Reflections and Thoughts of Brian

My last post got me thinking 🤔 about streamers and transactional relationships with viewers.
Since COVID, I rediscovered Twitch and Kick came along too. I’ve been keeping streams open in the background while working and I can’t help but notice both chatters and streamers entering into these types of relationships based on money. It’s all rather fake and shallow, like paying a stripper for a lap dance.
I’m all for supporting your favorite streamer in a reasonable way, but understand it’s transactional. I know a guy who gave his whole COVID stimulus payment to a streamer and then watched that streamer ignore him months later when the money ran out.
It's rather sad when you really think about it on both ends.
