How are streamers taking advantage? 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. Lol theyre shut ins with very few, if any real life friends. Boo fucking hoo. Sucks for them. The last bit had me howling mate. There is no deceiving at all or any shadiness. Its literally -girl plays video games, donating money is an option yet there is zero pressure to do so. - girl playing video games might offer incentives like shout outs, but very doubtful theres any incentive along the lines of $x and Ill have sex with you, Im single, catch is you pay for your own travel. - shut in decides that a shout out is worth a monetary value to some degree and pays for it. Receives a shout out and is disappointed he didnt get laid, she has a husband/boyfriend and they probably wont ever meet her. Theres no shadiness or scam. The people who pay walk right into this themselves. It humors me that people in this thread think that girl streamers having a significant other is deceptive..... hilarious as its not crazy to think those same people are the same people donating then getting all pissy when they realize they paid money and there was no actual offer of sex, meeting them, them being single, or whatever. It was merely a donation, as in, you donate money with no promise of receiving anything for it. Then they are mad they did not receive anything. Just LOL. --- If you don't have anything nice to say, say it on the internet. **poster Extraordinaire <cite>EdgeMaster posted [p:913527435] in What exact...
