You know that the streamer is right. Just because other occupational hazards are worse does not mean theirs are invalid. And loads of streamers are barely scraping by.

[-] corvi@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah, obviously there are worse jobs and steamers who love what they do, but I can’t think of a better way to ruin any enjoyment I had for gaming.

Mad respect for the ones who are on for 10 hours every day of the week for years straight, and somehow still manage to be healthy and have a family. I couldn’t do it.

[-] corvi@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Just for clarity, I couldn’t stack those bricks very well either.

Honestly it goes deeper than that. I'm part of a very small streamer community and the two biggest points of exhaustion are actually just community management and the platforms themselves.

You can be having an absolute blast playing games, bullshitting with chat, whatever else, and then ONE person can come in and ruin the entire vibe. The two big ones are people "um, ackshually"ing a joke you make or someone deciding to trauma dump into a 10+ person conversation to fish for compliments. The amount of times one of the streamers is vibing, making jokes, chat is blowing up and someone comes in like" I hate myself I want to die please compliment me and make me feel better while you're live :'(" is insane. Just zero self awareness and you can't just ignore someone writing what sounds like the first half of a suicide note so suddenly you flip from entertainer to therapist. For larger streamers this comes in the form of random groups of people deciding they don't just hate you but actively want to sabotage you through stream sniping, harassment, doxxing, etc..

The platforms are just as bad. Having to constantly fear that any accident in a game gets you banned is just such a suffocating experience. This is worse in games with open mics where it's your responsibility to police, mute, whatever else the random outbursts of hate speech and slurs. Heaven forbid you're playing a game that suddenly surprises you with nudity or something else and you're left wondering if you're gonna get flagged by TOS because it arbitrarily wasn't artistic enough. Lord have mercy on your soul if you stream something from Nintendo - - who seemingly just rolls a die once a month to decide which random community built around their games they want to Thanos snap out of existence.

Has an isn't right when referring to himself tho.

Has an is a multi millionaire. Anyone who thinks his profession is worse than a traditional working class job (including him) is fucking delusional.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

He is speaking on mental load. Assuming a person in the spotlight of the public has a similar set of challenges compared to a regular worker is dismissive.

Doesn't mean they are worse of. Just means that some things can be hard.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Not only is the concept of a million dollar streamer having a worse mental load than your average working class schmo completely asinine, but that isn't what the quote is saying in the context provided.

In the context provided (assuming its an accurate quote and context), Has an is asserting he has a worse mental load than your average working class Joe who works a traditional job for meager wages.

That is absolute bullshit. Its not delegitamizing or downplaying a millionaire streamer's mental load to call that bullshit either. Its just fact.

[-] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

LoL the poor streamers barely scraping by from all the sitting at home doing nothing but yapping all day

[-] rf_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The problem with the statement(which I have no idea if it’s true or someone just made this for rage bait) is that it’s making a ranked comparison saying streaming sucks more than regular jobs, so it antagonizes the working class as it jumps into a misery competition.

It’s divisive, when instead we should be uniting under the reality that standards of living are shit due to wealth inequality. The statement in the image instead just divides us more.

People are struggling, and hearing someone say “I have it worse than you” is not helping. We have to be demanding our governments and political parties for solutions that address wealth inequality which is causing lower living standards and causing the general discontent.

[-] timestatic@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

But also there are so many people trying to become streamers. You don't automatically have the right to make it just because you try streaming. Only a small hand of people provide entertainment for most. I get the struggle but maybe if you're not successful or don't make a living wage while attempting full-time you should just go back to a normal job. Just saying.

[-] esc@piefed.social -1 points 1 week ago

They can stop working in entertainment, it's not like streamers are bound to a chair with a rope.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

That's not what this is about. This is about there being a psychological strain.

[-] esc@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I can assure you that there is a lot more psychological and physical strain in monotonous physical work. A month in a factory made me appreciate my desk job in IT like nothing else in the world. Obviously burn out exists and destroys your motivation and ability to do things.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org -1 points 1 week ago

It's different. You shouldn't compare suffering.

[-] esc@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

If someone has their leg broken with bone sticking out and another person who fell and now has a broken skin on their hands I should assume they feel more or less the same and shouldn't compare?

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

That's not an apt comparison as we are comparing fundamentally different suffering/challenges.

[-] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago

Also, Hasan is not "barely scraping by". He's a multi millionaire who could end the "soul sucking" by turning off his money font, but he doesn't want to. It's a slog for small streamers absolutely, but let's not pretend like Hasan has any right to call his own job "soul-sucking" when he could retire in comfort, nay, luxury for the rest of his life at any time he chooses.
