I just don't see the value in it when it comes down to paying for the entertainment. The value of what they do is next to nothing. That's why 98% of these streamers make absolutely no money. It's not hard to click a few buttons and start streaming to Twitch, or whatever. Playing a video game at a high level really isn't all that compelling either. Tons of people do that. How many people you know that can play basketball at a Lebron James level, or even at an average NBA player's level though? Not too many. For good reason. How many people can act on a Robert De Niro level? Not many. For good reason. The value for that entertainment is thus higher. value in watching some neckbeard playing a video game from Mom's basement? Eh, not so much value. Like I said, I can be entertained by watching water drip down the side of a cup, but there' no REAL value in it. Not monetary wise anyways. And as I mentioned before where do you draw lines at before you start to feel stupid for donating money to meager forms of "entertainment? Heck, go start paying your friends because they entertain you then. Go start paying your Mom for talking to you on the phone. Just start giving everyone your money for drawing your attention for 20 minutes. It's silly.
