The Young Turks and the move to streaming
After graduating from Rutgers University in 2013, Piker worked in advertising sales at The Young Turks before becoming a host and producer. He created The Breakdown, a political commentary series distributed on Facebook.[2][1] He began streaming on Twitch in March 2018 and left TYT in January 2020 to focus on his channel.[1]
Collaborative broadcasts
In October 2020, Piker helped organize Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Among Us broadcast encouraging viewers to vote. Ilhan Omar and Pokimane also participated.[1] He launched the podcast Fear & Malding with Will Neff in 2021; it later became Fear&. QTCinderella and AustinShow joined the podcast in 2022. From September 2021 to October 2023, Piker also co-hosted the political podcast Leftovers with Ethan Klein.[1]
Twitch suspensions
Twitch briefly suspended Piker in August 2019 after he said on stream that "America deserved 9/11" while criticizing US foreign policy. He called the remark satirical and said he should have used more precise language. In December 2021, he received a one-week ban for using the word "cracker" about white people; he argued that the term is not a slur.[1]
