"Why doesn't Striker delete his channel and start over? He's still benefiting from impersonating Technoblade." --- My Take
This is a copy and paste of a comment I left in a different post, I just thought i'd make an entire one about it, because I've seen this argument a lot and I just thought I should let more people see what I think about it. Mods, if it isn't okay to just re-use stuff like this, I totally understand removing this post.
In my opinion, the argument of whether or not he should delete his channel is a stalemate. While he has done everything he could (aside from deleting the channel) to rebrand, he still has 200k subscribers, which alot of people see as continuing to benefit off impersonating Technoblade.
On one hand, you could say that subscribers aren't everything. WatchMojo has 25 Million subscribers, but can't even get over 50 thousand views now, and it's well known that views are what really matters. So why delete the channel when subscribers aren't everything?
On the other hand, you could argue that since subscribers aren't everything, Striker could just delete his channel and continue, since if views are what really matters, he shouldn't care if he ends up with less subs.
Honestly, and I know a lot won't agree, but I think because of everything Strikers done to rebrand, because he has respected Technodad and his response, he can just keep the 200k subscribers. Everyone in the Technoblade community is pretty much satisfied with how the drama ended, even people in the Striker community. The only people who are really continuing the drama are people neither community want to back, and bringing up the drama in either the Technoblade subreddit or LarpTube discord server will get you reprimanded.
On top of that, even if he were to delete his channel and restart, it would probably be impossible to escape the attention Technolarp has given him, as striker still gained a lot of fans from his technolarp persona who stuck around to see what he would do next, hence all the fanart, etc.
What do you folks think? I would like to hear all sides of this argument.
