It's a meme, google "largest tax fugitive" if you think he's honestly complaining
5 pages in and people still refuse to actually read or engage with anything in the original post.
Yes, which is why the tax situation is complex and Kotaku amended the article with a CPA's guidance.
Yea regardless of if he's complaining here or not, it's baffling that people making high amounts of money feel the need to point out that some of it goes to taxes. That's not how anybody with a real job explains their salary. Are we supposed to feel bad that he (or anyone else) has to pay taxes?
Imagine coming into a thread, clearly not reading the OP and just the thread title and dropping a stupid hot take
I think it was mostly off the cuff viewers asking how much he made, and him indulging them with an explanation. There's context missing from the initial assumption that he's just providing earnings information just to flex.
Sorry I didn't mean to be too hard on the streamer himself. It's just a pet peeve of mine that I keep seeing pop up when "influencer" type people discuss their money.
Imagine dropping a hot take without even reading the OP. Just imagine.
His main priority was to make this something fun and doesn't want it to last forever at all. He claimed people giving too much makes it more awkward than fun, for example citing that two random people each gave $7500 worth of subs before the limit
Could be as simple as him noticing that sub count was getting low. Subathons are inherently self serving. I think once he recognized that it exploded way past his expectations as the timer was climbing over 24h, and then 48, and then 70, and he's not wanting for income over what he planned on making, he decided to donate to charity.
As someone who started streaming over a month ago:
He's a big streamer who isn't failing. It wasn't about his sub count getting low. I believe he was inspired by a minecraft streamer who became the most subbed streamer on twitch last month by getting like 60k subs during his subathon. I'm not 100% sure but I know he was in shock by watching MC streamer's subs go up. The minecraft streamer donated his cut of the subs to charity. This was simply something interesting and cool for him to do that got out of hand and he had to place restrictions on. He didn't expect it to blow up like this. But he was doing very well as a streamer before this.
It's so bad. We even got a verified user just shit-posting. Expect nothing less from resetera especially when talking about twitch streamers. Like I can't even blame cynicism. It's just outright toxicity. Granted the article isn't the greatest because of the reporter inserting their opinion, but gees.
I'd ask for your Twitch/streamer handle, but honestly, I'm not sure if doing so in ResetERA is a good idea. That said, congrats and best of luck to you! :)
The environment of this website won't change without some push back and it needs a lot of pushback, which is ironic considering the reason this site exists. So many people in this thread violated TOS. "If it is clear that you have not read the thread and missed important information that was appropriately highlighted, you may be subject to moderation."
Literally every forums I visit just has a huge hatred towards Youtubers and streamers. Gamefaqs, Neogaf, Era, Reddit, etc. Literally every dam forum.
Tried out some early NES stuff (Donkey Kong, Popeye). Currently I'm running TMNT: Turtles in Time on SNES.
lol right?
Misinformation campaigns, lack of wanting to properly self-educate on issues and us vs them mentalities.
People just don't care. They'll look for any way to criticize a CC. I reported someone and let the mods know they got plenty of people here, including a verified user, just ignoring the posting guidelines so they can shit-post or feel superior or whatever it is lol.
