quequeque··on In Boston’s brutal rental market, the final insult: bidding wars
typical brokers fees in nyc are usually somewhere between 1 month's rent and 15% of annual rent (1.8 months rent)

>you don't get that nominal value unless you hit concurrent viewer count, and everything is calibrated such that it's basically impossible to get the advertised bag of money

This may be a bit of an overstatement on your part, especially the "They can make one tenth that if they're lucky" part. Bounties cap out at 10,000 viewers and are prorated as a % of average viewers, for a streamer with 4,000 average views hitting 10,000 is perfectly reasonable. As for "shilling for some crappy mobile game", the majority of games with bounties are fairly large ones, Fortnite and Genshin Impact were the two provided from the leaked bounty board and are by no means "crappy mobile games". The majority of games on bounty boards are from large game studios (2019 leak - League of Legends, Core, Sekiro:Shadows Die Twice; 2020 leak - Rocket Arena, Core)

I wouldn't say I'm offering any "grand theories", I'm only providing information on a live-streaming platform with 76% market share in America(this is what I mean by dominant)

Twitch has become a much lower risk more rewarding place for many creators who want to make "low effort" content in respect to edited/curated videos. Earlier this week a content creator with ~4,000-5,000 average concurrent viewers (~300th biggest by follow count) leaked his "bounty board" of advertisements he could show to his viewers, this included a $1195 "bounty" to watch a 1 minute trailer and a $7365 "bounty" to play the video game Genshin Impact for 1 hour. I find it a little wild an advertiser for a movie is willing to pay $1195/minute for 10,000 impressions (in a generous case). This is opposed to other models like youtube, where creators can make videos that wildly vary in viewership and advertisement payments. Subscriptions on twitch add another vector for streamers to make more consistent income, even when not streaming. This is likely a reason Twitch is the dominant streaming platform in America

quequeque··on Snap lays off 20% of employees
I do not see the same behavior among this age group/younger, I see many people give out their snap in lieu of giving out their phone number to strangers, I've seen snap become more of a non-committal peer-to-peer temporary messaging app with people met in a casual setting (ie dating apps)

quequeque··on Number of 'lonely, single' men is on the rise, says psychologist
single rates have increased regardless of gender, but at a faster pace for men; In 1990, a woman was more likely to be single than a man, now a man is more likely to be single than a woman https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2021/10/05/rising-...
quequeque··on Teach your kids poker, not chess
I would say there is no equivalent of the patriots as there are far fewer teams in the NFL, a more suitable comparison would be comparing the tournament-style WSOP to PGA(golf) majors, where in the past 3 years (11 majors) there have been 10 unique champions. Almost all sports games have some element of chance where the better team does not always win, the NCAA basketball tournament is another good example of this, No one is going to win every single game every single time.

quequeque··on Ask HN: How Do You Learn?
In previous iterations of this thread I think various people recommended the "Learning How to Learn" course on Coursera. I think the consensus for learning tech related concepts in the aforementioned thread was that many people learn well by building things. I like to read books for most forms of learning, although for things like complicated algorithms I prefer to watch videos. I also like to use spaced repetition for more specific uses like vocabulary - anki/supermemo seem to highly recommended here for automating spaced repetition.

Regardless of your opinion, I don't think it is in the best interests of this forum to voice your disagreement with the Swiss voters by using a word like myopic.

quequeque··on Guys to Avoid on Wall Street
Does anyone find it odd that on the numerous places this article has been posted on the internet, it says it is written by Ash Bennington, but the author references "asking Ash Bennington to look back on his years on Wall Street", then lists Ash Bennington's accolades, along with an unsourced quote from one John Carney? I am not trying to be snarky as the guidelines entail, but there are a lot of things here that seem unusual, the author seems to think a lot of himself
