Because they lost the true value of money.

Fuck off sage

They are retarded, watch them vote for controlled opposition yang and tulsi too

>>28991304
>play video games for them
Because that is considered "work" on the sabbath so they need to hire a goy to do it for them

>>28991304
Why do game Devs send shit to streamers and lets players? it's almost 100% loss, yeah you gain exposure but no one pays the rent with exposure.

>>28991304
take it to /pol/

>>28991304
Id guess most zoomies just like having something to watch in the background, or they think a particular streeeemer is funny or whatever. It's like tv for zoomers because nobody watches real TV anymore.
For some absolute shut-ins, It's psychologically almost a substitute for talking to real people. Look up parasocial relationships, kinda weird.
And then, there are of course the simps who have never seen a booba in real life and unironically think they have a chance at buying their way into a friendship with BoobyGamerGurl69. If the size of channels like Pokimane's tells you anything, these people are a frighteningly large demographic.

>t. zoomer who is subscribed to 2 twitch channels

>>28991909
cause people buy games that they see streamers play

>>28992002
i hope one of them is xqc

>>28991909
Are you retarded? It's free advertising

>>28992148
Nah ones a runescape streamer and ones an irl friend. Xqc is mildly cringe

>Why do people watch streamers?
>why do people watch youtube?
>why do people watch movies?
>why do people watch TV?

stupid question, classic boomer hypocrisy.

>>28991304
It's the twitch chat. They try to outcompete one another with how many months they've subbed and how much they've donated. Also, a lot of streamers will make you feel like you're not part of the community unless you contribute.
Zoomies love having their name read out as well.

>>28991304
because it's genuinely better entertainment to watch funny man play the funny games than 99% of cable TV

>>28992078
>>28992200
do you? if a game is linear and I watch someone else play it why would a single person buy it?
unless it's a multiplayer game or an open ended game that as endings the streamer didn't select.
That's why indie studios don't make it, no one buys their shit because they don't need to.

>>28991304
Don't know about paying but as for watching:
It's cheaper than owning a good PC and buying games and the chat/interactions make it seem you're part of a social group (and a group centered around your interests).

>>28991994
this isn't political.
it's a stream of revenue I've been missing out on, by paying to play video games, when hundreds of zoomers are willing to pay to watch me play them.

maybe from very rich family and get a big allowance

who knows

>>28992290
>>28992245
I actually watch some gameplay clips for keks, so it's not completely lost on me. But paying streamers is another story.

>>28992247
why don't they buy something like BNB, LINK or ETH and make it instead?

It kind of annoys me that people that fail at everything else get away with streaming.

>>28991304
I would pay money to arrange a meeting with tulsi gabbard just so I can see those mommy milkers IRL.

>>28993056
There is smart and dumb money for a reason.

>>28991304
They're too lazy to actually play them

>>28993222
yeah, I guess. I know we troll and shill a lot and whatever shit here, but in the end, if you hold like 10-50k of any top 50 crypto you probably gonna make it quite big

>>28991304
Because we actually have disposable income, unlike millennial faggots

>>28991304
microplastic on the blood since young, mercury from the sea fish. high level of radiation from wifi and 4g, hormone on the meat, toxic chemicals on the plants. it all comes together

>>28991304
Because they enjoy supporting the arts

I'm in the same boat.

What a fucking s0yb0y lmao

>>28991304
why do boomers pay athletes to play sports for them?

>>28991304
I’ve never sent any streamer money but I’d rather do this than pay for a ticket or jersey to support chimpball athletes like boomers do . It’s virtually the same thing

It's good background noise and nice way to experience something you will either never bother actually playing. Or maybe see how someone reacts to game you like. Most streamers are absolute trash though

>>28991304
I believe your brain is too small to understand this. Otherwise you wouldn't ask this stupid question.

Twitch streamer with >250k followers, those zoomers give me money that I immediately gamble on shitcoins. I think it's mostly boredom and being part of something. If I don't talk about subs or say I don't need them the numbers drop super hard, zoomers feel like they're buying into part of a community, even though most streamers have genuine disdain for thier audience. Most the people who watch me regularly that I've met at cons seemed pretty normal, they said it was just something mindless to have on the second screen, the fact they don't *have* to pay and can still get the same content never really occurred to them. I actually feel pretty bad and try to discourage the fake "community" shit and pushing for sub goals, but I'm legit autistic, the normies don't care. If you actually want to "support" a streamer (don't do this, anyone streaming who can't live off the ad revenue alone is just irresponsible as fuck and leeching) just donate though PayPal, twitch takes 50% for small guys and 30% for big guys.

>>28994215
Why not get people to donate shitcoins directly to you and cut out the middleman?

>>28991304
brain damage. I don't even understand why people watch TV or movies or streamers or anything for that matter. you're literally watching someone else live their life while your own slips away right in front of you.

>>28994335
Never talk about crypto or investing on stream. Would need to setup new wallets for donations and cba. But mostly tax, I pay tax on all the stream related stuff to be completely above board in case of audit. I plan on avoiding as much crypto tax as possible, getting donations in crypto and declaring them seems not worth for the potential hassle it might cause
