Justin Bieber Has Started A New Venture — Becoming A Full Time Twitch Live Streamer

When you ask a kid what they wanted to become when they were older a decade ago, the answer would have been an astronaut, lawyer, doctor, the next LeBron James, or maybe even Justin Bieber. Somewhere along the way that switched, and now I think in unanimous fashion you'd receive the answer of "livestreamer". It's almost hard to fathom how big live streamers have become when you look at guys like Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed who are legitimate A-list celebrities:

Like I mentioned in the IShowSpeed blog, it doesn't make any sense to a large percentage of people above the age of 35 how a 20 year old kid can walk around with 20,000 people chasing him like he's Michael Jackson in his prime. I mean just look at this:

So the answer to what A-list celebrities want to do now is become the very people that took them over, and looks like JB is doing just that. I don't know what compels a guy with checks notes 293 MILLION Instagram followers to start having a camera follow him around live everywhere he goes, but looks like JB is doing exactly that. 

I'm old enough to remember the days of the General owning the livestreaming space back in the prime Fortnite days:

Imagine kids chasing him around lobbies while he goes and destroys the entire competition? Or he travels around South America to a bunch of kids with Ronaldo jerseys as he spreads the good word of Philly sports and eats some local cuisine in salchipapas? God I miss that man. 

As long as JB doesn't head to NYC and try to give away PS5s, he may be just fine:

What a timeline we live in.
