Destiny did not create the trend for mechanical keyboards... That is, unless there is a better way to actually search for Destiny on Google trends and not end up getting spikes related to the game of the same name, that suggests otherwise. Though, yes, Destiny more or less did create Das Keyboards specifically. I probably would have never known about them were it not for Destiny.

Also... Day9 might have had more influence? Might have? Sorry, but You were not remotely close. You were an important figure, sure, but Day9 by almost all measures has been the predominate single figure of the foreign Starcraft community. You were much more comparable to figures like Artosis, Incontrol, Idra, etc. But none of these figures had the online presence that Day9 did through the Dailies, Funday Monday/Newbie Tuesday/etc. And even then, just because you appear in google trends doesn't mean influence (some of those people hated you. It is safe to say people like Artosis and Day[9] have less people who just simply hate them causing their larger google results).

Furthermore, I should point out, just because you had extremely good viewer-hours does not necessarily mean you had more influence. It means the 3000 or so people that watched you would watch you consistently and during your entire stream. This meant you were an excellent streamer, which isn't necessarily the same as "having influence". What happens once a sponsor has sold products to those 3000 people who constantly watch you? What happens once the sponsor has already sold products to those 3000 people and you decide to call someone a "gook" and tell them to kill themselves on stream (one of many examples)? You probably had a good attach rate for products (loyal fans) but you're also way too high risk to have as a long term partner because, frankly, you tended to do crazy shit that wasn't worth long term professional relationships. Once those people have bought the product, there's really no reason to continue the risk.

In fact, I think that acts as a good way to explain your inability to hold long term professional relationships in terms you understand. Someone like Idra would stream for a week and pull in an insane number of viewers during that week. Yet because it was unreliable, (he rarely streamed) people gravitated towards a constant content developers (You, Day9 Dailies, etc.). This constant and reliable content is a measure that you have cited as one of the definitions for success. Yet, at the same time, you would would create beneficial relationships on a short term with people or organizations, because you have a constant and highly loyal fanbase, but were unreliable (call people "gooks" on ladder, tell them to kill themselves, create "out them" videos such as this one, etc.) in the long term, so they ultimately gravitated towards constant professionals of the community (Again, someone like Day9, or Incontrol, Tastosis, Liquid, etc) because they are unlikely to be unreliable in this regard. You can't focus on just one of these things. You need to create constant content and have a constant level of professionalism. You do very good at one, and may be somewhere between bad and terrible at the other.
