This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

  1. A good anime avatar takes skill = money
  2. Getting people to desire your streams takes effort

Word. I've been watching a really good Streamer who makes her own models, she has very little viewers compared to how consistently she has been streaming for several years and how good her streams are (IMO). She has other sources of income so it's not a big deal for her, but if you were trying to get out of unemployment with that it seems really tough.

Yeah , Twitch/YT have the worst promotional and discovery algorithms for streaming creators/entertainers. Every streamer I watch that isn't from the early days of Twitch/Justin.tv says they had to build a content creation platform elsewhere and move them to Twitch to get any movement. And these creators still only get 500-2000 viewers at most.

Why? This dude has nothing but time. He was on the parents' dime for more than a decade.

Would need $$ for equipment to get started
Would need knowledge to set the whole thing up
Would need to be able to talk and interest dudes to attract and retain clients Individual described does not seem like a genius or go-getter that could pull this off

Yeah, and the being funny and charismatic part is nontrivial. If you are the born entertainer already, sure. If not, well...
