreckstv even gave his theory about why Tate has become so popular on the internet:
"I think he is explaining things in certain ways that he knows will cause a shock factor. Which will cause the social media phenomenon, that is literally causing his blowup."
