[quote]Nowhere did I say something isn't entertaining if you don't pay for it. I'm saying someone who just simply plays video games isn't worth spending your money on. I don't know why you're so kept on this topic, I made the post a while ago, if you want to ride the Dick of those who are taking your money by playing games that you could be playing yourself than go ahead. If the streamer is popular they get revenue off of adds, if donations is how they lived than streaming wouldn't be a career for some. The streamers are getting payed by you simply watching them, giving them more money is stupid. Obviously the ones giving streamers money have more money than sense.[/quote] Athletes should only get paid by tv and stadium revenue and we should attend/watch for free? Watching athletes play a game we can play ourselves is "riding their dick" as well then? I'm just applying your logic to other forms of entertainment. If it's ok to pay to watch someone do one thing, why isn't it ok to pay to watch someone do something else? Maybe you like basketball but not hockey. You're saying it's ok to pay to watch basketball but you can't understand why anyone would pay to watch hockey. Anyone that pays to watch hockey is "riding their dick" and "has more money than sense". Just because YOU don't enjoy it? You said you can see paying to watch a streamer if they're entertaining enough. Who sets the standard for what others find entertaining enough? Again, no one is telling you what to enjoy. Why are you telling other people what to enjoy or how to spend their money? Google how and how much they make. One of the top streamers was reported to make about $216,000 off subscriptions ($3/$2 split with twitch) for a year. It was about $18,000 a month. Most don't make a lot from ads. Many don't have sponsors. Many people run some type of ad blocker so the streamers make no money from them. Donations/subscriptions is actually how most make their money on streaming. Most revenue on something like YouTube is more from ads, but that's not what we're really talking about.
