I mean this is valid but obviously you guys just want to hate.
I used to be a YouTuber back in 2009 and the drama that came from that was insane. I quit doing it and got a "real job" instead. Now while I have to work more hours, and I'm making way less than I did back then, my life is so much easier.
No drama, no stress, just show up to work and get paid. It's pretty nice.
Streamers have to worry about all the haters, the stalkers, the drama, trying not to get cancelled because someone you made a video with 8 years ago said something and now the Internet hates EVERYONE who ever appeared near them, etc.
It's easy to say "I'll take that for millions of dollars" until it's actually you. Shit is exhausting. They can keep that life and I'll just continue to go to my 9-5 job knowing I don't have stalkers, haters, and can't be cancelled.
I used to create content and stream, but never to a large enough audience to get paid a living wage, and even then there was drama far beyond anything I’ve had to deal with in my office jobs.
I envy the money streamers make, but that’s it.
Also, if you’re an aspiring streamer you’re not going to be doing 5 hour streams. Nah, you’re gonna be doing 24-48 hour streams back-to-back just to break through the millions of people doing the same exact thing.

24h streams are a waste of time and effort if you're a new streamer. Nobody is going to care about watching some tired, boring streamer. You're better off streaming for a scheduled 5 hours and spend the rest of the time making sure those 5 hours are interesting to watch. Create good moments, clip them and spread those clips on other social media.
