  • Football is a professional sport. Videogames can be. However a streamer is the equivalent of someone playing a game of backyard football and letting people watch.

  • Some people like the Streamer, or the content, rather than the skill level itself. As in business, the consumer decides what survives, and gives dollups of dollars to what it likes. Call it survival of the fittest, call it explotation of people, whatever you want. The reason there are only 10ish top streamers is because it's not too easy to do. Most sreamer see it as a labour of love, and as long as the people pay them, they get to do what they want. It's not gonna change quickly, and very few people can make it their full-time job. It's an overrated issue, I believe.
