Deng memes aside, there is no human reason why anybody should be dropping millions on a house in LA, particularly not at the moment, particularly if you are a public figure who might have reason to not want to look like a decadent and detached elite.
2.5 million dollars would be much much better spent on property by, I dunno, buying a piece of wilderness the literal size of Los Angeles and either keeping it that way or turning it into Hammer City But Good, or something. To drop it on just a house, for just you, is once again a bad look.
Anyway, I don't think socialism is about a bunch of people tut-tutting over other people's successes and image-policing them. You told VeganVelveeta to put aside the Deng memes, but you should really absorb what Deng said there- Socialism is not poverty. There is nothing wrong with being successful.
I don't know (or really care) too much about this guy, but Twitch streaming has to be one of the lowest-exploitation ways to make money. Contrast it with starting a business and getting rich off the surplus value you aren't paying your employees, for instance.
Seems like most of the actual houses though break a million at least, but if old Hasan was fine with a condo he could get some nice digs for under 750k
Like, he'd probably have to lay down a few hundred grand up front which is nothing to sneeze at. Or he's on like a fifty year mortgage cause his credit was really good.
I started to napkin math this but it was getting out of control fast.
The numbers I'm using are 39,057 average viewers and 77,627 peak viewers assuming 1080p 30fps requiring 167.615 GB/s average and 333.139 Gb/s peak.
How to implement this is sensibly is well beyond my knowledge but I guess you could load balance it over 35 or so 10 Gb/s dedicated servers but you'd already be looking at over $30k/month (I only looked at ovh) with almost all of the capacity being wasted since he doesn't stream all day and will not always be at peak viewership. I don't want to think about DDOS.
Would love to hear from someone who knows how to scale this in a non-stupid way.
Probably it can only make sense to make a streaming site as a cooperative of streamers :RIchard-D-Wolff:
not really relatable. unpaid internships are usually done as some bullshit exercise to get free labor under the guise that they might later be hired. a voluntary internet cop knows full well their job is and always will be unpaid, and voluntary. if they're not okay with that, they don't have to be an internet cop. it's not difficult.
It sure is. Did anyone not know Hasan was making bank? Why are we upset he is being paid well for his labor?

So your only real problem is that you think it looks bad. You think it's gauche for a self-proclaimed socialist to be wealthy and successful.
I believe it is gauche for a self-proclaimed socialist to spend 2.5 million dollars on a single residence in the city of Los Angeles.:yes-chad:
no youre the crying soy wojack not chad

*When you didn't get there by exploiting others (which isn't the case here).
Because he had mods or like?

Oh I misunderstood what you wrote. I agree.
All good comrade
"How much could a single residence in the city of Los Angeles cost? $500.00?"
Socialists aren't entitled to continue living in their home city, you see
Socialism is when you let only the gentrifiers own homes.

Oh boy I have a reason to go fucking around on Zillow now!
IDK much about LA geography so maybe this place is in a shit neighborhood, but a bit over 500k gets you this fairly comfortable looking townhouse
For just under 500k you can get a pretty nice condo
Seems like most of the actual houses though break a million at least, but if old Hasan was fine with a condo he could get some nice digs for under 750k
You know that people don't buy houses fully paid with cash up front right? Dude probably got a mortgage.
You know, I'm starting to think a lot of people in this thread don't know that.
Like, he'd probably have to lay down a few hundred grand up front which is nothing to sneeze at. Or he's on like a fifty year mortgage cause his credit was really good.
I dunno about you but if I had millions of dollars I think I might not continue to generate wealth for Jeff Bezos.
Yeah he should simply start his own twitch
"How much could 1 Twitch cost? Surely the amount Twitch has paid a single streamer."

You do know how buying a house works right? At most the luscious himbo put down like 400k.
That's still a lot, but it's not like he has enough to be independently wealthy. :vivian-shrug:

Surely nobody would moderate online communities for free, right?
Unpaid Interns aren't exploited, because its voluntarily.
:ancap-good:

Any source on exploiting mods or other staff? I haven't heard of that.
Literally nobody pays their mods and if they did they'd be bragging about it. They're textbook exploited labor.
Edit: I forgot about this also

Apparently he ended up paying the guy.
So he paid the other guy, good. He should pay his mods too if he doesn't.
He paid after it blew up and made him look bad.
He paid the other guy and should have paid him sooner.
