Just watched a video about FaZe Clan. Used to be a relatable gaming group mostly on Call of Duty during the early rise of online gaming content— some of the first to use capture cards to record gameplay and upload raw footage or cut compilations on YouTube. Far as I understand people liked them because they were relatable but as the money started flowing they became highly corporate and influencer-like, getting streamer houses and stuff like that, and so people started noting a disconnect and stopped caring. FaZe has been clawing to stay relevant for a years now so it’s kind of interesting to see where they’ll go from here.
Tbh the only reason I've got an ounce of care about FaZe is because their CSGO team is pretty cool. The "clan" itself is just this weird baggage that comes with the name.
is this interesting to people? i’m genuinely curious.
I'm interested to see it took this long tbh

It’s vaguely fun schadenfreude if you follow the space closely.
