Quinn hating on the game.

Some like to say that there's no such thing as negative publicity. It's all just publicity. It lets others know you exist and gets some of them to follow you.

As much as MPK tends to troll in the forums, he's absolutely correct in that part of the community has been played here. They're now giving this guy views he would have never gotten for the sake of mocking him. People who had no idea he exists now know he exists and might well just start following his streams hoping to get more lulz.

Twitch and YouTube don't know someone's motivation for watching a stream or video. They just know that it's being watched and that move the content creator up in views.

The very people who are hating on this guy have effectively made him more popular.

I disagree, as someone argued earlier the maxim "no such thing as bad publicity" isn't always true anymore. In the age of social media and cancel culture making a fool of yourself in public can easily lead to being blacklisted and losing contracts. He also seems to be a poor streamer so even if he did get a tiny initial boost it won't last but even that's doubtful as his own community turned on him at least as much as the FFXIV players did.

No such thing as bad publicity was a thing when it was hard to make a lot of noise, it's not hard anymore.
