Streamers and games journalism

[Quindiana Jones]

Yes.

I don't like PewDiePie. I think his content is rubbish. But he does a lot of work, so it's not like he's just sitting around rolling in money. This whole attitude is very similar to the "real job" attitude that a lot of people have, in which what qualifies as a real job is never specified but whatever it is THAT PERSON is doing is most certainly NOT. Artists, game journalists, streamers, musicians, basically smurfing anyone who has ever done anything for the main purpose of entertaining others. It's a nonsensical attitude that the world would be better off without.

Except athletes. Somehow we're ok with paying them untold millions, letting them basically ignore entire sections of the law, and yet they never get a "get a real job" comment.

But all other entertainers? Yeah.
