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.
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.
$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.
