Are people hating twitch for real or is it just for the meme (of better than twitch etc)?

The vast majority of 'streamers' are just unemployed with more ~~baggage~~ RGB.

Do you want to date an extremely insufferable attention seeking gamer with a host of mental issues? Not to mention the public hate and unstable income. Being a steamer is only good if you're making like millions, otherwise you're wasting your time being a grown child.

Buddy moved off to a 'streamer house' to live with 7 other people in a 4/2 out in the middle of bum fuck nowhere. Sold Plasma not to make rent but to buy a better GFX card for the 'fans'.

Dude has had at most 7 people watching him. He's been doing it for 4 years now.

I can't hang out with him anymore. No money to anything including driving to places so I have to pick him up. Then everything we do has to be "Live" and I'm supposed to "act wacky" just in case anyone is watching. It's just depressing but he won't be talked out of it.

Oh my god that sounds so insufferable lol. I don't know how you deal with that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I don't anymore lol. That's what I mean. I can't do it anymore. It's too depressing.
