I mean yeah, there’s also dudes who do in between shifts at BestBuy for beer money.
I’ve never gave any streamer money, just saying if I can loaded and bored id maybe throw like $2 to some dork who provided with some amusement during a train ride or something. If you hate that... we’ll I’m not loaded so don’t worry I won’t be helping some guy who did a funny play through of Detroit Become Human afford Chinese takeout.
I agree actually and I think that the dynamic is different when it's just you and some tiny streamer. You can legitimately get a friendship out of that. But for me, once you cross into 25+ people in a stream that's where it becomes problematic for me. The dynamic changes.
you seem to be hung up on this whole friendship thing
on the rare occasion i chuck a few quid at a streamer, it isn't because i think they are my friend, it's because i like the thing they are doing
kinda like a busker
i'm not a big stream watcher really, but i imagine the difference for people more into watching streamers than i am is that you only come across buskers out on the street, and you're usually doing something, so you might only catch a song or two before you have to get on with shit. Whereas you can watch a streamer from the comfort of your own home when you have nothing better to do

I'd agree but I don't chill with a busker for a couple hours a day multiple days a week.
