So we should just stop buying our favorite band's Albums just because we can listen to them for free somewhere else? I myself would never donate to these people, but a lot of the 'steady' income for these streamers is from their fan base. Why would their fans donate their hard earned money? Because they enjoy the content and want to see it continue into the future (like buying an album helps make the band want to/able to do another album.) And as for homeless people being more respectable.....[i] most[/i] homeless are homeless because they refuse to get a job, spend their money on everything they don't need, and blame everything but themselves. They don't try to get a job, they don't try to save what money they do for only the bare necessities, and they generally want to do 'easy' work when they've run out of cash. At least the Streamers put time and effort into their video making, granted they might be enjoying it more than a normal job.... but isn't that what we all want? In the end.... it basically is a job because society has made it into what it is today.
