Huh. I've seen the emote but never knew its history. What a rich tapestry the internet is.

Huh, it was always explained to me (by other gamers) as Player of Game Champion. Like mvp but for video games

Yep that's what it means. If you call someone a pogchamp, that is what you're saying, but the word itself comes from the emote

So the emote comes from a game of pogs but pog in chat still means player of game? Wack

That can be a little cringe, but I do enjoy at least asking my students to like and subscribe at the end of a remote class.

Oh. And this semester I kept hitting ads mid lecture during in-person lessons (it's hybrid) so I've promoted ublock origin several times as my "our sponsored by" segment.

Yeah, e.g. recently we're doing persuasion and ironically we look at ad messaging for examples. To keep things interesting, I ask the students to link me an ad and we break it down in real time. But first, we get an ad... to watch an ad. Lol
