15k Andy :July 10 2019
Many might not know what that title means. It is from a different realm of the world we live in. A digital realm. A very digital realm.
The term Andy is derived from the name.... Andy. Andy is very popular in the realm I'm talking about - Twitch. A centralised and the biggest live streaming platform there is.
I don't really know how this term came to be of such a significance. Honestly I do not know if anybody does. It is a very typical twitch thing. The latest of its kind is "malding". Which is derived from online gaming streamers that are balding + mad + bad at the games. Hence, the crude "mald" or "malding". It is a weird world in twitch, I know.
Before I go off talking forever about twitch, let me tell you what an Andy is and what is means. From what I know Andy was a "stream sniper". A stream sniper is someone who watches your stream and kills you in the game by tracking you down in the map with help of your live-stream. There were many Andys.
After the release of IRL section of twitch; Andys started infiltrating the IRL live-streamers who walked around in the real world while streaming. Some Andys were nice, some very desperate for attention.
Eventually, Andy was the term used for almost anyone who was "steram sniping" with no apparent reason. Then came the Andys who started streaming themselves by leveraging the popularity, even if a little, that they gained by Andying real streamers.
Now if an Andy has 5 viewers, he would be called 5 Andy. If 500 viewers, the streamer was called 500 Andy. Basically it meant that the streamer was a nobody...a "Andy" if you may with a few streamers.
Today calling someone a 10k Andy is kinda like throwing shade at a streamer. Although the streamer is pretty popular and gains 10k viewers calling them 10k Andy is obviously throwing shade. A "twitch" way of calling streamer a nobody with 10k viewers.
That brings me to today's title...15k Andy. I'm turning into a 15k Actifit Andy. Not throwing shade at myself. But there were days I would wonder how to get more than 5k average activity count. These days, however, I manage 15k easily. It has become a norm to me. I am a 15k Andy. Purely because I gain 15k activity count.
Here's what the weather looked like when I was walking around my workplace...to get some work done. Wait, that doesn't sound normal. But in my line of work it kinda is.
