You got to understand what that shyt does to a person's psyche. Let's keep it real. The average streamer barely makes shyt on Twitch and if they do it's a reallllll smalllll margin. Okay now lets look at the most popular streamers that actually did the shyt themselves which took years to build such a clientele. So this streamer finds a niche with playing games like COD, WOW, or whatever that's popular which builds up the fanbase. Outside looking in, the streamer is living that good life. The inside looking out he or she is miserable as fukk:- 10 hour schedule almost every day
- 2 hours of that time to post social networking shyt and video edits
- 15 minute breaks when there's time to do such things
- You miss a day...you are severely fukked because gamers have the attention span of a ADHD porn star
- Trolls left and right could ruin your vibes, ruin your chat, and ruin your life (DDOS, SWATTING, etc)
- Taxes
- Playing video games that you don't really want to play but it's the dictation of the fanbase
- If you play another game, that's 300 fans and thousands of viewers gone because gamers are a interesting bunch

This is why you have gaming as a branch rather than your complete focus
This whole concept of professional gamer= living the life is no different from folks claiming movie or music star= millionaire, when it does deeper than money.

Some of the black youtube gamers I see have reaction videos and other content to take the pressure off
Obviously that's not the same for everyone but everyone's fanbase is different.
Haven't seen this as a problem for black youtubers like Corey Kenshin who went on a very long hiatus
It's about your approach, the energy you give off, and your fanbase
You want the fans to want to watch you play not COMPLETELY dictate what you do
That's a recipe for disaster
Virtual Jesus.
Thats sad..
What the hell is he stressed about?!?!
- I get it people gone people regardless of the situation
- Imagine being the remaining sibling loosing both brothers to "commit dat"
If parents knew video game players would be raking in millions of dollars per year...
frfr.
The Austin, Texas-based gamer’s brother Gary Bernstein announced his passing via Twitter. “My baby brother Byron @reckful is gone,” he wrote. “RIP. He left in a similar way as my older brother Guy. I’ve no siblings left.”
that tweet actually made me feel sad. that'd be terrible to have that happen.
their parents probably are like

Precisely. Treat the game like a game. You play for a bit, beat the shyt, and focus on something else. With these dire events going on, why would anybody want to be a full time streamer is beyond me, when you can part time that shyt and get a good amount of change, or get in and get out which most streamers don't want to do.
Some of y'all are honestly just garbage people.

The Ideal Income For Maximum Happiness
You're in the wrong forum if you expecting people to show any kind of empathy.
Very few people receive it here. I would say suicide is at the bottom of the totem pole.

that number is backed by nothing he pulled it out of his ass. Funny he references actual studies but gives zero tangible evidence for his rebuttal. Then he spends half the article ranting about the government "penalizing" you
another internet "guru"It's also a load of shyt that "the average college grad can get a job paying 65-75k out of college" Unless you're coming from a top school or going into accounting or finance or such you're not making that straight out of school. Hell the average HOUSEJOLD income isn't even 65k but the average college grad is making that at 22 in the field they went to college for?
No
I remember watching some streamer play some games and he wasn't talking or anything. He said he just wanted to chill that day and finish this game. Suddenly the chat started killing him telling him this shyt is boring and to talk to them etc. Basically make it entertaining. Dude was like fukk this shyt and turned the stream off

It really just highlights who you already are, and makes more people pay attention
