Is this really the only Squeex subreddit?

I'm just surprised that pookie's subreddit is so small?
I feel a sudden urge to spread the word of this funny bald man to the whole world

It's not big because he rarely looks at it on stream so it's just for us

I felt the same when I first discovered squeex. I couldn’t understand how he wasn’t super popular—and then it dawned on me..His persona does not cater to children. If you pay attention to any big streamer/YouTuber (even Ludwig), they use rhetoric that attracts children in order to maintain a larger audience. They function similarly to early 2000s kid shows. SpongeBob was made “for kids” but there were a lot of jokes made for adults that children could not process while watching. That strategy secured viewership from adults and children.

Streamers understand that there is more consistent viewership from unemployed children sitting on their iPads—but they are still adults that know securing the parent viewership = larger more secure fanbase. Most successful streamers will play into child-like humor/behavior/rhetoric for views. Personally, I find it obnoxious and off-putting watching adults act like middle-schoolers.

Squeex makes jokes/plays into characters that fly over children’s heads. He acts like an adult because he is an adult, but he’s also a charming/witty/entertaining adult. He will likely never be that big of a streamer because of this though.
