PS gave him the choice to do his run it up show, his way. This is how he likes to do it, with a little swear here and there. In my opinion, this is a huge contributor to keeping most of the viewers enjoying the stream (obviously there are some people in the thread here commenting that they prefer his language to be more proper, but for the most part I would consider his swearing net positive for his viewer total, and general entertainment level).
Also, someone stating that he won't get sponsorship deals for swearing is ridiuculous for the following reasons:
-PS
literally just signed him to represent their billion dollar company, knowing that he swears in his previous youtube videos.
-He has done commentating for both the WSOP and PCA. I noticed Somerville did tone down the swearing in the live broadcasts for the PCA, so he is capable of doing that. People like him doing the live broadcast because he has his Run It Up following, and they hope to attract viewers.
-It's just swearing. Generally he isn't using the swears to belittle people or ideas, just as adjectives in a sentence. Seeing as at least 99% of the viewers are 18 years old, I don't think it's a big deal.
If you would rather watch another streamer that will never swear at all, go ahead. But Jason's has worked hard to improve his brand and provide great poker content. He is streaming for like 40 more days straight, and he will have at least 5k viewers everyday, regardless of how much he swears
