The Twitch streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris said in a stream on February 1 that he fled to the internet in 2014 to escape the “Hartz IV” TV, but now even the internet is infested with low-level content. What he sees on Twitch in Germany disgusts him.
This is what MontanaBlack says: The streamer had a nostalgic moment on Twitch on February 1, 2022. He told his viewers that they surely miss some things that used to exist. He also misses many things, like the internet from back in the day.
According to MontanaBlack, the internet in 2014 or 2015 was not filled with people. Back then, there were “two handfuls of people” who could really entertain. Today, it is easier than ever to make money online, which is why there is now “a lot of crap” on the internet, “a lot of dumb people.”
He says:
The longer I do this, dude, the more crap is on the internet. I have the feeling that when I scroll through TikTok a bit or if I am on Twitch-Germany, I feel like I am watching the Hartz IV crap on RTL 2, but I’m actually still on my beloved internet platform Twitch. […]
The German market on Twitch disgusts me. Sure, there are some good ones, but the majority of the people – no offense intended – who create content here disgust me. I just find them a failure, dude. They simply have no talent.
While he may not have the talent to juggle three dildos at the same time, he can entertain people for a long time, has the talent to talk. This quality is lacking in 95% of people.
The segment starts at around 17:15 minutes:
MontanaBlack criticizes female streamers who heavily sexualize themselves and promote their content on Twitch to lure viewers to OnlyFans, where they offer and monetize further, even more revealing pictures and videos:
You just don’t need any talent anymore to be successful on the internet. Are you talentless on Twitch? Then just show your tits and you earn money. Great. This is the platform I also work on.
MontanaBlack stated that it is not about him not wanting people to have something or wanting “even more”: He is only criticizing his employer, for whom he has been working for 10 years.

What is the reason for this? According to MontanaBlack, it is easier than ever to make money online today. Even someone completely talentless can go into a battle on TikTok, lose, and as a punishment stick something in their ass and cash in.
MontanaBlack says he fled to the internet around 2014 to avoid a TV that actively contributed to the dumbing down of people. One could notice: It was inauthentic, people were only acting and didn’t even have talent for it.
The 34-year-old cites formats like “Bauer sucht Frau” or “Blaulichtreport” as examples. He went online back then, put together what he watched himself. But now “more and more dumb people” have arrived on the internet.
Are there any streamers he likes? From the past, it is known that MontanaBlack appreciates German streamers ELoTRiX and Trymacs. From the USA, he especially follows gambling streamers like Roshstein and Trainwreck. He also seems to have a soft spot for Tfue.
This is what it’s about: MontanaBlack, especially, is taken by critics as an example of the “brutalization of manners and language” in the German Twitch scene.
That he is the one complaining about a decline in standards might surprise some.
As an example of streamers that MontanaBlack harshly criticizes, this Twitch couple can serve:
