I must be getting old as fuck. This just does not make any sense to me. I was watching a twitch game stream of a girl playing a videogame. On the chat thing, you see people's donations and other shit
The stream was live, and she was talking while playing the game. someone donated $500, she just looks at it, then looks back at the game. Then another dude gave her $300. The money just kept coming. $20, $10, $15... the numbers just kept adding up. Every now and then, she'd say thanks to the person donating the money. That $500 wasn't even the highest donation. I'm sure some people donated well over a thousand. She played this fucking game for 6 hours, while the money kept coming in.
I do not get it. Actually pisses me off a lot. There are these desperate guys giving money to a girl playing a videogame for attention.
I sometimes wonder what kind of people donates that sort of money. $500 is quite a lot to be throwing at some E-Thot who scarcely acknowledges your contribution to their bank account. Obviously we know these people are degenerate scum, but what else are they?
Like, do they have a well-paying job? A trade? Do they live in their parents basement? Are their parents wealthy and give them a huge allowance? Do they live on neetbux? Are they burning their life savings?
Jews are feeding birth age women their useless US dollars so they won't have children. This is all by design. It's never some random person, it's just Jews. It's always Jews.
Josiah Kelly
What's happening is that these people are basically minor celebrities to their audiences. It's not just women, people shell out money for male streamers as well. It's like being in a chat room with someone you consider a celebrity and they actually respond to your comments sometimes, and give you attention back, which is basically non-existent in the Hollywood version of what a celebrity is which is why it has exploded over the last decade. Thus, they get tons of donations/subscribers to support them, girls obviously have a bonus of giving back female attention to weak loser men so they probably make more money on average. I'm not defending it, I'm just fleshing out the idea of what's happening a bit more. It's a more personal and interactive celebrity experience.
Oliver Ortiz
>not pirating everything What has gotten in to people these days? Must be the influx of normalfags on the internet. There was a time when no one payed for shit but I guess ftp, usenet, and torrents are too much for some people.
>some guys gave money to a girl on the internet and I hate it so much that I want to die You have no idea how pathetic your post is.
Robert Reed
it's a pretend gf. they don't have real ones, so these girls become their virtual ones. they talk to her, see her everyday. these girls fill a void in these lonely dudes' lives while slurping up that donation dough it's some weird way to not feel bad about being single and lonely
Aiden Foster
What's happening is clearly money laundering. Billions of dollars of it, through ig, twitch, onlyfans, patreon, and go-fund-me.
Jonathan Bailey
>give you attention back, which is basically non-existent in the Hollywood version of what a celebrity is which is why it has exploded over the last decade. this
Oliver Reyes
Don't worry, she'll splurge most of it on useless junk.
Jeremiah Moore
Why would you pirate something that's already there for free?
They are simply tipping a person playing a video game.
I understand you folks are stingy but Jesus why be this miserable over people spending their higher incomes? It's clear they are not bottom feeders if they can afford to tip this amount of money.
Brandon Rogers
How can we take a bite of this cake? What would you guys engineer to get some of this sweet sweet gibs?
Lincoln Carter
It's really not. I have retard friends that give their favorite streamers money sometimes. It's fucking stupid, but it's not as shady as you think. There's a lot of fucking retards out there.
Noah Turner
It's a cope user. Not a smart one, but an emotional one
Isaac Jenkins
This.
Asher Howard
Imagine being in there shoes.
>You're playing video games >some random guy donates 1,000 dollars >the first thing that goes through my head isnt gratitude >its some motherfucking creep from r9k is gonna to stalk me, keep me in a well, and make me into his transexual skin suit.
Its creepy desu
Aaron Reed
It's fairy easy, you need a few leadership skills but to begin cashing in all you have to do is set up your twitch with Paypal, and you'd be getting paid in USD despite living in Brazil.
All you gotta do is:
-be charismatic -be empathic -be wholesome -play game -engage the audience -build community
Levi Jackson
I've heard about this stuff for the last couple years but never actually sat down and watched one of these e roasties. I can tell right away that it's really bad just because I'm like a 6/10 or 7/10 guy and my gf is way better than this chick. She looks old and has no milkers to speak of. Now I know what a scourge this phenomenon really is. I'm guessing this must be a direct outgrowth from onions boys being a thing, the ones that didn't become homosexuals.
fpbp memeflag even, fuck it OP just neck yourself.
Ryan Hernandez
>They are simply tipping a person playing a video game. In what world should people be tipping other people because they stream themselves playing a stupid video game. There was a time when people actually played video games now it appears people instead watch other people play and pay them. How fucking lazy and jewish can you get? Its just as bad as the fucks who instead of getting their friends together to play baseball or something they watch it on tv and pay for the privilege. Fuck that
Bentley Jackson
Unless there's evidence to prove it, that's just conjecture. There is evidence of thirsty numales thinking they can emulate a real relationship through a twitch stream by glorifying a bunch of dumb roasties.
Charles Anderson
Money laundering
Same with art and Rap
John Hernandez
they dont realize its less effort to stop being gross than it is to make money to throw at girlfriend holograms
kind of like a nigger who doesnt realize all the crime he does is more work than just working a normal job
basically lonely mental niggers
Gabriel Fisher
Men want more than just sex from women. You don't get female validation or the "girlfriend experience" from fapping to porn. Then there are the pay piggies who get off on giving women money while not getting anything in return (the term for this escapes me, at the moment).
Brayden Richardson
No country for normal men
Jack Anderson
When you're seeing hundred+ dollar donations, that IS laundering. And the reason why is simple. Men who are that lonely and incapable of getting a gf are also too mentally-broken to have job that pays good enough to spend hundreds of $$$ for nothing more than attention. Even drugs would be cheaper. $300 can buy a week or more of very good drugs.
Charles Flores

Cameron Myers
Thank you. That's it.
Bentley Davis
Fucking a prostitute/escort is awkward as fuck.
Gavin Baker
Ive often thought its actually Amazon.
They are just paying content creators because it keeps the thing going. People wouldnt do it for free
Jaxon Stewart
because zoomers are the most gullible generation ever seen?
Blake Thomas
they could pay girl 100$ to pretend to be their gf for a day
Jonathan Smith
>for some reason Parasocial relationships.
A pretend friend is better than no friends at all. Imagine that the illusion of being someone special in that streaming girl's life is the highlight of your day.
This never occurred to me. Either way thots gunna get patrolled its an inevitability.
Kayden Powell
>Even drugs would be cheaper. $300 can buy a week or more of very good drugs. heroin is better than any women hands down so yes it is a much better investment
Henry Perez
What I don't get is why playing video games? For $500 you could pay a hot chick to teach you a language or any skill, hell pay a foreign prostitute to teach you her language. You could get your interaction and actually gain something from it. Its blows my mind they throw money at these chicks for absolutely nothing, and I honestly can't visualise what a guy who does this looks like.
Ryan Lee
See Best reply. It's cope for being alone and forever a virgin. Same as digital friends playing vidya while you watch.
Benjamin Stewart
You really don't get it. I know retards that spend 2 grand a year on shit like this. A lot of middle class losers who have an okay salary job sometimes throw dumb money at this stupid shit. I know it seems so insane that there clearly must be some reasonable explanation like money laundering, but it really isn't (at least on any significant scale). There are just a lot of losers that are easily parted from their money. They replace most of their social interaction with this dumb shit.
Colton Miller
im subbed to her on youtube for some reason
Colton Young
Shut the fuck up incel have sex
Hunter Myers
Probably subversion senpai.
>Be trillionaire. >Fund a few idiots to make millions streeming >get millions or kids to try and become e celebs rather than something worthwile >destroy entire US for a 20 million investment
Way cheaper than arms desu
Easton Williams
Honestly would be a pretty good approach to it wonder if anyone is and or is currently being investigated for it
OP you are at a fork in the road. You are intrigued at why this type of behavior occurs but you are still getting butthurt in the process. I hate to use a dirty word but anthropology is something you like perhaps without knowing it. Maybe it’s why you’re here as well but I’m mostly speaking out my ass and for myself. Anyway, scratch the itch of knowing without letting the fagginess destroy your curiosity. This whole streamer paypig thing is fascinating and fucking weird shit objectively.
Michael Evans
>that feel when a large portion of millennials wasted their Trumpbux on e-thots
Cameron Campbell
unironically oil princes
Kevin Ramirez
The donators are mostly STEMfags btw.
Nathan Johnson
Well, that actually explains a lot of things.
Michael Clark
Lol is your pic the girl who was streaming?? She looks like an old shoe
Henry James
If that pisses you off then how do you feel about Gacha games? Especially the ones made by Nintendo aimed at kids?
Logan Long
This is why the simp meme was created.
Noah Phillips
I doubt said hot chick would do it while wearing revealing clothing and telling you that you're a good man for paying her. Also, a woman having the same interests as you, real or pretend, is part of the appeal for many.
Nicholas Nguyen
>A pretend friend is better than no friends at all Absolutely not. Wanna know how to tell? Try being one of these people, then finding yourself without internet for an entire month. Let's see how that works out. Want to see something depressing? youtube.com/watch?v=ybyFqwbPSgU& People turned "the relationship you will never have" into a business, like a sitcom. Read the comments. I'm a boomer and I didn't know shit was so bad until few months ago.
Daniel Gonzalez
findom.
Logan Stewart
If you find a streamer entertaining, you might be willing to throw down a fiver for future content. Its like paying for cable TV but you cut out the (((middlemen))) and give your money directly to the content creator.
Caleb Torres
And anime of course
Jackson Cooper
Want to know what's intolerable? Grown men watching broads play video games. Stop being a faggot and you will stop encountering faggots.
Not even exaggerating we have to massacre simps. They are extremely destructive to society.
Jayden Bailey
Ban western media first. TLOU2 is about pro-choice lesbians killing republicans.
Jaxson Phillips
I could understand a small, couple of dollar tips if the person is actually entertaining, like makes witty commentary. But celebrity adoration always kicks in with some people.
Alexander Murphy
I can't even understand why people watch others playing. Go play the game yourself.
Leo Murphy
the guys who pay these whores are the most pathetic humans on the planet
Eli Allen
"simp" isn't a meme, its a word that existed for a long time in urban culture, its an acronym. It means Sucker Idolizing Mediocre Pussy.
Connor Rivera
anthropology was awesome before it got kiked to shit. Then again it was also heavily race based before the boaz took control and his good goy mead royally fucked things up. Still plenty of value in good ethnography. Go live with the savages, so to speak, take notes and you will learn a great deal. Often times more than all the number crunching that is so popular now.
Jaxon Jackson
Maybe it's a money laundering operation.
Carson Anderson

Camden Harris
its fucking lazy, that's what it is what happened to going to the strip club? also this was a problem prior to corona
Isaac Morgan
YT tried to push the cunt in my feed a couple of weeks ago too. For quite a while too.
She doesn't stand out on twitch at all among the other e-thots there, so I still wonder wtf was going on there. Wouldn't put it past YT to push some content deliberately, but who knows...
Gavin Rodriguez
Simp is the smartest word replacement ever, it's the perfect "incel" counter and it works better than "cuck". Whoever brought it back deserves a medal, I've never seen italians using "cuck" before, I've seen people using "simp" in actual italian comments.
Christian Rodriguez
Its the democratization of hollywood. That is how I look at is. Now everyone is their own little star in their own little television show broadcast to the world. Its disgusting because so few now actually live their life bur rather preform their life for the camera as a product to be consumed.
Connor Ramirez
I can easily see $5-50, MAYBE an occasional hundo from a good friend, etc. But $200+? that shit raises all kinds of organized crime red flags. Also, I myself watch some streams(not live and not on twitch directly) of Mike Matei because his fits of rage and his damn fine retro gaming prowess are great for background noise while working here.
I allowed myself to be hustled for $60 to fuck a pretty decent hooker last night. Normally charges 160 but I said I only had 60 and she took it lol. So if you're smart it would get u like 7 hookers
Evan Morales
>Men want more than just sex from women. Then they are not men but pathetic weaklings. Real men should come along and slap them into oblivion for being so fucking weak. A woman is a wet, warm hole for you to fuck and then boss around. IF you feel the need to talk to people you talk to other men as their opinions are the only ones worth a damn.
This whole 'girlfriend experience' need is pathetic.
Cameron Gomez
>(the term for this escapes me, at the moment) loser?
Robert White
my cousin is a livesream gamer girl and has paid off a nice apartment in downtown vancouver by livestreaming. The apartment costs well over a million

Yep
Justin Parker
This is the primary issue.
Jacob Gray
Its not tho? They just take their clothes off and lay down. Maybe its awkward if you're a fat British fuck worth bad teeth and the whore has stank ass euro breath since u niggers dont brush ur teeth for some reason
Aiden Nguyen
Any recommendations of high quality old anthropology books
Michael Cook
What worse is that these are the same fucks that scream about not having enough money to pay rent or college loans.
Anthony Edwards
these aren't real these are money laundering schemes that's why she doesn't care
she's likely one of the more liked whores in some human trafficking scheme where she feels privileged to be allowed to play video games instead of ram shit in her ass while people launder money through their donations
it's actually quite known that most of these streams are just money laundering done in the open at this point it's almost impossible to stop
who wouldn't care about getting $500? someone who has to pass that off to whoeever she's working for now anyways
Cuck is good but specific. I'm glad simp has come back so that cuck doesn't get diluted
Joseph Gray
Well, I heard that another ethot said the actual names of her highest donators, turns out they're all silicon valley Pajeet, Chang and Eugene uber nerds making big bucks. Since their lives don't involve anything else besides looking at a screen and having lots of expendable income, they give their money to ethots for some attention.
Logan Martin
It's a combination of a few things. The people who give money to stuff like this don't use much traditional media like television subscriptions or sport events/subscriptions so in their mind the money they save on stuff like that is fine to donate to their favorite streamers. Now, when you combine that with people who really get into the idea that these streamers are celebrities and it's awesome to them getting attention from their favorite celebrities, you start getting people who start shoving in hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
The people that keep saying money laundering or stuff like 'just watch porn instead, it's cheaper' are missing the point. There are a lot of people that just sit around and do nothing but watch streams. It has become their entertainment. And now this entertainment talks back to them so they use it as a social interaction replacement as well. Bigger streamers start getting these 'whales' that donate thousands of dollars because of this. It's a real culture that exists now and trying to dismiss it by saying things like 'it has to be money laundering' are missing the bigger and more depressing picture.
Jason Watson
>Maybe it's a money laundering operation. >Maybe it's a money laundering operation. >Maybe it's a money laundering operation. >Maybe it's a money laundering operation. >Maybe it's a money laundering operation. THIS H I S
Pay attention everyone. This is no different than the (((Broad))) museum or that banana taped to a wall. Someone (looking at you, unrequited love incels) needs to deep dive into these thots finances and see (((what the fuck))) is going on.
>paying to watch people play video games >even once Theres free background noise u stupid fuck. Were going into a great depression era and u dumb ass mother fuckers think money is for something other than food ammo guns and Bill's right now. How fuxkin stupid can u be?
Camden Hughes
>that shit raises all kinds of organized crime red flags. Good point. Kinda makes me wonder now if it's money laundering for the sex she gives. A way to pay for a prostitute before the act.
