    The fuck he does. He’s a literal multimillionaire who grifts for a living from the comfort of his own home. You think someone like him goes on Twitter or Reddit and reads what people say about him? He barely interacts with the public outside of his streams, he has one of the most stress free jobs in the world. Emotional load my ass, the only pressure he has is to keep up his persona and to grow his audience which is a very privileged position to be in.

      Genuinely what is wrong with you that you think getting constant death threats and harassment is “stress free”?

        He’s a professional provocateur. He knows what he’s doing, and he voluntarily chooses to keep doing it anyway. You’re making it sound like he doesn’t have always have the option to retreat to a private life at any time if he chooses to.

          So why does it being voluntary mean the job can’t be soul sucking. I could quit my job and live off benefits for the rest of my life if I wanted to, so can I not complain about my job?

            In his case, he could quit his job and work a normal, more low profile job or he could just straight up retire entirely since he has the money do so. He’s not in a position where he’s forced to do anything. He’s not some victim in poor victim who’s worthy of unconditional empathy. He’s not living paycheck to paycheck, he doesn’t do steaming because he has to, he doesn’t have to pay attention to what people say online, and he doesn’t have to keep streaming. He’s consciously choosing to do it, this is something that he clearly enjoys.

              You still haven’t actually answered the question. You just keep repeating that he doesn’t have to do it if he doesn’t want to. But he does want to and he does do it, he’ll he probably enjoys it on the whole, but why does that mean the job can’t be draining and stressful?

      Tell me you don’t watch him without telling me you don’t watch him.

        I have a hard time believing that this guy is living some hellish, extremely stressful life because he voluntarily chose to make a career out of being a professional provocateur from the comfort of his own home.

          You try receiving thousands of death threats and hate messages every single day and try not to let it get to you. It’s not that cut and dry.
