> Yeah, its weird. I live in a startup economy, and its draining our state. Then theres the snow job of a rising tide lifts all boats, meanwhile people live in their cars.
Yeah. The high Tech. Silicon valley. Did you watch the TV series? I only saw some of it.
I used to watch Critical Role. On YouTube. I liked the first season / game. The second turned extremely weird as the whole thing blew up. Blew up and out of proportion. As they struck it extremely big.
I watch CohhCarnage a lot because I like his play-style and he seems to be an intelligent and decent guy, mostly. He annoys me little. And that's pretty impressive given how many hours he streams in good or ill health.
I watch some of the other people he streams with sometimes, as well, and follow some of the politics around streaming. Around how people start streaming how they make it 'big' on the streaming platform. Become partners. Get multi-million dollar offers to take it to Mixer...
Esports...
Houses with however many kids kept in them. Streaming. Coding. Whatever whatever whatever. The next big idea. The next successful start-up.
I don't like it.
It's like...
Fresh meat.
Burning through.
Dispensible. Disposable.
High risk - high reward.
I think at some point Cohh said he doesn't know that he would make it up if he had to start over. Things have changed.
I see the line becoming thinner and thinner and... Eventually non-existent.
Gifting subscriptions. How that can be how can that be financially lucrative.
Things are turning strange.
He does well to keep on keeping on. But as things gain in popularity it's fighting against the tide...
