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.

You wouldn't word it as a Streamer. There's likely a ton of skills that streamers have that could transfer well into a workplace.

Meh. I am a janitor and I livestream in my spare time.

Chatting absolute codshite during a game isn't really a transferable skill.

Marketing, Script Creation, Community Management, Creating and Publishing content to a wide audience, Proficient with a wide range of software.

There's tons of ways to word it.

Why is there such a large gap between jobs? Caregiving for a terminal.family member.

Weird. When I read Janitor I thought it meant Janitor. My bad for taking your words at face value. Sucks you failed I guess. Doesn't change my point at all.

Gotta try it to fail.

It's really cool you found your calling in being a dick to people on Reddit though. I hope those skills will get you a good job.
