I just don't understand how these girls look in the mirror. Okay, the money is certainly good for them, but putting up with these fucking retarded cretins and satisfying their insatiable and sickly appetites... There is one girl who even put a paper bag on her head... which had an advertisement on it... I mean feminists should shoot themselves in the head seeing these girls literally don't give a fuck and totally degrading themselves for money. Seriously fucked up world.

If you took your shirt off on twitch, and a bunch of girls started donating money to you, would you feel degraded? No, of course not.

Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first "job" a lot of these folks had. So, the idea of having something you worked hard for just quickly taken away from you, will always suck.

But if you have more work experience, you will know to try and get unemployment, and look for a new job ASAP. These folks surely feel lost, and it's all unexpected. Sounds like an awful feeling. I personally don't get how some streamers do it full time, I feel like it's way too risky. Especially if you don't have work experience outside of streaming.

So, YouTube IS an option, right? I get being concerned about losing viewers from other countries, but if you jump to YouTube, surely majority of the fans that care will jump on over.

Feminist praise only fans hos, thots, cam whores and sluts as empowering. It's so ass backwards, basically it's OK if they turn themselves into objects as long as they are self employed. These same ideologues rail against beauty and t&a in games as influencing objectification but don't think the literal hos and porn(also hos) are to blame. Total hypocrites.

Working hard in this space is a crock of shit.

I’ve seen smaller creators who pour countless hours in high quality entertaining streams, videos, and more never break in.

And the ones that do make it ? Random AF. You got content thieves like xqc who just “watch” others content , you have fake girls who stir up drama like pokimane, people who do illegal activity and start riots like Kai, actual porn creators like Amouranth, and more and more.

These people are all disconnected from reality and sniff their own farts thinking they are gods gift to man. Most lost being humble long ago.

They are all a product of luck. Right shtick during a cultural boom to want to watch creators.

It’s all a joke, but more power to them to take in cash from fools.

I wonder if the Korean government can be taken to the WTO, since this is quite clearly a move made against foreign companies to give Korean companies an advantage.

The more you read up on Korean business elites and their control of the Korean politicians the less respect you have for Korea as a country, it's deeply corrupt.
