Nathan Grayson's upcoming book, 'Stream Big', features nine Twitch creators, diving into their backgrounds, fandoms, and the livestreaming culture. One highlighted creator, Hasan Piker, reflects on his Turkish upbringing and how it shaped his political views, particularly after experiencing socioeconomic disparities in school. His frustrations with Turkey's political climate, especially under Erdoğan, influenced his perspectives on power and censorship, offering a nuanced understanding of his motivations as a political commentator.
