> Onlyfans creators creating pseudo-relationships. Twitch, as well. I've stopped watching streamer after streamer when it became clear they were only responding to people throwing money at them constantly. I've watched people spend $50-100 a night with a streamer. It's insane. Well over $10k a year. The same people probably write a $100 check to the local food pantry.

Yeah it’s hard for me to watch. I feel sorry for the people so attention deprived that they need to throw dozens of dollars at a streamer who makes 10000 a night for any sort of acknowledgment

That’s more or less most of the bigger Twitch streamers, because they can’t exactly keep up with the pace at which the chat scrolls by and also pay attention to whatever they’re doing. That is why I don’t really watch those but prefer smaller streamers that might enjoy a particular type of game, or even watch the occasional programming stream. If I have a question, suddenly it’s not impossible to get an answer and most of them are also a bit more chill. I might still occasionally throw some money their way, much like one would consider tipping a live performer, nothing too crazy though.

  It's actually more-or-less the big Youtube streamers too. Because no one can keep up with the chat scroll, so ya know, they don't read everything.

> I've watched people spend $50-100 a night with a streamer. It's insane. Well over $10k a year. $50-$100 in a night is not so special? You could spend that going clubbing. Doesn't mean they spend that every night. Tbf if I'm spending that much I'd rather pay for in-person sexual services because that costs about the same and is obviously much nicer. Or do you mean they spend that much every single night? That sounds obsessive even without considering the money spent.

I occasionally donate some money to Signal. But I do not want to feel like some part of "community". I want to help them fund the service. Not join a movement.
