If you stream for money shame on you. Gaming should be a hobby not a job. You people begging for money make me sick. I don't know what's worse the people streaming for money or the idiots who donate to them?
While you're sitting on your ass fighting aliens you have little kids fighting cancer. Shame on you...

Streaming is a service to the community they provide entertainment just like any celebrity or person on tv or in a movie so don't dis them you wouldnt call Justin beiber a beg- oh wait.... [spoiler]he is a fat arrogant slob of a begger yes [/spoiler]

Its better than having a regular job. You get to play games and get paid. Yall just some bitter, jealous -blam!-s.

I feel you.

Agree with op. Streamers actually call streaming there job. Real world problems.

Edited by Irishd3vil69: 8/6/2015 11:16:27 PMMost if not all that I subscribe to don't beg for money. People donate on their own free will. This is their job and source of income. They are doing something they enjoy and love instead of slaving away at some crappy job they hate. I respect all of the streamers I subscribe to and wouldn't think twice to donate to them. Some have helped me out on certain games and are knowledgeable in aspects of the game that I'm not very smart at.

Yes... Yes they are

Isn't it more pathetic on the people paying these people? Seriously.. If some idiot wanted to pay me money to play video games that's on them. I find it all to be ridiculous but I don't get bent out of shape over it like you OP. Chill bro.
-
Streamers asking for donations are like bums on the corner with the cardboard signs. I pay attention to neither group.
-
Gamer funded welfare.
-
If I had a 40hr/wk job, I'd stream. But I work between 60-70 hours a week so I can't. I don't hold it against anybody who streams and gets donations.

Just because it isn't a "traditional" form of entertainment, doesn't mean that it's not a job. How do you view musicians? Or singers? A singer says words in a way that people find it enjoyable, musicians play music that people enjoy. On the other hand, not everyone enjoys music! Btw, this isn't just for musicians and singers, this can apply to almost any job. My point is, there is too wide of an interest range in society to say that streaming is pointless. There's always going to be people who need money. Streaming is literally never going to stop. There is always somebody interested. Just saying though, I completely agree with what you said about people who beg for money. That isn't right for them to do. But I think there could've been more specification in what you said, because not every streamer does that.

How DARE they entertain a community who finds their content quality enough to support! This is but an OUTRAGE that should be banned alongside Kickstarter's crowdfunding, extra-life's charity work, and all of those youtuber's like Pewds who have only brought gaming up as a medium in the Entertainment industry and have added to the success and development of gaming as a whole! Now, did that sound wrong in any way? I think so, good on these guys. Even if I myself don't watch Destiny content creators outside of certain Youtuber's I don't support outside of subs and likes.

*GASP* People doing something they ENJOY and getting paid for? blasphemy! People should not be aloud to work in the area that they actially enjoy! People should hate what they do and not enjoy working, those horrible people who actually do something they enjoy!
-
You're mad your skills are sub par and other people are making a living doing something they love. Get off your -blam!-ing high horse. Salty ass biatch!

Please tell me how them being employed will cure cancer?

Ppl pay for entertainment so ppl can charge for it too

Many things, it usually starts out as a hobby, and people start to like you, then you get to start making money. Two, many people donate to charity who are streamers. Three, people who stream aren't usually doing it for money, it's just an added bonus.
