Is it hard to stop needing a job? Yeah actually, famous people still have bills.

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.

huh? I wasn't directing that comment at you at all, what made you think it was directed at you?
