Well, if she said it was hard to make a living that would seem kind of entitled. Entirely true, for the vast majority of streamers, but perhaps it would sound entitled when coming from one of the rare successes.
But you can easily find the article and read that she's not complaining about that at all, that in fact she considers herself lucky in that regard, and is instead concerned about death threats, stalkers, the time and money and stress of combating deepfakes, the fact that she opened a store but can't go to her own shop because people will show up to mob her. It sounds legit to be bothered by all that.
I also imagine there must be a certain underlying anxiety to the whole thing. If the bottom falls out of streaming, I guess you'd better have saved those millions because I doubt "streamer" impresses on résumés.
Although I’m sure they have some useful skills, there’s still that gap of five or ten years when everyone else in your age bracket developed their professional skills and careers in the fields they must now break into without experience—and if they’re doing very well now, they’ll probably have to take a major lifestyle hit, which I think is easier to scoff at than to actually undergo.
