@The_Girlie_@realGlazed@Dexerto most popular chess content creator, not the most popular chess personality as the first tweet which i replied to was leaning towards. magnus is way more famous and well known than levy ever would be and i was debating on that stuff for which i replied on the comment.
@The_Girlie_@realGlazed@Dexerto because noone can can sit for 5 hours watching 2 players make a move in every 10 minutes, it's just about attention spam. why would you watch 5 hour game when you can watch 10 minutes recap.
@The_Girlie_@realGlazed@Dexerto bro, oyu are stuck on views, as if he gets 5 million views on every video, most of his videos aren't even about events. but yeah there people like you who came to know about vents because of levy but not as much as you think
@The_Girlie_@realGlazed@Dexerto again you are generalizing it, as if all the chess stars are known because of levy. most of the people who watches levy's videos they already know plenty about chess, he definitely adds more to them but not the only one because of whom they came to no about the other tournaments.
@The_Girlie_@realGlazed@Dexerto he definitely made an impact but saying that people know chess because of him and everyone came to know about chess once he started making content as if there was noone like magnus or other players before him is just a stupid take.
@The_Girlie_@realGlazed@Dexerto yeah levy definetely added to chess world but not as much as everyone says, there was a chess boom happeing in covid because fo several factors for example people has so much free time and then there a series on netflix that made people qurious about chess,
@The_Girlie_@realGlazed@Dexerto and levy also was a factor in this but more than that it was his personal achievment much bigger than chess popularity because of him also how many tournament does levy covers except for one where magnus plays.
@Pits_animator1@aresthethird4@aresthethird2 how does that change the fact that he is very performative and he has some superiority complex as if he knows everything about movies.
@radiant_ascent@LPI4India do you really think anyone would study on their platform, because i don't think it would provide quality education and can compete with other's faculty,
@realGlazed@Dexerto gotham became famous because of chess, chess was always there he didn't invent it and there were players like magnus and hikaru who were already taking chess to newer audience. and then there is anand who brought a whole nation of a billion people into chess.
