Prominent game streamer sets up a go fund me.....

I think that has to do with people perceiving honesty. Someone saying they just want weed and alcohol gets ups for being "honest". There is an automatic skepticism for the "SOB" story beggars.

One, there are places to go if you really need help. If you're starving and you need food and shelter, there are options. If you just want money, you panhandle. People are sick of hearing of pro bums who rake in money by begging. I remember when I was in college in Denver, reading stories of bums making more money in a day than I did working. There are people who get caught driving a Cadillac to their panhandling grounds. Those sorts of stories will sour people to handing out money for that sort of thing.

Yeah, true. At least if you're asking for drug money it does come off a bit more honest. Still though, the guy had a kid laying on his lap and they were in rags. Not one person donated until the end but 15 people give him money to help kill himself?

i'm more offended by the poeple that donate.

I'm offended at the people who are offended by the people who donate.

If people want to waste their money giving it to streamers then it is their choice. I am not sure it is right for us to sit here and judge them for it.

They earned it, they can spend it however they wish.

True.

99% of people won't care. But all it takes is that 1% to donate. With so many people out there, even a fraction of 1% of users can add up to big bucks. All free money. Zero stipulations. He can take the money and buy $6,000 of booze if he wants and nobody can do anything unless one of these donation proposal guys wants to legally state in the offer he has to abide by this..... which probably 99.999% of them don't do.

We're all just mad because we didn't do this and get easy money.

Actually, I've been looking at some YouTubers and amazed at their view counts for what they do. Some of them are literally just reactors. They watch a movie trailer or something and people watch them react and some of them have been able to quit their jobs. Others just post "Let's Play" game videos.


I'm both amazed and kind of baffled and yes a little jealous to be honest.

I'm going to set one up. I want to become a streamer and quit my job. I'm just going to stream this gif for 24 hours a day.

You are all ready better than 60% of the streamers.

But...I would suggest going with something a little sexier, like this
