Lets stop for a moment and assume that streamers bust their humps day in and day out in an intellectually challenging job. By that logic they are still spending 8-12 hours a day gaming or interacting with other gamers and working out how to better appeal to gamers. My point is its gamers all the way down, the cohort is generally known for being: 1.Straight up hostile to women, and only 3 out of the top 100 streamers on twitch identify as female. 2. Inside, alot. 3. Overreactive 4. Weirdly libertarian

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:I think the streamers probably work harder than most people think but also don't work hard enough to justify being millionaires but also the same thing can be said for all millionaires, so that's just life I guess Conversely I don't have to pretend that some millionaires are "better" and don't deserve the guillotine just because they made their money playing video games (but realistically, mostly preying on children and the video games are coincidental)

Yeah, I jumped over to see how Dr. Disrespect was doing having been resigned to YouTube Live gutters, and he's actually got more viewers than most top Twitch streamers with people rolling up with $100 donations non-stop. I'm trying to figure out if he's better off now, than before. Financially, probably. He set chat allowed for non-subscribers and it was immediately racist white power neo-nazi poo poo everywhere. gently caress Biden, Go Trump. It went right back to sub-mode only chat. Depressing.

But but but they don't have a "real" job! Same complaint chuds use against onlyfans people and similar. The world is a lovely unfair place that grinds the poor into perpetual servitude and these knobs are angry a few people managed to bungle their way out of their expectes fate.

It's been pretty enlightening seeing folks rush in to disparage something they apparently know nothing about. "They all say the n-word and hate women!" gently caress off with the stereotyping. It's lazy and shows your ignorance.

The little bit I did listen to was him talking more about the process of going from essentially never having viewers to attracting and retaining a crowd and how speedrunning set him up for that.
