I get it, it's my money, I can do what I want....but isn't there better things to do with it than that?
The thing I don't get is donating large sums to big streamers. It's like, hey you're already making tons of money playing fucking video games, but here, have a bunch more!
This guy knows what's up
Do you pay for Cable? Netflix? Go to the Movies? You are paying for people to entertain you, it's just a more direct transaction.
I only say this because we are slow at the job and I jumped on twitch for one of the first times ever. I've been watching someone play fallout76 all day and just watched them rack up donations. Just because they are playing the same game we all could be doing. Maybe I'm older....but I just don't get this.

It's personality/skill that people pay for, not everyone can do that.We can play every game they are. We do not make shows, movies, or books.
A lot of popular streamers aren't popular just because of the games they playWe can play every game they are. We do not make shows, movies, or books.
Imagine giving money for watching Fallout 76. Or worse yet, imagine giving money or time to Fallout 76. Madness.

I don't make entertaining commentary while I'm playing...Sporting events then...you could play that sport, but are paying to watch someone else play. It's not that complicated, if person X gives me so many hours of entertainment I'm going to give them some $ as compensation/thanks.We can play every game they are. We do not make shows, movies, or books.
To see people playing it better than you can yourself. The most popular games on Twitch are competitive multiplayer games.I dont even understand streams. To show the game? Sure! But to see people playing is pointless.
I should add that i hate watch anyone else playing games, is so boring
Then do it.

You could be doing better things with your time, yet here you are.I get it, it's my money, I can do what I want....but isn't there better things to do with it than that?
Hm, is a good point
