Mobile "games" aren't real games and "Free" to play is the worst, most anti-consumer pay model that exists. This story being phrased as "50k on video games" is also just pure clickbait. He spent 50k getting the attention of a female streamer is what happened.

If you spend $192/stream on a streamer who streams 5 days a week for a year, that is $50k. They might find this hard to believe but the parasocial relationships with streamers and communities is crazy and gives a similar escape that booze or an affair might.

@bbeidleman Месяц назад

Yeah I think the hosts and many of the commenters don't really understand the format. I've watched streams where people will send $500 and the streamer will acknowledge them by name and then read whatever message the person paying sent. That can easily add up. Even on tiktok, if you go to very popular tiktok lives, people will be constantly sending gifts, some of which can be worth up to around $500. It is very believable that someone who frequently engages in this activity could unwittingly spend thousands upon thousands of dollars.

@brookiegremlin6660 Месяц назад

I agree. Idk why they have a hard time believing this. 1k/week is easy to blow through, really. I used to work at bars and clubs and a lot of the men who would come in there were similarly addicted and destroying their finances.

I was one of those people, sadly, so I one hundred percent understand what this gentleman is going through. I am so thankful that I was able to pay it all off and not have it ruin my credit, but it becomes an addiction, and it is tough to stop.

@21b4ll3r21 Месяц назад

as someone who watches streams his story is believable viewers are part of a community and when you donate a lot of subs the members of your community give you a very hyped up praise i’m guessing there’s a void/depression that he’s filling by getting the adrenaline of praise from people in his community.. he’s looked up to by his peers and he probably feels revered

@corysanhueza7300 Месяц назад

I see this and wonder how they afford it. I watch a twitch streamer where a watcher drops 50 Tier 1 subs multiple times each stream. I googled it and that’s about $500 a pop. I agree with another poster. I think they get a high off the drop and the acknowledgment.

@elreiec1 Месяц назад

“Comparison is the thief of joy” does not apply when I listen/watch these videos. Shelling out $500+ to a Twitch streamer is insane. Hope this guy gets it figured out.

I can definitely see this being an addiction for a lot of people. Being acknowledged in front of thousands of people can definitely turn into an addiction for some people even if it means donating money for it.

@samcintyre0785 Месяц назад

When you donate alot of money the streamer stops, shouts out your name, and read your comments aloud. So it makes the donater feel like they are a cohost in some respects. If they donate alot the streamer sees them when they enter the chatroom and greets them for stopping by. Kind of like if your a big spender in a night club.

I think you and they are flat-out wrong. I wandering over to Twitch after this for an hour or two and saw some people gifting 100 subs to the first random streamers I looked at. The subs were $5.99. So they were dropping $600 on some guy playing a FPS. All he'd need to do is do that 90 times in a YEAR and he'd reach the 50k.

I see all the comments saying "it's not video games, it's Only Fans!" And while that's definitely possible, video game addiction (or at least dependency) is very real. And really, it doesn't matter whether it's video games or OF. Either way, it's a compulsive behavior and the consequences and potential treatments are very similar.
