I can't make friends online and I don't know what to do

Does anyone have experience with making a good, close-knit, awesome group of internet friends to hang out with, play video games with, be comfy talking about any subject, and so on? If so, how'd you do it? I've tried everything without changing who I am as a person. I mostly want friends so I won't be lonely playing video games, so I can enjoy my gaming life (which at this point is all I have going for me.) and not be so damn bored and lonely. Here's everything I've tried:

-Becoming "e-famous" via social networking sites. All this did was make redditor normies seek me out to slander me for hating on women, trannies, etc.
-Becoming "high rated" at video games. As in being a top .01% player and even being on an e-sports team.
-I've tried joining all manner of variety of guilds. Be it all-inclusive that's full of e-thots, trannies, and boomer dad gamers, to the downright pure racist hateful misogynistic "famous for crashing in-game funerals" types of guilds. All of them find me purely insufferable for embracing Any Forums mannerisms or having my income come from playing shitty video games.
-I've tried seeking out trolling and griefing communities. I've even tried the complete opposite. Anti-trolling and anti-hate communities. They all seemingly either implode from too much in-fighting or people just randomly never log in again.
-I've tried hanging out in /vg/ threads 19+ hours a day being nice, being mean, being indifferent. Doesn't matter it all ends the same. Hated.

"If everyone's an asshole then maybe it's just you." Yeah, maybe it is. But when I am universally hated by gays, trannies, alt-right, the left, sinners and saints, how the FUCK do I make a friend? It's like I just don't mesh well with anyone at all. I don't have this problem IRL at all. I can talk and charm just about anyone. Online it's the complete opposite. I've built up and tore down SEVEN DIFFERENT YOUTUBE PERSONAS over the years, all ranging from 1k subs, 300k subs, 700k subs, etc. Nothing works.

No matter how famous I get, no matter how good (or bad) I am at the vidya, no matter how tryhard or care-free I play them, no matter who, or what I hang out with, no matter any opinion I have on anything, all of it ends with me being hated, scorned, singled out, and eventually /gkicked or removed from some gamer discord community, shunned from forums, pema'd on reddit, and so on.

How in the FUCK do you make friends in video games? How in the FUCK do you find like-minded people to play with? I've tried stormfront, incel forums, you name it, I've tried everyfuckingwhere. I've even seeked out ancient communities from 2005 who were basically blacklisted by everyone for being overly hateful and racist and even THEY can't fucking stand me. I just don't know what to do. :(

you can't find friends online (or irl) because you don't have any hobbies.

Video games are my hobby.

Making friends online used to be easy in the early 2010's. Probably the internet back then was full of millennials and not oversocialized zoomer retards.

no offense, but if that's all you have then you are never going to get online friends because you only interact with losers like yourself that don't know how to interact with others including their own kind because they are such losers.

I'm too far invested. Video games make me money, keep me fed, keep me sheltered, keep me entertained. I am a top .01% gamer, I am also e-famous, yet I do not have a single friend.

Back then I stumbled upon a tinychat link and made very close friends I still talk to now, nearly 10 years later. That kind of thing just doesn't happen anymore. The internet is so lonely

You should go on the deep web and get people to stalk you.

Not even joking. Tried there too.

add me on discord trollwaffen.cuba#1938 i have a couple bad ideas

Discuss them here to help fellow robots.

Sometimes I miss MSN messenger

There's probably some inherit problem with your DNA or something, your brain, whatever. Anyway the secret is that if you are honest 99.99% of people won't like you. Sad but true. You don't have to lie but don't tell people your opinions on things if you think it will upset them, simple as.
I tend to attract a lot of positive attention, and I didn't do this on purpose but I've realized that people often like me because I will match their energy as a way to be polite. My Dungeons and Dragons groups don't need to know how radical my political opinions are, we just need to be able to play DnD together. Me and my gaming buddies don't have to do anything but game and josh with each other. So when I'm playing DnD I am imaginative and creative and try to help people out and be cooperative while playing. If gaming with a buddy and mentions something political I will steer the conversation a different way subtly if I know he won't like my thoughts. If someone brings up a genre of music I don't frankly care about I will give it a shot if they want to recommend me something. To further elaborate, I have essentially never explained my music tastes to people, they get a few songs, but not the whole picture, because the truth is nobody really cares what I listen to.
My energy is very different from others' but different layers of my personal energy emerge around different people as they need to so that I can vibrate well with someone.
The problem is that while I am considered generally very mellow and easy to get along with, I am still left lonely on a deeper level because I haven't really been able to make any real connection with anyone in my life that's deeper than surface level. People just aren't interested, or maybe they just aren't any deeper than they seem.
So you can try to just mirror peoples' personalities and see what that does for you.

This is the real problem here. Even with my closest friends I cannot just openly talk about how I feel about things or what I am interested in. Real friendship is so, so rare and I've been feeling unwell about it for the past 3 days or so.

I've learned how to mimic personas and can do it quite easily. It makes me feel bottled up and eventually all the hate explodes then I get exiled.

The problem is you seek validation from other people and expecting something back. To make friends, you just have to be approachable and chill. Status does help, yes, but does it feel genuine friendship when a person is only with you because you're famous?

Yeah that's basically what seems to be happening to me. I kind of exploded on a few buddies for something pretty small the other day.
I don't think there is much of an answer except to find the right person/people.

Not really seeking validation. I just seem to get hate from the groups inner circles I try to join.

no point trying online stuff after 2017
this pretty much
