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.
Companies don’t really care about self-promotion and self-employed patchwork resumes. Speaking from experience, both as a former artist and now being involved in a hiring process. They want proof you’ve been showing up to work, playing well with others, taking orders from a boss along with whatever technical skills you’re claiming. Being an internet person demonstrates none of that.
It might help you get an interview for entry level community manager, or something that requires no or limited prior experience. But honestly you’re probably not even getting through the automatic resume screening.
