I was watching a music stream on twitch last night and I felt a gripping feeling in my chest, that feeling where you feel guilty for doing something, because something was off.

The people I was watching kept on getting money from this same person. If you don't know people can "donate" subscription ($5/mo) for the ability to use different emotes. Well I saw something that was very uncomforting, The person in question had given the channel 1500 subscriptions (so this person basically donated $7500 to this channel. While listening I also heard that the channel had over $1000 subs. What made me feel uncomfortable was that the average amount of people watching at any given time was under 75, and the channel itself only had around 1500 followers.

While I was listening, the streamer started bragging about how she was a film director or some bullshit, and that she was close to a record label. It looked like she had a lot of money, at least more than I had.

It just felt very wrong watching this person, and I started thinking more about the people I was watching. All of them are basically exploring their viewers for money. Their content is geared towards the people who are willing to pay. The longer I watched the stream the more I would see that the streamer was basically playing the songs that only the person donating the money wanted to hear.

Then I realized that all of these music channels basically play the same 30 songs.

And then I'm like "what the fuck is going on, is this some kind of scheme of some kind?"
And then I just stopped. I felt so dirty being apart of it.
