To quote this piece: “Streamer University line: from Justin.tv days to 2026,” We Them Media, filmed 2026-06, https://wethem.xyz/watch/streamer-university-line-from-justin-tv-days-to-2026. Each transcript line links to its second.

Someone who was around for the Justin.tv days is standing in line outside Kai Cenat’s Streamer University auditions in New York. Back then streaming was a hobby and nobody expected it to get big. Some people joined this line at three in the morning, and the line itself is the proof. After that comes a rapper who offers to run the cafeteria and calls Kai Cenat the Michael Jackson of streamers, and an artist who streams every day and says nobody grinds harder.

Filmed in June 2026. The transcript below is from the original audio, trimmed to match the video.
