He’s a streamer. He makes a living from playing that game. What’s your job? Let’s compare total value add.

Just checked his channel and a few hundred views on each video. Can one really make a living off that?

Probably not but it’s still a shit view from OP. I know lots of startup founders than burn a year with a failed idea who only get praise.
