| Topic | What exactly is wrong with Twitch streamers 'preying' on lonely men? |

The people who spend copious hours watching game streams are not the types who have their social lives well put together. They're shut ins and socially awkward people with very few, if any real life friends. So they tune into streamers to fill in that void of a companionship. So streamers soliciting money from their viewers teeters a gray line of being crowd sponsored on one side and straight up taking advantage of them. It's one thing where you have a donation button saying "Help me improve my work, I would like donations for better equipment, etc." but some streamers would offer the incentive of giving them attention, whether saying a spectator's name in a shout out or answering their question, for a donation, basically monetizing social interaction with streamers. That right there is literal taking advantage of them. And that girl in that pic knew fully well she was deceiving them by hiding her marital status. She is in no way a victim. --- imgtc.com/i/4HgTl0ebzq.jpg imgtc.com/i/60CWP2Gtlg.gif ... Copied to Clipboard! |
