I was just thinking about this the other day. For example, I used to follow F1nn5ter. I liked his whole schtick. The “Stop Making Me Dress Like A Girl Dammit!” was fun in the beginning. A few times I contemplated sending a funny paid message, but never did.
He has obviously gone through some major changes since then. And I’m happy he’s figuring his shit out. Even has an amazing girlfriend.
But I don’t understand people who still send him 100 dollar dono’s anymore. I mean His Only Fans is estimated to be pulling in 250K a month. He owns two houses and just recently purchased a Maybach (probably used, but still)
He has come right out and said he only streams on twitch because he want’s to, not because he needs to.
So I’m just curious if any of you follow or donate any big streamer?
There are a few things that influence me not to.
Have you never been in a situation where you buy something expensive only to need emergency money and not have any? Have you never been in a situation where you have a notable interaction with a stranger but someone you know says “what about me”? Have you never seen bad economic outmaneuvering and look at the victims and just not want to be in the crowd of people who make it their modus operandi?
I’m a non-native in a land with strict economic/banking rules regarding communal establishment.
I’m not strictly what many would call a socialist, but many of the implications of, conceivably, money, just come off as peculiar to me, and I consider myself detached in a way.
