I should remember, that every time I feel like my blorbo is being sidelined by the fandom in favour of a more photogenic ship, I am not alone. After all, Rostand wrote Cyrano de Bergerac in 1897.

Although admonish now means something more like rebuke, especially after the fact, it originally meant warn beforehand--from Latin ad-, against + moneō, warn/advise. This much less known word replaces the prefix with pre-, here in the sense of before.

Tbh something I think about a lot the more I casually watch streamers (my problem is that I am always either asleep or at work when all the Big Name Yankees/Canadians are online) is that we all know that a lot of Youtubers and streamers functionally owe their career to the pandemic. A lot of streamers started because they lost their jobs or were transitioned into WFH, and there was nowhere to go and be during the quarantine, and a lot of people who previously hadn't cared about streaming started watching more of it for the hangout aspect of it, because the chats and communities of these streamers provided a third space and a social hangout, also because the audience had nowhere to be during quarantine.
But what I'm really curious about is how the streamer boom changed the general media consumption habits of the people who got deep into streamers. I know that after 2022 the streamer/Youtube market had a bit of a bubble burst, and now in 2025 we're seeing the long-term fallout from online video no longer being as lucrative and selling adspace no longer having the big payouts it did before. Like, regardless of the pie getting smaller, streaming is definitely way more popular in 2024-25 than it was in 2018-19. A lot of people who used to watch tv and streaming services casually have simply stopped, the blame being laid in the feet of streaming services for becoming worse products, but I'm curious what percentage of those people get their entertainment from the kind of live performances streamers provide instead.
bagatelle [bag-uh-tel]
noun:
1 something of little value or importance; a trifle
2 a game played on a board having holes at one end into which balls are to be struck with a cue
3 a short literary or musical piece in light style
Examples:
If anything, the slowly accumulating final chord of the bagatelle could have set up the softly arpeggiated one at the start of 'Twilight Way', the first of the 'Poetic Tone Pictures.' (Joshua Barone, Review: Dvorak’s 'Poetic Tone Pictures’ Makes Its Carnegie Debut, New York Times, February 2023)
Pinball got its start in 18th-century France with the billiardslike tabletop game bagatelle, which used a springlike launcher. (World-ranked pinball wizard is reviving the game in San Antonio with a new startup, san Antonio Express-News, March 2020)
When you are caught in a web of conspiracies, the best of deeds becomes a mere bagatelle, as we find in the fall of Udensi. (Henry Akubuiro, Travails of a Good Samaritan , The Sun Nigeria, March 2021)
Among the most divisive issues in philosophy today is whether there is anything important to be said about the essential nature of truth. Bullshit, by contrast, might seem to be a mere bagatelle. (Jim Holt, Say Anything, The New Yorker, August 2005)
'Overdue; was the title he had decided for it, and its length he believed would not be more than sixty thousand words - a bagatelle for him with his splendid vigor of production. (Jack London, Martin Eden)
The betrayal of one's friends is a bagatelle in the stakes of love, but the betrayal of oneself is a lifelong regret. (Tom Stoppard, The Invention of Love)
Then there were the bird cages, the iron hoops, the steel skates, the Queen Anne coal-scuttle, the bagatelle board, the hand organ - all gone, and jewels, too. (Virginia Woolf, 'The Mark on the Wall')
Origin:
1630s, 'a trifle, thing of no importance,' from French bagatelle 'knick-knack, bauble, trinket' (16c.), from Italian bagatella 'a trifle,' which is perhaps a diminutive of Latin baca 'berry,' or from one of the continental words (such as Old French bague 'bundle') from the same source as English bag. As 'a piece of light music,' it is attested from 1827. (Online Etymology Dictionary)
