Why is that a problem? Nobody cares for the millions of people that try to be professional athletes, musicians, artists or dancers that are barely making ends meet and ultimately move on to something else.

This is just like any other endeavor. Many try, most fail, some succeed wildly. We don't need to feel bad for the people that try and fail. That is part of life and progressing as a person.

For some people it's a career. For people with ~250 viewers a few times a week...they probably need another job.

What's the alternative? Alot of these people are great entertainers and terrible <anything else>. If they weren't streaming they'd be working shifts at McDonalds. If anything they're doing the most advantageous thing they could be doing.

> But what if you're not one of the top streamers, and you just get 250 viewers a few times a week?

If you have 250 viewers a few times a week, you're not quitting your day job for it. If you are, you should probably reconsider.
