The parasocial relationships, maintaining a discord, posting clips, making shorts, tweeting, editing, catering to an audiences wants, playing shite you weren't really into. Just got tiresome.

This is what people conveniently forget or never understand in the first place. It just looks like you play games online and make a ton of money, but for every hour of content you record, you have to put in three more hours on all the extra work from editing to networking with other content creators to collaborate to creating advertising material and posting that material, etc. The most successful creators have that hired out and pay others to do it.

Making $50 grand a year on Twitch isn't difficult, but it takes an assload of work, and most people don't evern know where to begin. You've also got to have the right personality. frick that shite.
