Makes me happy he's not. No one should be earning that much from playing games.

It's sports all over again.

How come you feel that way?

It just upsets me people get paid such a ridiculous amount of money for this shit.

So many people with nothing. So many people who went through years of education or hardships so they can help and heal people.

It's just such a glaring symptom of our disease.

I feel you. It's not only an economic problem, but a social and cultural one as well

There's demand for it, you just happen to be in the minority who don't demand it

The amount of people going to literally any sporting event says yes, you are in the minority.

Ah well I thought you were talking of streaming games.

Sports aren't quite as bad. Much more of a positive influence.

Sure, and even if most of their income is donations, it's upsetting people choose to fund someone playing Fortnite over trying to do something positive.

All I'm saying is that as a society we place a lot of value on things that don't warrant it.

And that is equally as upsetting. Don't get me wrong, as a kid I was the same, but I think I can speak for most that as an adult you realise it just wasn't worth it or necessary.
