This is one the stupidest posts I have ever seen...ANYWHERE...EVER [quote]While you're sitting on your ass fighting aliens you have little kids fighting cancer. Shame on you...[/quote] How does this relate to someone playing video games in any way? How does a Streamer have any effect at all on someone fighting Cancer?(the top streamers are do charity donations and streams for causes aswell) They still have to claim it as an income and any tips donated, so they pay taxes on it like anyone else(cause you know someone gonna say its free money right) Now the ones who "take donations" to run you through content is BS, I will agree but once again the "good" ones dont Please grow up and join the real world

  • My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

  • Oh look, someone who can't defend his point, namely because he's wrong. Try to be right at least.

  • Defend what? That his quote was stupid or that your copy/ paste is Sorry...nothing these streamers do hurt anyone and if people want to throw money at them...who cares..it does not to effect anyone The ones who ask for donations to "help" them are wrong sure...but again, if you're stupid enough to pay them...how does that effect kids who are fighting cancer Sorry...morons get muted

  • It's the fact they receive donations and small amounts from twitch (and other providers) for bringing in views Does it not disgust you that these losers without jobs and no referrals, friends, or enticing facts on their applications(which never get sent anyways) wake up in the morning, game for 20 hours, then sleep again, and get payed for it? it's downright disgusting, Even worse they're so awful at the game and have such despressing personalities calling people vulgar names and trash talking. Though the people that do donate are even more disgusting, I'll give you that, and the relation to cancer was far fetched and unnecessary as well. Though i think the point he was trying to get across is these guys don't deserve the money, the people that are fighting cancer(and other ailments) DO.

  • Dont bother me at all...for some its how they pay their bills and keep food on the table...for others its a way to help pay for school, it is their job..part time or full time People have done alot worse and got paid for it...and if people want to spend the money on them...oh well...that is their money to spend The example I will use is Broman as he is a somewhat known Destiny streamer by now... I have seen him help hundreds of Guardians do raids...for some its their first time, he never asks anyone to sub to his Chan or others when he promotes them...he asks you to follow and enjoy the stream, has he got an over the top style...sure at times, has he been an ass...Yup I have seen it myself, is he one of the top Destiny players skill wise...far from but he helps out the Destiny community more then others and trys to provide a positive Chan for the most part(Cant please everyone all the time and some just bandwagon hate because...why not) I have seen some that only help subs or people who donate and after that I have never watched again...their choice but I exercise my choice to not watch I dont see any difference in what they do compared to any other entertainer really...Jim Carry is not the greatest actor ever...but over the years we made him a millionaire because we liked enough of what he did...I have a friend who hates every movie he has done...ever Back to the cancer thing...I like so many have lost someone to cancer and I dont look at the top sports stars or movie stars and think..."If only they gave more to cancer research" or "I could have spent that $50 on cancer research instead of seeing [insert movie or sport event]" If anything...I blame the Government for those...if smoking is such a high leader in the cause of cancer...why has it not been banned(and yes..I am a smoker...17 years now and try to quit every Monday morn...lol)...why tho?...cause they make more money taxing it then they do on research spending Im an easy person...too each their own...spend how you like...its not my place to knock someone elses way of life Hell if people would pay to watch me play games I would...not having to leave my kids 3 weeks outa 4 would be awesome Thats how I see it anyway Good Luck Guardians and may RNG light your way
