I guess all these entertainers are beggars

Basically, yes, but I do think it's a stretch to call streamers 'entertainers'.

Equating streamers to real entertainers is like saying a home video of a six year old kid strumming clumsily on a guitar is basically the same as watching Radiohead perform live.

I didn't say it was easy. I said it was like panhandling. Some beggars on the street work very hard to be entertaining and earn their money, but it's still not a real job. The big difference is, I generally have more respect for people begging in the street. Twitch streamers who expect to get money are entitled babies. I wish that they would shut down the monetization completely.


Very true.

+1 to everything you said! Couldn't agree more. So many people are not getting Arthr2ShdsJcksn's point.
