Asmon saying 13:40 "No one wants to go to the hairdresser and hear them complain how annoying cutting hair is" really hits the nail on the head why viewers are pissed, lol.
Actually, not really. That would be weird, but what would be really upsetting is him saying his job is harder than your job (which may be true in some cases) because people don't like having their efforts in their jobs be downplayed.
Why is he even saying this? Asmon never goes to a hairdresser, he has no clue about how the world is outside his messy house. 😅 And I’ve never met a hairdresser who complained about their job. They mostly only small talk.
i think thats valid tho, imagine going to have your hair cut and the barber is all around your head and in you ear talking about how much their job sucks .like its fine that they dont like their job but their customers shouldnt have to listen to their problems. its unprofessional
@@ARocketsPocketthat's exactly the reason he's saying this?!? I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic... the reason they small talk and don't talk about their problems is because people DON'T want to hear about it, just like Asmon says.
For those that don't know, when Hassan says "His sales job" what he really means is his job of buying Facebook ads for the Young Turks when he was employed by his uncle after he finished college. Privilege from top to bottom.
Even his sales job was through nepotism 💀💀 look I understand there are struggles which streamers face but I hate how Hasan is trying to larp like he comes from humble backgrounds just like your average person when he was born into wealth and always had the money and connections most people do not have
@@chanr9531Dude nepotism isn't the problem. And I know that for a fact because I know no one gives a shit that I got my job at walmart through nepotism. My mom knew the store's general manager boom job at Walmart no interview. Nothing. Wow i'm sure everyone's so mad that I got nepotism walmart job
You’re literally missing the point lmao. Hasan in particular was talking about how it affects his mental that he has like dedicated haters that spend time trying to get others to hate him, the Nazi stalkers, the drama baiters, the preaching political theory for 10 hours a day. Of course anyone would want the job, but it’s also not a wrong analysis by them
No they all said people would rather stream. Doesn’t make their point invalid. Hasan in particular was talking about how it affects his life and mental when he has insane cyber stalkers, drama farmers, general dedicated haters, and preaching 10 hours a day is draining to him. Not that he isn’t going to do it. He literally said he’s profoundly lucky like right before that drama clip lmao
@@greenburg2276Hasan is a drama farmer, he creates fake drama and profits off of it, its his entire business model. Hasan preaches hate to anyone who disagrees with his juvinile political propaganda, he spreads way more hate then any of his viewers.
But she agreed with the finer points… They are literally in the same page, but people are just happy with the one that doesn’t point out the minor complications, as they all said; they’re extremely happy, privileged, and lucky to be where they are. They all agree they wouldn’t trade it for anything (except for non existent free money fun gigs) As Amon says, “shut up, and dance monkey.”
100% true. Tectone and Asmon are on their high horse, saying nobody would pick a job playing video games all day getting paid millions of dollars. Yeah freaking right. These guys are just delusional and narcissistic. Theyve had such an easy life so long they don't get the real world anymore. They are totally out of touch with reality. I'm glad Emi at least chimed in and said the truth, unfortunately the bozos with her just won't listen. Money absolutely corrupted them so much at this point that they couldn't see the truth even if they tried. I'm glad people like Emi can still stay grounded and down to earth. But people like Asmon and Tectone have such hugely inflated egos they will never again understand the life of real world people.
Here’s the thing about complaining about your job. You can always complain to your equals. You can sometimes complain upward. But NEVER complain to people below when it comes to income/job difficulty. Every job has problems and everyone has struggles to complain about. But people that have it objectively worse than you (which is going to be 99% of your fan base) are NOT going to want to hear any ounce of complaining from you. Vast majority of them would DIE to be able to sit around playing video games all day and make millions of dollars.
Asmon stating how late he started online gaming in 2005 cause he's 33 and there supposedly weren't that many online games around at that time hits kinda different when i remember that i started online gaming a decade before that in 1995 and even went to a LAN Party halfway through the country as a teenager to meet up with my online buddys a few years later.
It's weird to think back how quickly online multiplayer came around, fall of 2001 Halo came out and we would all bring our tv/xbox to someone's basement for an entire weekend in highschool. Then Halo 2 in 2004 and we were all playing on Xbox Live. LAN parties were dead, (mostly) for us.
@@toastonryeYT never played halo before the masterchief collection (or owned a xbox). Not exactly sure about when we stopped LAN-Paries, but it has to be after 2006/7 as we played Battlefield2142 on the later ones which released end of 06. Sure Online gaming was getting bigger and connectivity issues less (ever played a fast paced shooter with people who use 56k analogue modems with a playerbase having both europe and us players in the same match?) But we liked the meetups (somehow my social anexty didn't kick in on those events making them one of the few social gatherings i could attend without feeling uncomfortable) and since we had access to the IT-Class room of a local school on weekends/during holidays for our later LANs we usually didn't have to bring Screens and Cables.
@@Retalin_ nice. wouldn't have worked at my catholic former girls only school run by nuns. We had some school project for making some virtual school walkaround though where i started to rebuilt a part of the school in half-life (with the counterstrike mod) but it was declined for obvious reasons my younger self didn't think of when i showed an early prototype to a teacher. In the end they ended up with a sinple picture slideshow.
@@TheAzureGhost catholic nuns, yikes. I lucked out, our teacher was an old Vietnam vet and was very libertarian and basically checked out so as long as we didn't make noise and could do a presentation on the required material, it was all good. That class was also where I first was exposed to South Park for the first time, good times
8:05 That ain't it. Actually, that is not the whole thing. If you say "this job makes me tired" nobody will antagonize you just because of that. It's when you start comparing it to other jobs that other people may get upset if you get it wrong. For example, Dokibird talked about her situation in Nijisanji and most people sympathized with her. Why? Because she's not saying being a Nijisanji liver is worse than any of her viewers' jobs, and she has never even mentioned or made any comparison. If anything, the people who perform some of those jobs know how much Dokibird appreciates them for it.
No I dont think so, just stating anything bad about streaming will get you people who hate on you. If you say streaming for 10 hours every day is tiring, people will still say 'try a real job for 10 hrs ' 'imagine getting tired watching videos for 10 hrs' 'ok millionaire, we are tired for 10 hours too in hard labor' No matter what you say, you will always get shit if you talk about streamning in a negative light because people dehumanize streamers and envy them. Dokibird is a completely different situation because she was actively getting harassed to the point where she almost deleted herself and was basically owned by Niji. Thats like comparing a fast food worker that is working for extra cash in high school vs a fast food worker that is working paycheck to paycheck and stuck in that fast food worker line. You can compare jobs, but situation is completely different.
@@PostWin "just stating anything bad about streaming will get you people who hate on you" I mean... do there exist people who will act like that? Yes. To THIS degree? Not in any way. Read the criticism. People are generally complaining because a comparison is being made by a person with a lot of money, but anyone who makes such a comparison will get people upset. These days Nux uploaded a video in which, among other things, he talked about how growing as a content creator may expose you to hate and spoke of his own experience with that. 33 people disliked that video. 33. 3400 likes, 33 dislikes. He said something bad about streaming, but nobody cares, because nobody had their own experiences with life downplayed by him.
@@TheLeviathan1293 yeah except I dont think its Asmon ever compared streaming to other jobs in a way to look down on the other jobs. You can compare jobs like streaming and service work for examples and find a lot of parallels but people don't want to hear it because streaming makes a lot of money which is irrational thinking. Base of it all is that people feel like streaming is so easy with a ton of money so you should be grateful and don't express negative opinions of it because everyone would want to be in your shoes. Except streaming and cc in general is extremely hard to do otherwise everyone would be a streamer. His main point was streaming is uniquely hard even from large streamers and small streamers have unique hardships. Besides all that, even if you don't directly compare and use other jobs as examples., people are inherently going to compare anyways. If Asmon said streaming is hard because so and so, the viewer will compare streaming and Asmon's hardships to themselves and their job. Thats why he said to never talk about it because it will always spawn a negative result unless something transparently bad happened like in the case of Doki.
Just so people aren't misinformed here. People are upset at Hassan, for saying that "Streaming is more socially draining than a regular job". The key here is MORE than a REAL job. That's where people get pissed off. Because he doesn't understand how socially draining a "REAL" job is. And also, the fact he can turn off his stream if he's "socially drained" and go chill out, whereas if you're a regular worker you have to suck it up and keep going. It has nothing to do with jealousy, or hating those that complain that have more than you do, it's about him telling the general public that they don't get as socially drained as he does.
I love how Asmon after literaly 3-4 seconds had to admit that he didnt know exactly what Hasan said and what he ment, but he still made a long video arguing against the quote "streaming is the hardest job in the world" and rallying his army of goblins against Hasan at the same time not realizing that Hasan never even said those words and the entire context was that streaming and other social and service jobs are draining in one way and physical labor is another thing. Never comparing the two different professions directly and spending an entire hour explaining exactly what he ment. Take a 5 second snippet out of context and making a video about it is just up Asmongolds ally these days. Cant even think of any streamer that is more reactionary and out of context right now, atleast compared to how he used to be a couple of years ago. Fits his narrative and his chat perfectly though! Edit: Also important to note that the way Asmon and Hasan streams and what content they are providing is entirely night and day. Asmon plays some of his favorite games and throw in some reactionary content here and there meanwhile Hasan's stream is mostly live commentating on important political and societal subjects. Arguing about abortion, work ethics, insanely disturbing conservative comments vs playing games for a few hours. I wonder which one is more draining!
Because she is humble, she knows she would be nobody without them. Asmongold cant even wipe his ass properly. I cringe everytime this guy gives any advice because if he is so smart why does he live like animal ignoring his parents etc. This guy was addicted to games for most of his life and would probably live off state if he wasnt INCREDIBLY lucky.
@@jiripekny3905 That doesnt mean his advice is bad lmao. That just means youre having an ego, and thinking his advice isnt worth listening to due to him not living like a normal person lmao
I like how they mentioned "not every streamer makes it big" as if anyone is mad some 3k viewer Andy struggles with the job. I think the thing is, large streamers likely do well enough they could pivot to something else if they wanted to. A 23 yr old working 2 jobs can't. Not nearly as easily. This is pretty clearly a privilege some of them haven't really realized yet. Though I also don't think someone saying "hey this job is super draining sometimes" should've ever been a point of contention for the community either.
He in particular was saying how doing political theory for 10 hours a day is a lot, and brings a ton of like psycho dedicated cyber stalkers and haters
@@greenburg2276best part is the argument of "well... Then just dont stream so long" right. Beacuse if I stream for a few less hours that will stop any of my digital social outlets from being overrun by hatred and psychos for the crime of "I said something disagreeable on my stream"
@@greenburg2276 He didn't say that at all. He said doing streaming CAN be hard and he understands that viewpoint. He agreed with the socially draining comment in the conversation of just streaming, not comparing it to other jobs. He agrees streaming for him and the other 1% streamers who earn millions through it is a privilege. None of them think it's harder than almost any other job, he simply said it is a hard job as literally any other job is hard, again not harder than other jobs but hard in general. Ofc, for us who don't have to do it we can't say how hard it is actually, but it's clearly not harder than a construction job or a chef in a kitchen, or a barista who mostly earn way less.
It is stresful for him because he isn't very smart and fights with people in his chat all the time when they call him out on bad takes like this one. @@greenburg2276
"a real job doesn't suck the soul out of you in the same way that 9 hours of streaming absolutely will" - verbatim hasan quote asmon and now teccy are the ones not interpreting hasans words correctly but they try to gaslight others. hasan was comparing streaming to a real job and was saying its harder, there is no room for misinterpretation if you are being honest and using your brain. they should rewatch the clip a dozen times until it clicks
exactly. instead of admitting they are wrong for agreeing with Hasan, they are trying to gaslight their viewers and spin the topic. this is a sign they have no respect for the intelligence level of their viewers. they think we are dumb enough to fall for it. the best thing they can do now, honestly, is just fully admit they are wrong, and that they had a change in perspective on the issue. if they fully admit they were wrong this will help slowly build they respect back from their viewers. until then, i cannot give either of them any respect. until then, everyone should boycott them into oblivion as well. maybe if their own wallet is effected they might start to realize the truth of the matter and start giving more respect to the average real world person who watches their content.
im pretty sure i could also take quotes out of context because he also said he didnt mean there isnt jobs more soul destroying and that streaming drains your social battery (which it does) more than most jobs bar retail public facing sorta jobs(which is true).
@@TheInnerSession so? hasan says there are some jobs that are more draining but he still believes his job is more draining then most. thats bs and asmon unfortunately never really tried to figure out why its bs. i guess it comes down to if you are going to give hasan the benefit of the doubt, personally i never would considering how he treats people
Hasan corrected himself shortly after by saying he meant it in regards to social drain. I'm not at all surprised your thinking is limited to a short clip, though, this tik tok generation is actually mentally handicapped.
*Whining Millionaire Streamers* are the new *Whining Millionaire Hollywood Actors* We need *Ricky Gervais* to come in here and put them in their place...
Idk if it’s quite the same. I mean I understand your point and the privilege they have, but I’ve also seen twitch chat. If I had to deal with 10-30k degenerates every day I’d probably complain a bit too idk. Especially when you know some people are just trying to clip chimp.
@@nvrsn1115 Meh. They could quit at anytime. Instead they try to do the half measure boundary thing. Very subtly shaming parasocial behavior just enough to keep it mellow enough while they milk it.
@@somersault1123 exactly, they want all the pros of having a large, profitable fanbase without any of the naturally following cons that comes with a large profitable fanbase. Doesn’t help Asmon and Tectone farm drama like crazy so obviously they’ll attract a lot of toxic parasocial drama frogs and haters. If you stick to relatively more tame subjects, i guarantee you that while there will still be a small minority of people acting bad, it will be significantly smaller than their current situation, though of course this usually means a smaller amount of engagement so they’ll be making less money which they seem not willing to do.
I think the issue with the whole Hasan and streamer thing is that they complain about how draining it is to do the work but then intentionally force themselves into doing it for long hours when their job has the priviledge of a flexible schedule, they don't need to stream 9 to 5 (the 1% streamers).
You don't really know if they have or not have to, you are just making presumptions. You are cluless of their spending habits so at the end of the day they might very well have to to cover fir whatever lifestyle they have. Someone on minimal wage "doesn't have" to work their a** off either, they could live off welfare or be homless in a ditch but if you ask such person they will tell you they have to work as they do.
@@RaynaNox Yes we do, no one is forcing you to meet a quota or else they fire you. This style of work it is entirely optional, same as most independent contractor work. I worked as Personal Trainer for years and more or less chose my own schedule, if I didn't need the money I wouldn't overextend myself time wise and would choose a more comfortable schedule over a more profitable one. The main difference is the ones complaining make so much money that they could walk away for half the year and not even be phase with no risk of losing their assets or homes. Being intentionally dense does no one any favors.
@@theperfectbeing True, being intentionaly dense does no ones favours. You might want to lusten to your own advice on that. As said, you are only seeing their earnings, you aren't seeing their expenses and you are inserting yourself, your own experience, your own ideas of what is "enough" cash into it. They are rich in comparison to you, it is you who see them as rich, a person richer than them does not. They do not necessarily perceive themselves as such (unless they compare themselves with you, obviously) etc. Bottom point is that you are forcing your own limited perception on them and you are doing it because they are better off than you. But hey, what do I care if you are not capable to see the issue beyond the amount of $€£¥ someone has or diesn't have. It's your loss.
As a first gen American from a Mexican family (who is more light skinned) I can confirm this weird discrimination happens too. Some family members will talk to me in a much nicer manner than if they were talking to someone in the family with darker skin. Shit is weird, man.
This video captures the fact these people just live in different world and I dont want to sound mean there. My parents died during terrorist attack. I had to live on my own since the age of 16, I had to have job on construction site working 12 hours a day 5 days a week while trying to finish my school. I still remember I could not even move my arms and had to take painkillers just so I could work next day. I knew I was fucked because nowadays kids stay with parents to their late 20s so they can save up money to live somewhere etc. I finished my Masters 2 years ago and I was saving money where I could. Gained a lot of experience during the construction work so I built myself a small house, just 4 rooms it was just for me but it was mine and that all that mattered. But I could not find job in the field because its very saturated. So I gained a contract to build a house for my friend. I was happy because I could finaly get some money. I built the house, 2 months after it was finished I was sued.. the guy faked all documents and said I overpriced the house by 700%, his wife is lawyer. I was in a lot of stress and I got seizure from that stress. I was in hospital for 4 months I didnt even know what is my name, didnt know I was sued, there was nobody, no family who could help me. I lost the lawsuit (since I was in hospital ) and I had to sell my house, car and everything I owned to pay for it. I lost everything, I lost 12 years of my life savings and home I built. That family happily lives in that house to this day, for free. I completely paid for everything in that house. Every fucking thing I built there from the foundation to the last tile on the wall in their shower. Then you see someone on stream (the top 1% you talk about ) getting $3000 for farting on stream. I will not name who that streamer is, but when you see this shit happening while your life crumbles under your legs like this and you know you are fucked until you die, it makes you mad. I am personaly not mad about streamers, I am mad because I had nobody helping me while I was dealing with all this shit. I had months where I could only afford to eat once per 3 days, I had days where I had to deal with absolute retards like streamers do. I know there are tons of people who didnt have such traumatic event like me, there are people who were born, got family, saved money, went on vacations.. I am 32 and I never saw SEA in my life. So please be happy for the incredible luck you had to become popular streamer. I would do anything to make at least $100 while not having to deal with any of this shit. Now I work in IT, we are probably getting replaced by Indians since they dont need to be paid at all, or AI. This is what real life is, chaotic moments that make you unconfortable all the time. You never know what is going to happen. I thought I won life when I finished that house just to lose everything in such a small amount of time. Thats what you lack as a big streamer, you have problems in your life but for example what Asmon mentioned that his dads health might get bad etc. everybodys parents might get worse but you can see that he is not really worried. Because he can pay for that healthcare, you can see him ignoring his father sending him home while he visits him. Doesnt even get up to clean the house before his parrents visit him. Huge amount of money just makes your life so much easier and the truth is there is an monopoly on streaming, these people dont have to worry about their lives ever again. Even if you ignore everything I said so far the truth is most people live paycheck by paycheck esp young people. Cost of living is insane. Its not fair to compare my life to these people, its like comparing myself to celebrities like Taylor Swift. Maybe some of you will read this, so you know that people actualy suffer too. Sorry for my bad grammar I learned english from american cartoons and I live in Czech republic ( no its not in russia or India )
I agree with you, i work in the industrial factory for 10 years, its so physically exhausting im breaking down with health problems every few months. The audacity some people had to say how its hard to be a streamer or giving some life advices and so on, like these people have no clue what a down to earth honest, hard work is They literally just TALk all the time on camera and get paid for this, if I could do that i wont even THINK for a second to do so and be happy about it.
The problem was never about saying if streaming is hard or not. Its because you are set for life being the 0.1% of twitch, while the rest of us slave away just trying to survive. READ THE ROOM. Nobody cares if you think you got it rough. Keep it to yourself or tell it to your friends/family. Saying this shit to thousands of people while on the clock so to speak is incredibly tone deaf.
You have the privilege to reduce the amount of hours you stream, if it's too socially draining. That fact alone renders every point you make completely moot. And it was one of the 0.1% streamers that complained, so of course we will compare to that. Stop using the other 99.99% as a shield to try and prove your point. After so many hours and several hundred thousand people, and you're still completely stunlocked. Spending all that time talking to a chat on the screen does really put you of touch with the rest of the world, no doubt.
Completely caught up, what a ride. This pod running in the background while im grinding spreadsheets and afk farming GBF Relink has had me locked in week after week. Keep on keeping on and add some more specials! You just know Asmon would benefit from a full house cleaning and a maid service for upkeep. Make it happen.

100% agree with Tech and Emi on the streamer thing. There is a huge element of luck to it. It's not just pure hard work/grind or even smarts and grind. I wouldn't want to be a streamer but I'd rather do that than most jobs. Jobs suck. D4 story wasn't bad and the cutscenes were cool. Last Epoch story and cutscenes are terrible. They look like pre-Sora AI video. But Last Epoch is a lot better than d4 imo due to gameplay. Also, I really like the LE graphics and spells. Warlock and Falconer are fun AF
I mean asmongold parents payed for his warcraft subscription, didn't charge him rent and was unemployed as a young adult and idk that sounds like a privilege luck to me.
Yep. Viewers are (rightfully) pissed because they called out Hasan and Teccy and Asmon and others have been making all kinds of assumptions, and leaps of logic to hell hasan save face. They want to ve supportive of him, and since its not really an important drama they don’t fold but double down
I understand you guys are saying streaming is socially draining, but Hasan was COMPLAINING and COMPARING the difficulties of streaming to "normal jobs" not JUST his own 2 month trial like Asmond said he did (reducing the general public's response down to " streamers think streaming is the hardest job" and "jUsT Do yOuR JOb wE DoN't cARe" is disingenuous). The majority of "normal" jobs have WAY lower income than the streamers talking about the subject ( being YOUR group and people like Hasan, not the smaller streamers so don't put yourself in the same boat and use them as a meat shield). As Asmon said before, money makes problems go away easier. "Normal job" problems being more threatening than your streamer problems, makes you guys running defense for Hasan with a response like " he ONLY said streaming DOES produce social stress and everyone is acting like it doesn't" even MORE disingenuous ( you guys have a large amount of control over your social stress by CHOOSING whatever activities you do on stream, picking work hours, and having the privilege to remove toxic people from your job environment with bans and avoidance, most normal people do not have these things). So it rubs normal people the wrong way when Hasan complains about being socially drained from one of the easier jobs in existence while being 1% and comparing it to social drain from normal and less paid job. You guys refusing to acknowledge Hasan saying "streaming is more draining than any real job (except customer service and retail?)" while at the same time, twisting his words to mean the opposite and saying he doesn't mean he said is gross.
streaming is more socially draining than most jobs except customer service/retail. id agree with that , im not a streamer but entertaining thousands of ppl a day has got to be horrible. I dont understand the minority moaning about a streamer saying clear facts. I assume they are just angry someone with so much money and a good job (albeit socially draining) job is complaining about their job which is understandable. but fk me people taking it way to far lol
@@reviewani6253 if asmon said somewhere that if hasan meant it that way he is wrong fair enough. also asmon saying making a lot of money makes it easier for problems to go away was in one of his past videos and true. So complaining about some problem than can be easily reduced and mitigated with low repercussions compared to "normal job problems" and tectone stating that hasan said "streaming is JUST AS socially draining as other retail jobs," when hasan had originally said "streaming is MORE socially draining than normal jobs except retail" is what rubs and will rub people the wrong way. Not only did tech change what originally people were calling hasan out for, they are seemingly running EXTRA hard defense when it was clear that hasan saying that originally was stupid.
11:08 Techto legit said he just got done talking about It for 2 hours, how can they agree when Hissan 🐍 LITERALLY said “streaming is the most taxing job in the world” lmao It’s weird
Tectone, you can volunteer a few hours a week at your local, Humane Society. You can ask to be trained to help with the post-op. You help them waking up after surgery, a lot of spades and neuters. I did for a while, it was enjoyable. I am allergic to cats, but man did I love playing with the nice ones, until I couldn't breathe.
"I've decided that 95% of people who have autism just decide they have autism. They self-diagnose." Self-diagnosing is completely valid given that autism is a spectrum. Personally I feel autism is kind of like sensory overload and you learn to develop coping mechanisms. Autistic people perceive a lot more from others and from their surroundings. When I was a child, other people used to be very scary. I also perceived a lot of things from all sorts of objects or places, which had a certain energy and vibe to it that I can't describe. This is why it's difficult for autistic people to make eye contact because they immediately "take in" a lot of information the person's gaze is conveying, that most people don't perceive. It also makes it hard to understand initially what someone is telling me because I'm immediately struck by all the "noise" that their body language and eye contact is telling me.
They have to be trolling. There's alot to complain about when it comes to be a streamer for sure. I've worked in alot of different areas and the thing I've found is that the best situation is a job where you make enough to pay your bills while still having a social life, you guys have all the free time in the world compared to the average American.
The thing about free time when you're your own boss is that free time means you're not getting any money, period. Yeah though, when you're a millionaire you can just not work and be fine for a good while.
streaming for sure has its negative points. No doubt about it. You are a business and you do lose money if you don't stream, but it's not like owning a business that sells product or a service. As a streamer, you can easily take a week off and recoup any losses because your more than likely not paying overhead on storage space, industrial electricity, employee benefits on a mass scale, etc. Which brings me back to my main point, they have it good and it really sucks they don't see that.
idk man, i feel like they're taking hasan words more out of context, than people in the comments, completely ignoring what they're implying if he just said, how draining is for him streaming for 9 hours, noone would care, but he had to compare to other jobs, basically implying it's MORE soul sucking than those jobs, which is not true, because EVERY job, either physical, mental, social or whatever, can be just as or even more soul sucking than streaming, and obviously when you consider tons of perks coming with streaming, that give you a lot of flexibility to lead your life however the hell you want, this statement gets even more ridiculous other thing is, when you like your job and are passionate about it, it shouldn't suck the soul out of you, so maybe he just doesn't like doing it, and shouldn't be streaming, if it drains him so much? about 0,1% streamers tectone is right, but i think in general we're mostly talking here about SUCCESSFUL streamers, he says often people go full in as a streamer without back up plan, that's just dumb and these people shouldn't be taken as an example for this conversation, because it's like a dude without experience, manual skills, school or anything, would start let's say a carpentry business he has no idea how to do it, has absolutely no experience, noone knows him and fails miserably, such people shouldn't be even considered carpenters, similar thing goes for streamers, until you gain a steady viewership and income, you're just not there yet and can't be considered a professional streamer and we're not talking about only millionaires, streamers with small audience even if they make money comparable to regular jobs, have still easier job, because they have a small and loyal fanbase, just chilling there, no stalkers, judgment from thousands and all other downsides of being a streamer, that hasan or anyone involved in this conversation was talking about
Also I find it ironic that Tectone speaks for the smaller streamers that struggle with streaming but Asmon had a video where he shits on smaller streamers for disagreeing with him when he was defending Hasan. Man literally said "You're not even on the same level" and then he goes on to emphasize that people should be more empathetic but goes on to perpetuate that same toxic behaviour he was going on about artists and game devs when he called them pussies and that no one cares. You can see it when he responded to Preach and Aba.
I'd respond the same way. I give out what I'm giiven- if you're bein a disengenous asshole Im not going to be nice to you in return- I will however say that it should be a nicer interaction- but the straemers you watch aren't entitled to take disrespect with a smile, I fully expect them to slap back while saying that it'd be more beneficial if we were cordial.
@@ElfpireEva Respond to what slap? Asmon literally wasn't even the one people were upset at and he certainly wasn't the one people had been complaining to with regards to the whole art drama until he touched on it in his stream. He puts forth an insult to game devs and artists calling them pussies and said " to shut the fuck up, no one cares how hard your job is" but when a big streamer peer like Hasan is met with criticism about complaining about his job it's suddenly "Oh yeah I don't think people should be toxic like this" Like why say that when you perpetuate that same behaviour to a different set of people? Also it's kinda funny how in the first 5 seconds of Asmon's first video on this topic he outright says the solution to not make streaming soul draining, simply stop and rest. That's it. He can choose his own hours and rest whenever he wants to and the same goes for Hasan. They choose to do it the hard way and then complain about how shit is hard which would have been fine but it was clear from the get go Hasan was comparing it to regular jobs. Asmongold merely says it to us what he interprets Hasan meant to say but that's not even on people for going off of what Hasan said. Aba n Preach said it best how people don't know him like Asmon does and it's not their fault they can't read his mind when he supposedly misspeaks.
For me, I was also an army brat and had to move a lot and I’ll admit that it caused way more harm for me than good. Everyone is different though. I’ve been to three states. Ten schools and twelves homes. It also caused me to be outcasted and bullied in some schools too because being the new kid is not easy if you come in the middle of the school year. Never being able to keep friendships and constantly living with the fear as a kid that you might move again, so why even bother build relationships? Everyone is different again, it was just a very negative experience for me and I wish I would’ve grown up in a smaller town with the same people my whole life because long friendships have always meant more to me than short lived ones.
Exactly, teccy says it like its like that for all of you (provably doesn’t mean it like that though) but of course, that only works if you are or have predisposition to be naturally extroverted and outgoing
@@Strongest_under_heaven Well he was speaking from his own experiences,and not for everyone else's, so I also don't think he meant it like that either. Some people like moving and that's good on them, but for some others.. It can be traumatizing.
Why can't they say it's hard though? Any job is hard, literally jobs that are completely easy, you are not putting any effort into them. Now comparing to other jobs, clearly streaming is easier. But it's only easy if you are at the top 1% or 0.1%. Being just a normal streamer who is not a part of that 1 % is definitely not as lucrative, and that's why people normally do streaming as a side gig or a passion project. Asmon never said streaming is easier, he said it can be hard but is clearly not more difficult than almost any other job.
No you misunderstand, all that was being said is it’s a social job, so it’s socially draining. Period. Don’t listen to clip chimps and haters. Also hasan in particular isn’t just playin games for 8 hours like a normal streamer
Also hasan in particular was literally saying drama baiters and psycho haters make it tough for him, then he was clipped out of context lmfao proving his point literally
Asmon, as a huge fan, I just gotta say - you don't have to be correct on every single debate. This whole "job difficulty tier list" thing is simply an unwinnable argument. It's far too complex and nuanced, for the majority of us, it impacts all of our everyday lives. So why not just bring on guests on stream, host panels, turn topics like this into open discussions? You can farm content, maybe gain some new perspective, and everybody wins.
no one is doing a job difficulty tier list, did you even listen to them? they’re just saying its socially draining, which is true, and people are spinning it into some crazy shit to farm drama
@@mwalter98If you follow Asmon's stream, this podcast is only the latest bit of a much bigger, uglier ongoing debate with Asmon. He's received negative pushback/downvotes from his fans over his recent takes on careers/jobs and their overall "difficulty." So yes, Asmon has directly referred to a "job tier list," multiple times, on stream. There's a lot of history and context here - check out his latest videos if you're curious. The bigger point is this - we love to hear Asmon talk about games and stuff he's passionate/knowledgeable about. He is a smart guy - like I said, I'm a fan. But this specific topic is very sensitive, complicated, and it's easy to sound out of touch if you start making generalizations about people and their careers. Especially if you're a multi-millionaire playing video games for a living, and speaking confidently about everyday people and their job situations. It's objectively a bad look. Asmon could gain credibility by bringing on fans with everyday jobs: construction workers/contractors, plumbers, fast food folks, nurses/medical staff, retail employees, maybe even work-from-home people, etc. - and having an honest, open discussion about people and their careers. There is literally no downside to this idea. Asmon could become more educated about what people actually do and gain some perspective, and the fans would get a chance to voice their opinions - most of us with jobs DEFINITELY have opinions. Asmon is also excellent at interviewing people, so you know it would be fun to watch.
The whole "streaming is one of the most stressful jobs" discussion only started because streamers don't think their job is recognized as being hard or stressful when comparing it to other occupations. Which is ironic, because the whole point of streaming is to be recognized. In reality, no one cares how hard or stressful your job is, regardless of what you do.
Especially when you can make millions talking into a mic and looking at a camera in your home making your own hours and so on. Idk if I'd ever give up my school custodial job for something soooo difficult sounding as that.
Do you not realize it's people like you that makes it soul sucking? Imagine having to deal with thousands of idiots talking at/or about you nonstop. It's like serving. The job itself isn't hard. But dealing with idiots is what makes it hard.
As a Brazilian, it's always good to hear a first world millionaire complain about how sitting in a chair all day playing video games and talking shit is an extremely difficult "job". hehe XD...
@43:50 Even if you presented kids with empirical evidence that the majority of "school friends" are just proximity relationships, 99% of them won't possess the emotional maturity to recognize the truth.
No one wants to come home from a hard day at work and hear some nepo baby complain about screaming at his chat and lying to his viewers for 12 hours 7:38 not to mention imagine mopping up come and hearing asmon say this just not intelligent
Tectone's point about only the top streamers making a living is not an argument against what people are saying. No one is saying they just want to be ABLE to stream; obviously anyone can do that. Tectone's point is serving the opposite purpose to what he is trying to claim because people aren't talking about streamers with a couple of viewers that do it as a hobby, they are talking about that tiny percentage of streamers at the top who are also the ones making claims about how difficult it is. The small streamers who don't make any money aren't the ones we hear complaining because we don't hear from them at all.
The thing that stuck me the most, was when one of asmons only examples of ‘streaming being difficult’ was him relating to his fathers health and finding it difficult looking after him. Try caring for a parent working ‘an easy’ 9-5. Lmfao. Try looking after a parent when you literally don’t have the option to just not turn up to work that day, because you’ll incur excess absences and potentially face dismissal. Never mind working for pennies and worrying you won’t be able to pay your mortgage. Fucking delusional. So out of touch it’s insane
The people at the top got there by taking on more responsibility and difficulty. OBVIOUSLY. If it makes you mad when they express that, it's a problem with YOU. Maybe you should work harder.
@@AshleyCarter699 First of all, nothing you said is relevant to my comment. I simply pointed out the flawed reasoning behind what Tectone said. He made an objectively false argument by failing to recognize that people were specifically talking about successful streamers so the fact that most streamers are unsuccessful is irrelevant. Furthermore, streamers just don't gain success by "taking on more responsibility and difficulty", they can only be successful if they gain a large enough audience, and luck plays a very large role in that process. There are countless people who try to make a career with streaming and there are no doubt many who don't succeed in spite of being just as hard working and competent as those at the top. Even they understand that luck plays a tremendous role in attaining success in what they do, which is why they always tell people that it's not wise to get into it and expect to have a career.
@bunklypeppz This is pure cope, luck doesn't mean anything unless said person knows what to do with that luck and can take advantage of the opportunity. People at the top undeniably take on more responsibility and difficulties, trying to argue this is delusional.
@@AshleyCarter699 You're the delusional one. No one is saying that being successful doesn't involve taking on some kind of responsibility; the point is that such "responsibilities" are a minor price to pay for the success that comes with it. Most popular streamers/youtubers didn't even gain their initial success on purpose, they simply did it because it was something they liked to do until it started to become a viable source of income. There are countless people who would be happy to take on such responsibility, but that willingness or even ability is NOT what makes a streamer successful. Luck is the #1 factor in achieving success in such a profession. People who COULD be successful are a-dime-a-dozen on twitch, youtube, etc. Most of them simply never gain the momentum to be successful-- they are literally at the mercy of the platforms' algorithms to even be discovered by most viewers, as well as countless other factors that could prevent an otherwise competent streamer from acquiring an audience.
I quit my job two years ago with thoughts of streaming. I’ve been playing video games for two years straight, but still can’t get around to the streaming part.
Missing the point of why people are mad. Talking to people for 8 hours straight is draining, fucking duh. The reason people are mad is being dismissive of "normal jobs"
Bruh it's so easy to fucking just sit there and complain how people are idiots... Oh they are just mad they don't hear the rationality.... Streaming and shit talking like this is the easiest thing ever...
7:26 What's damaging is the streamers that hit a stroke of luck after going all in on streaming urging people to do the same, which you see pretty often.
You keep comparing streaming to white collar jobs. Try comparing it to some blue collar jobs. I would love to see a lot of these streamers attempt to do the job i had for 8 years doing skilled labor climbing, lifting, and crawling. The streamers that are capable of doing blue collar jobs or have in the past arent participating in this conversation for a reason.
5:51 - Kind of a dishonest point to make considering that simply by pressing "live" you can't exactly be a fulltime streamer instead of working a job. We're talking in the context of jobs here, and so therefore it would have to be at least have to come with a somewhat sustainable income, otherwise it's simply a hobby. In fact it's hard to even start streaming, as you'd have to make ridiculous hours to even get to the top percentage, while working a fulltime job at the same time. Only ways to do it is making like 80-90 hours a week which isn't sustainable, be a student so have a lot of free time aka start early, or having enough savings aside to risk it, which would require a lot of sacrifice as well with anything but a guarantuee. When people are referring to "I'd rather be a streamer, it's under the assumption that they'd make the same amount of money they currently do working their "real" job.
Yeah the debate about "harder" jobs needs to be had for equivalent pays... otherwise you are not comparing how hard a job is to do you are comparing how hard a job is to get... otherwise by that logic being a trust fund child is the hardest because it's impossible to be one unless you were born into wealth.
Some people would be happy with making min wage or the area between most popular and not seen. Some people are smart with their money and could make a good living off of a "small salary" streaming. Or doing anything they like. The balance between making money and doing something you enjoy for money/to make a living is something everyone should think about more. Being miserable, even if it means you're making a lot of money, to me, isn't always worth it. It's not all people complaining because they think it's easy, but yes there will be learned experiences and bad times that would probably change 75% of people's minds who think they would rather stream, or the amount of ppl that assume there's just some fast track. Which, tbh, there probably is if ppl really set out to do it and devote all their time to knowing what makes it work. It's like anything with enough time, devotion, and luck... you can make it happen. Everyone just gets in their cycles of shit and the things you hear ppl parot gets old. You're probably right though most ppl wouldn't rather trade their life to stream, even if they don't have much going for them.😮
11:00 Tectone ruined the point he was making right there. There's a difference between a JOB and a career/hobby. Running an animal shelter isn't often viewed as a Job, even by the employees working there because it's their passion. If you do what you love, it's not a Job, you're following your dream and making money in the process. A 9 to 5 job isn't a passion, it's a means to an end. No one would rather work a Job vs working on their passion if both made the same amount of money. Even if Hassan is considering streaming as a Job and not his passion, people would obviously rather do that because he makes MORE money than a typical 9 to 5, meaning the "end" of the "means to an end" comes a lot quicker, but also because typically streamers get to choose their own hours. It's not like streamers HAVE to stream 5 days a week, 8 hours a day or risk losing their income. How many streamers take a month long or year long break and come back to an audience? a lot of them. Pokimane has taken many breaks and is bigger than she's ever been before despite trying to sell overpriced cookies to her obviously gullible audience. You can't do that at a 9 to 5. So while Hassan is free to consider streaming as a Job he doesn't enjoy or socially drains him, to the masses it's exactly what Asmon said "no one wants to go to the hairdresser and hear them complain about cutting hair". This is literally the plot of numerus superhero comics like Superman, where Superman complains about having powers and not being like everyone else and the people around him get kinda annoyed because the world views him as someone whose better than them. Usually ending in the classic "with great power comes great responsibility" speech and while I won't say that's true, I will say that you have to recognize your privilege. I'm sure if Hassan went and worked an ACTUAL 9 to 5, back breaking, soul sucking job right now, for a month, he'd go crawling back to streaming in a heartbeat. It disrespects and spits in the faces of those less fortunate in life, even when you're completely justified in your opinions, the unfairness of the world balances everything out. It's unfair in the eyes of the poor that you're rich with "arguably" less work. So in fairness, you're not allowed to complain. You can't have your cake and cry about it too. "Socially draining", yeah sure, my little sister's first job at Walmart had some karen calling her "an ugly bitch who'll never get a husband", TO HER FACE, all because she asked the woman not to hold the line up because she was texting on her phone and was distracted, she cried for the entire night after coming home and didn't want to go back to work but had to because if she didn't she'd be homeless. Streamers got people sending text messages that can be blocked within a second. (though i will acknowledge the fact that live events can be very socially draining for streamers and even dangerous for certain streamers, specifically controversial and female streamers, obviously stalkers and assholes are a thing but streamers have more power to deal with that than say a girl working at a fast food chain who happened to attract a really unhinged coworker who ended up stalking her to the point of murdering her (real story), aside from a few smaller content creators, i've yet to hear of this happening to any big streamer, with the closest being amouranth which may or may not have been a huge OF marketing ploy to begin with)
If it causes you stress, you have the right to complain about it. Just because you choose to do something doesn’t mean you have no right to ever feel upset, annoyed, etc. Can musicians and artists not complain because they have tons of fans and money? No, of course not. You people just want something to get upset at because you can’t do something better with your own life. Just because someone works harder or more hours than you doesn’t make your suffering any less than. Everyone’s struggles and stresses are valid and saying that streamers and such shouldn’t complain because they don’t work a 9-5 and it’s a “choice” is hypocrisy.
@@G0dspeed101 "even when you're completely justified in your opinions, the unfairness of the world balances everything out." thank you for reiterating the point I already made.
I think that anyone who thinks that millionaires dont have problems or go through hard times are so far removed from society that they just want to bitch. Anyone can go through hard times and how much money you have doesnt determine how happy you are
It absolutely does. You are the one removed from socienty if you think money doesnt bring happines. I would rather cry while having money to eat, in a house. Dont know about you.
No, I actually get it. Being a streamer is actually difficult. You people just don't understand. They have to constantly think of the next video to react to. They might even occasionally have to play a game! But by far... the hardest part is trying to stay out of sexually charged situations with minors.
The conversation from 43:00 I think Asmon is right. When you’re in primary school That kinda thing matters ALOT ! Moving schools can be massively disruptive to a child’s well-being and development. Especially if it’s out of your control and you have no agency on where to go.
I'd have to disagree with Tectone at 6mins in because I would easily choose streaming over my current job for the same pay I'm making at my current job. no need for the excessive money
so you agree with him..? he was literally trying to make a point that there's not a lot of jobs that people would choose over being a streamer because it's not that demanding
I’m 26 and started playing games at 4/5 years old with random rpg games and the sims and continued with wow until high school so it’s kind of crazy to hear that’s when Emi started playing games online! I try to watch every episode, love the honesty all around guys ❤😊
It's funny to see asmongold frame the viewers opinions as completely emotional when the logical argument is that streaming is a Hobby turned job. This jobs are not draining to the same degree as regular jobs which are mandatory for the working class to survive. The worse part of this controversy is that asmongold is defending a nepo baby, like hasan. In some ways asmon is the same though, payed off home and supporting parents letting him do whatever. Most of us were working by 16 or by 18 and being unemployed past that age was reason enough for us to be kicked out.
Streaming seems great, but there's no way I'd wanna talk nonstop for 8~+ hours a day. In general sometimes it's good to have a back up plan, going all in is great- when you can afford it. I went seriously with art for most of my life but had 0 back up plan, I'm a former foster kid so no safety net etc. I did have some success but I wasn't expecting the massive boom of AI in recent years. I think having some sort of backup plan is extremely important especially if you spend years at something without much results, or if it's an extremely risky or highly competitive career you're trying to break into.
The problem is Hasan, a top streamer that makes millions of dollars is crying about talking for 9 hours. He has control of his stream. If I was already a .01% streamer, I wouldn't be crying to my viewers. If he's socially drained, guess what? TALK LESS and don't interact with dumb viewers! If a streamer with a low viewer count is crying about how draining it is then I would be like "yeah, you're trying hard to grow your channel but it's not growing. Must be exhausting to grind to grow and maintain your viewer base". Tectone is the one that missed the point lol
He didnt get sponsered lmao. Blizzard wouldnt sponser him. Asmon talks so much shit about blizz. Including d4. he liked it when it first came out, because it gives a really good impression. But then after he played a long while, he ended up seeing it wasnt as good as he thought it was, like many people. Just because a big streamer or youtuber likes a game, doesnt make it sponsered.
As a new content creator, I hope the impression that's given toward myself and my channel isn't that of an easy out from working. I've worked my whole life and finally have the ability to create what I want to and spend my time as I wish for myself and my family
Not at all, i think if anyone extended that whole issue to EVERY content creator except Hassan and the top 1% of streamers defending his take is an idiot. Content creation is a real job that now is a really competitive and thought market. The hole drama was about Hasan saying this and devaluing normal peoples work experience. No one sane would claim that starting off on You tube or Twitch without being known before is easy.
The cold hard truth is... For TH-cam... New Content Creators who don't hit big will often work years with zero Ad Revenue. That's the truth of the majority and how TH-cam is. Not sure about Twitch but making content on TH-cam is not easy, financial wise.
Nah, the problem is that both hasan an asmongold are nepo babies talking down to the working class. Hasan comes from a wealthy family and got opportunities to carve his niche thanks to his uncle cenk. While asmongold had financially stable parents paying his warcraft subscription and gave the opportunity to stream and make warcraft content as an unemployed young adult.
OK, at this point it's actually frustrating. The hole point people got mad at Hasan is very simple. He said and i quote: "yes, a real job can be gruesome a real job can make you very tired but a real job doesn't suck the soul out of you, you know what i mean? In the same way that 9 hours of streaming absolutely will." And then added "no no no no no no, social battery wise unless you're in retail, unless you're in f*****g retail. It's very different. You're out of touch" There are 2 aspects of this problematic to say the least statement. 1. The source of that comment. It's a multi millionaire streamer, a react streamer, a "watch my chair and the video playing in the background that someone else made" streamer, a political SOCIALIST MULTIMILLIONER streamer that made that comment. And HE was the only one criticized, at least to the point that You started to defend him, missing the actual context of the backlash. 2. Devaluing peoples experiences. He just took every single job (except retail) and basically said "socially draining wise its not as bad as mine". The EGO behind that statement is massive. Especially coming from someone Young and without a lot of actual job market experience. Just go and google job stories, encounters with bosses and co workers. There are full TH-cam channels dedicated to workforce experiences, the abuse, inhumanity, labor law braking, lawsuit pending experiences people have on daily basis, and You will see people frustration with this topic. And then You have Tectone saying "what they mean is they would rather be a streamer in the top 1%". Well no shit, it was the top 1% streamer that made that comment and now You are deluding Yourself thinking that everyone is stupid except You when Your obviously in defensive mode thinking everyone is diminishing Your work and experiences. You are really dumbing down the initial people's reaction. I get it there was a lot of comments, and a lot of dumb ones too but You really are missing the point. TLDR: The whole issue is that Hassan instead of saying " i feel incredibly socially drained after 9 hours of streaming" said "job wise i am more socially drained than any one of YOU (except retail workers....)". You really don't see an issue with that ?
This exactly I'm losing my mind at how are they not seeing this, makes me think they're doing it on purpose at this point for the sake of winning an argument
I feel you tectone I've had friends/gf's in the past with a similar experience of moving a lot during there youth and not having that group of friends you always grew up with. I've been blessed to have grown up around some pretty great people but there a lot of those friendships that also faded into nothing and are just a memory of the past now. You cant recreate those relationships esxactly but you make new ones that are just as meaningful. :)
5:15 is so disingenuous bro. Nobody was mad they were complaining about their job. From an outsiders perspective who doesn't necessarily care one way or another cause this is all new to me, they were mad because the streamers compared what they do to what normal people do and then said it was harder. I heard the phrase "More socially draining than" more than once in all this ridiculousness.
Everyone says “I wanna be a streamer?” but not “can I be streamer?”. You have to realize if you’re entertaining or not, whether or not you can sit for hours making something out of nothing. Unfortunately most people cant, most can’t entertain. Remember you’re not entertaining yourself, you’re entertaining others, so sitting there playing not talking or anything is boring for the viewer. You have to have an expressive personality. Remember they’re not watching you because the game, they’re watching the game because of you. Another topic, every job is hard in its own way. For example, construction maybe more physically draining than socially draining, but an office job may not be a physical draining, but is socially draining.
Used to love this podcast, never missed an episode. I can't click off the video quick enough once someone starts eating and talking. It's just the boomer in me thinking it's rude as fuck.

Asmon saying 13:40 "No one wants to go to the hairdresser and hear them complain how annoying cutting hair is" really hits the nail on the head why viewers are pissed, lol.
Actually, not really. That would be weird, but what would be really upsetting is him saying his job is harder than your job (which may be true in some cases) because people don't like having their efforts in their jobs be downplayed.
Why is he even saying this? Asmon never goes to a hairdresser, he has no clue about how the world is outside his messy house. 😅 And I’ve never met a hairdresser who complained about their job. They mostly only small talk.
@@TheLeviathan1293 exactly, the whole point was it being compared to regular people. idk why so many people miss the point its not that hard

@@ARocketsPocketthat's exactly the reason he's saying this?!? I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic...
the reason they small talk and don't talk about their problems is because people DON'T want to hear about it, just like Asmon says.

For those that don't know, when Hassan says "His sales job" what he really means is his job of buying Facebook ads for the Young Turks when he was employed by his uncle after he finished college. Privilege from top to bottom.
Wait how is buying ad's "a sales job"? That's a marketing job not a sales job.
Even his sales job was through nepotism 💀💀 look I understand there are struggles which streamers face but I hate how Hasan is trying to larp like he comes from humble backgrounds just like your average person when he was born into wealth and always had the money and connections most people do not have

@@danieladler3210such empty advice 😂
Emi has the only sensible take
Edit: I know they are agreeing on points I know there’s nuance and I know they are all on the same page.
No they all said people would rather stream. Doesn’t make their point invalid. Hasan in particular was talking about how it affects his life and mental when he has insane cyber stalkers, drama farmers, general dedicated haters, and preaching 10 hours a day is draining to him. Not that he isn’t going to do it. He literally said he’s profoundly lucky like right before that drama clip lmao
@@greenburg2276Hasan is a drama farmer, he creates fake drama and profits off of it, its his entire business model. Hasan preaches hate to anyone who disagrees with his juvinile political propaganda, he spreads way more hate then any of his viewers.
They should just turn down everyone’s mic but hers on these topics, she’s the only one without an ego
But she agreed with the finer points… They are literally in the same page, but people are just happy with the one that doesn’t point out the minor complications, as they all said; they’re extremely happy, privileged, and lucky to be where they are. They all agree they wouldn’t trade it for anything (except for non existent free money fun gigs) As Amon says, “shut up, and dance monkey.”
100% true. Tectone and Asmon are on their high horse, saying nobody would pick a job playing video games all day getting paid millions of dollars. Yeah freaking right. These guys are just delusional and narcissistic. Theyve had such an easy life so long they don't get the real world anymore. They are totally out of touch with reality. I'm glad Emi at least chimed in and said the truth, unfortunately the bozos with her just won't listen. Money absolutely corrupted them so much at this point that they couldn't see the truth even if they tried. I'm glad people like Emi can still stay grounded and down to earth. But people like Asmon and Tectone have such hugely inflated egos they will never again understand the life of real world people.
Here’s the thing about complaining about your job. You can always complain to your equals. You can sometimes complain upward. But NEVER complain to people below when it comes to income/job difficulty. Every job has problems and everyone has struggles to complain about. But people that have it objectively worse than you (which is going to be 99% of your fan base) are NOT going to want to hear any ounce of complaining from you. Vast majority of them would DIE to be able to sit around playing video games all day and make millions of dollars.
Asmon stating how late he started online gaming in 2005 cause he's 33 and there supposedly weren't that many online games around at that time hits kinda different when i remember that i started online gaming a decade before that in 1995 and even went to a LAN Party halfway through the country as a teenager to meet up with my online buddys a few years later.
It's weird to think back how quickly online multiplayer came around, fall of 2001 Halo came out and we would all bring our tv/xbox to someone's basement for an entire weekend in highschool. Then Halo 2 in 2004 and we were all playing on Xbox Live. LAN parties were dead, (mostly) for us.
@@toastonryeYT never played halo before the masterchief collection (or owned a xbox).
Not exactly sure about when we stopped LAN-Paries, but it has to be after 2006/7 as we played Battlefield2142 on the later ones which released end of 06.
Sure Online gaming was getting bigger and connectivity issues less (ever played a fast paced shooter with people who use 56k analogue modems with a playerbase having both europe and us players in the same match?) But we liked the meetups (somehow my social anexty didn't kick in on those events making them one of the few social gatherings i could attend without feeling uncomfortable) and since we had access to the IT-Class room of a local school on weekends/during holidays for our later LANs we usually didn't have to bring Screens and Cables.
In my 8th grade computer science class, 98', our group project was on "networking" and we played doom over the lan for a month. Good times
@@Retalin_ nice. wouldn't have worked at my catholic former girls only school run by nuns.
We had some school project for making some virtual school walkaround though where i started to rebuilt a part of the school in half-life (with the counterstrike mod) but it was declined for obvious reasons my younger self didn't think of when i showed an early prototype to a teacher. In the end they ended up with a sinple picture slideshow.
@@TheAzureGhost catholic nuns, yikes. I lucked out, our teacher was an old Vietnam vet and was very libertarian and basically checked out so as long as we didn't make noise and could do a presentation on the required material, it was all good. That class was also where I first was exposed to South Park for the first time, good times

Asmon's editor is gonna be really mad about this eternal stunlock
Sounds fun. I don't know the context, care to enlighten me? :)
8:05 That ain't it.
Actually, that is not the whole thing. If you say "this job makes me tired" nobody will antagonize you just because of that. It's when you start comparing it to other jobs that other people may get upset if you get it wrong.
For example, Dokibird talked about her situation in Nijisanji and most people sympathized with her. Why? Because she's not saying being a Nijisanji liver is worse than any of her viewers' jobs, and she has never even mentioned or made any comparison. If anything, the people who perform some of those jobs know how much Dokibird appreciates them for it.
Exactly this.
Real and true. Comparing it is so victimy
No I dont think so, just stating anything bad about streaming will get you people who hate on you. If you say streaming for 10 hours every day is tiring, people will still say 'try a real job for 10 hrs ' 'imagine getting tired watching videos for 10 hrs' 'ok millionaire, we are tired for 10 hours too in hard labor' No matter what you say, you will always get shit if you talk about streamning in a negative light because people dehumanize streamers and envy them.
Dokibird is a completely different situation because she was actively getting harassed to the point where she almost deleted herself and was basically owned by Niji. Thats like comparing a fast food worker that is working for extra cash in high school vs a fast food worker that is working paycheck to paycheck and stuck in that fast food worker line. You can compare jobs, but situation is completely different.
@@PostWin
"just stating anything bad about streaming will get you people who hate on you"
I mean... do there exist people who will act like that? Yes. To THIS degree? Not in any way. Read the criticism. People are generally complaining because a comparison is being made by a person with a lot of money, but anyone who makes such a comparison will get people upset.
These days Nux uploaded a video in which, among other things, he talked about how growing as a content creator may expose you to hate and spoke of his own experience with that. 33 people disliked that video. 33. 3400 likes, 33 dislikes. He said something bad about streaming, but nobody cares, because nobody had their own experiences with life downplayed by him.
@@TheLeviathan1293 yeah except I dont think its Asmon ever compared streaming to other jobs in a way to look down on the other jobs. You can compare jobs like streaming and service work for examples and find a lot of parallels but people don't want to hear it because streaming makes a lot of money which is irrational thinking.
Base of it all is that people feel like streaming is so easy with a ton of money so you should be grateful and don't express negative opinions of it because everyone would want to be in your shoes. Except streaming and cc in general is extremely hard to do otherwise everyone would be a streamer. His main point was streaming is uniquely hard even from large streamers and small streamers have unique hardships.
Besides all that, even if you don't directly compare and use other jobs as examples., people are inherently going to compare anyways. If Asmon said streaming is hard because so and so, the viewer will compare streaming and Asmon's hardships to themselves and their job. Thats why he said to never talk about it because it will always spawn a negative result unless something transparently bad happened like in the case of Doki.
Just so people aren't misinformed here. People are upset at Hassan, for saying that "Streaming is more socially draining than a regular job". The key here is MORE than a REAL job. That's where people get pissed off. Because he doesn't understand how socially draining a "REAL" job is. And also, the fact he can turn off his stream if he's "socially drained" and go chill out, whereas if you're a regular worker you have to suck it up and keep going.
It has nothing to do with jealousy, or hating those that complain that have more than you do, it's about him telling the general public that they don't get as socially drained as he does.
Asmon only showered because tectone said he was going to smell him this week
I love how Asmon after literaly 3-4 seconds had to admit that he didnt know exactly what Hasan said and what he ment, but he still made a long video arguing against the quote "streaming is the hardest job in the world" and rallying his army of goblins against Hasan at the same time not realizing that Hasan never even said those words and the entire context was that streaming and other social and service jobs are draining in one way and physical labor is another thing. Never comparing the two different professions directly and spending an entire hour explaining exactly what he ment. Take a 5 second snippet out of context and making a video about it is just up Asmongolds ally these days. Cant even think of any streamer that is more reactionary and out of context right now, atleast compared to how he used to be a couple of years ago. Fits his narrative and his chat perfectly though!
Edit: Also important to note that the way Asmon and Hasan streams and what content they are providing is entirely night and day. Asmon plays some of his favorite games and throw in some reactionary content here and there meanwhile Hasan's stream is mostly live commentating on important political and societal subjects. Arguing about abortion, work ethics, insanely disturbing conservative comments vs playing games for a few hours. I wonder which one is more draining!
Emi is the only smart one on this topic. She said so little but said so much. Very contrasting to the other two's argument.
Because she is humble, she knows she would be nobody without them. Asmongold cant even wipe his ass properly. I cringe everytime this guy gives any advice because if he is so smart why does he live like animal ignoring his parents etc. This guy was addicted to games for most of his life and would probably live off state if he wasnt INCREDIBLY lucky.
Ignoring his parents, brother wut?

I like how they mentioned "not every streamer makes it big" as if anyone is mad some 3k viewer Andy struggles with the job.
I think the thing is, large streamers likely do well enough they could pivot to something else if they wanted to. A 23 yr old working 2 jobs can't. Not nearly as easily. This is pretty clearly a privilege some of them haven't really realized yet.
Though I also don't think someone saying "hey this job is super draining sometimes" should've ever been a point of contention for the community either.
He in particular was saying how doing political theory for 10 hours a day is a lot, and brings a ton of like psycho dedicated cyber stalkers and haters
@@greenburg2276best part is the argument of "well... Then just dont stream so long" right. Beacuse if I stream for a few less hours that will stop any of my digital social outlets from being overrun by hatred and psychos for the crime of "I said something disagreeable on my stream"
@@greenburg2276 He didn't say that at all. He said doing streaming CAN be hard and he understands that viewpoint. He agreed with the socially draining comment in the conversation of just streaming, not comparing it to other jobs.
He agrees streaming for him and the other 1% streamers who earn millions through it is a privilege. None of them think it's harder than almost any other job, he simply said it is a hard job as literally any other job is hard, again not harder than other jobs but hard in general.
Ofc, for us who don't have to do it we can't say how hard it is actually, but it's clearly not harder than a construction job or a chef in a kitchen, or a barista who mostly earn way less.
Asmon is ignoring the lack of stress from job security that he and Hasan have. That lowers the stress levels quite a bit.
It is stresful for him because he isn't very smart and fights with people in his chat all the time when they call him out on bad takes like this one. @@greenburg2276
Emiru does come across as Aspergers to me but that's just the general feel I get from her. Seem's very genuine. Everyone here's got a good heart.
"a real job doesn't suck the soul out of you in the same way that 9 hours of streaming absolutely will" - verbatim hasan quote
asmon and now teccy are the ones not interpreting hasans words correctly but they try to gaslight others. hasan was comparing streaming to a real job and was saying its harder, there is no room for misinterpretation if you are being honest and using your brain. they should rewatch the clip a dozen times until it clicks
exactly. instead of admitting they are wrong for agreeing with Hasan, they are trying to gaslight their viewers and spin the topic. this is a sign they have no respect for the intelligence level of their viewers. they think we are dumb enough to fall for it.
the best thing they can do now, honestly, is just fully admit they are wrong, and that they had a change in perspective on the issue. if they fully admit they were wrong this will help slowly build they respect back from their viewers. until then, i cannot give either of them any respect.
until then, everyone should boycott them into oblivion as well. maybe if their own wallet is effected they might start to realize the truth of the matter and start giving more respect to the average real world person who watches their content.
@@joneill62614 i don't think they're doing anything malicious i just think they've misinterpreted what hasan said
im pretty sure i could also take quotes out of context because he also said he didnt mean there isnt jobs more soul destroying and that streaming drains your social battery (which it does) more than most jobs bar retail public facing sorta jobs(which is true).
@@TheInnerSession so? hasan says there are some jobs that are more draining but he still believes his job is more draining then most. thats bs and asmon unfortunately never really tried to figure out why its bs. i guess it comes down to if you are going to give hasan the benefit of the doubt, personally i never would considering how he treats people
Hasan corrected himself shortly after by saying he meant it in regards to social drain. I'm not at all surprised your thinking is limited to a short clip, though, this tik tok generation is actually mentally handicapped.
*Whining Millionaire Streamers* are the new *Whining Millionaire Hollywood Actors*

Idk if it’s quite the same. I mean I understand your point and the privilege they have, but I’ve also seen twitch chat.
If I had to deal with 10-30k degenerates every day I’d probably complain a bit too idk. Especially when you know some people are just trying to clip chimp.
Well said.
@@nvrsn1115 Meh. They could quit at anytime. Instead they try to do the half measure boundary thing. Very subtly shaming parasocial behavior just enough to keep it mellow enough while they milk it.
Ricky Gervais? nahh, get Bill Burr
@@somersault1123 exactly, they want all the pros of having a large, profitable fanbase without any of the naturally following cons that comes with a large profitable fanbase.
Doesn’t help Asmon and Tectone farm drama like crazy so obviously they’ll attract a lot of toxic parasocial drama frogs and haters. If you stick to relatively more tame subjects, i guarantee you that while there will still be a small minority of people acting bad, it will be significantly smaller than their current situation, though of course this usually means a smaller amount of engagement so they’ll be making less money which they seem not willing to do.
I think the issue with the whole Hasan and streamer thing is that they complain about how draining it is to do the work but then intentionally force themselves into doing it for long hours when their job has the priviledge of a flexible schedule, they don't need to stream 9 to 5 (the 1% streamers).
You don't really know if they have or not have to, you are just making presumptions. You are cluless of their spending habits so at the end of the day they might very well have to to cover fir whatever lifestyle they have. Someone on minimal wage "doesn't have" to work their a** off either, they could live off welfare or be homless in a ditch but if you ask such person they will tell you they have to work as they do.
Isn’t he under contract to stream a lot?
@@RaynaNox Yes we do, no one is forcing you to meet a quota or else they fire you. This style of work it is entirely optional, same as most independent contractor work. I worked as Personal Trainer for years and more or less chose my own schedule, if I didn't need the money I wouldn't overextend myself time wise and would choose a more comfortable schedule over a more profitable one. The main difference is the ones complaining make so much money that they could walk away for half the year and not even be phase with no risk of losing their assets or homes.
Being intentionally dense does no one any favors.
@@theperfectbeing True, being intentionaly dense does no ones favours. You might want to lusten to your own advice on that.
As said, you are only seeing their earnings, you aren't seeing their expenses and you are inserting yourself, your own experience, your own ideas of what is "enough" cash into it. They are rich in comparison to you, it is you who see them as rich, a person richer than them does not. They do not necessarily perceive themselves as such (unless they compare themselves with you, obviously) etc. Bottom point is that you are forcing your own limited perception on them and you are doing it because they are better off than you.
But hey, what do I care if you are not capable to see the issue beyond the amount of $€£¥ someone has or diesn't have. It's your loss.

As a first gen American from a Mexican family (who is more light skinned) I can confirm this weird discrimination happens too. Some family members will talk to me in a much nicer manner than if they were talking to someone in the family with darker skin. Shit is weird, man.
I agree! In Puerto Rico it happens too and It’s the most odd thing ever it’s insane how family members can act like that.
This video captures the fact these people just live in different world and I dont want to sound mean there. My parents died during terrorist attack. I had to live on my own since the age of 16, I had to have job on construction site working 12 hours a day 5 days a week while trying to finish my school. I still remember I could not even move my arms and had to take painkillers just so I could work next day. I knew I was fucked because nowadays kids stay with parents to their late 20s so they can save up money to live somewhere etc.
I finished my Masters 2 years ago and I was saving money where I could. Gained a lot of experience during the construction work so I built myself a small house, just 4 rooms it was just for me but it was mine and that all that mattered. But I could not find job in the field because its very saturated. So I gained a contract to build a house for my friend. I was happy because I could finaly get some money.
I built the house, 2 months after it was finished I was sued.. the guy faked all documents and said I overpriced the house by 700%, his wife is lawyer. I was in a lot of stress and I got seizure from that stress. I was in hospital for 4 months I didnt even know what is my name, didnt know I was sued, there was nobody, no family who could help me. I lost the lawsuit (since I was in hospital ) and I had to sell my house, car and everything I owned to pay for it. I lost everything, I lost 12 years of my life savings and home I built.
That family happily lives in that house to this day, for free. I completely paid for everything in that house. Every fucking thing I built there from the foundation to the last tile on the wall in their shower.
Then you see someone on stream (the top 1% you talk about ) getting $3000 for farting on stream. I will not name who that streamer is, but when you see this shit happening while your life crumbles under your legs like this and you know you are fucked until you die, it makes you mad.
I am personaly not mad about streamers, I am mad because I had nobody helping me while I was dealing with all this shit. I had months where I could only afford to eat once per 3 days, I had days where I had to deal with absolute retards like streamers do.
I know there are tons of people who didnt have such traumatic event like me, there are people who were born, got family, saved money, went on vacations.. I am 32 and I never saw SEA in my life.
So please be happy for the incredible luck you had to become popular streamer. I would do anything to make at least $100 while not having to deal with any of this shit.
Now I work in IT, we are probably getting replaced by Indians since they dont need to be paid at all, or AI. This is what real life is, chaotic moments that make you unconfortable all the time. You never know what is going to happen. I thought I won life when I finished that house just to lose everything in such a small amount of time. Thats what you lack as a big streamer, you have problems in your life but for example what Asmon mentioned that his dads health might get bad etc. everybodys parents might get worse but you can see that he is not really worried. Because he can pay for that healthcare, you can see him ignoring his father sending him home while he visits him. Doesnt even get up to clean the house before his parrents visit him.
Huge amount of money just makes your life so much easier and the truth is there is an monopoly on streaming, these people dont have to worry about their lives ever again.
Even if you ignore everything I said so far the truth is most people live paycheck by paycheck esp young people. Cost of living is insane. Its not fair to compare my life to these people, its like comparing myself to celebrities like Taylor Swift. Maybe some of you will read this, so you know that people actualy suffer too.
Sorry for my bad grammar I learned english from american cartoons and I live in Czech republic ( no its not in russia or India )
I read it, and I am sorry that happened to you, I know this will sound cliche but just never give up in life, You never know what the future holds ✌
I agree with you, i work in the industrial factory for 10 years, its so physically exhausting im breaking down with health problems every few months.
The audacity some people had to say how its hard to be a streamer or giving some life advices and so on, like these people have no clue what a down to earth honest, hard work is
They literally just TALk all the time on camera and get paid for this, if I could do that i wont even THINK for a second to do so and be happy about it.
Brother fuck that family go get your material and labor back. If you grew up in construction you know what I mean. 🏠+🔥+🚒=🏚️⛺️
Lawyer up my man, rent cheap save. Sue. Get that house.
The problem was never about saying if streaming is hard or not. Its because you are set for life being the 0.1% of twitch, while the rest of us slave away just trying to survive. READ THE ROOM. Nobody cares if you think you got it rough. Keep it to yourself or tell it to your friends/family. Saying this shit to thousands of people while on the clock so to speak is incredibly tone deaf.
lmao the ad read was so good Tec
You have the privilege to reduce the amount of hours you stream, if it's too socially draining. That fact alone renders every point you make completely moot.
And it was one of the 0.1% streamers that complained, so of course we will compare to that. Stop using the other 99.99% as a shield to try and prove your point.
After so many hours and several hundred thousand people, and you're still completely stunlocked. Spending all that time talking to a chat on the screen does really put you of touch with the rest of the world, no doubt.

100% agree with Tech and Emi on the streamer thing. There is a huge element of luck to it. It's not just pure hard work/grind or even smarts and grind. I wouldn't want to be a streamer but I'd rather do that than most jobs. Jobs suck.
D4 story wasn't bad and the cutscenes were cool. Last Epoch story and cutscenes are terrible. They look like pre-Sora AI video. But Last Epoch is a lot better than d4 imo due to gameplay. Also, I really like the LE graphics and spells. Warlock and Falconer are fun AF

To be fair.... Tectone started it xD
its actually kinda annoying to listen to the drama in a chill podcast
my ear burns
@@icehGG they often talk about drama.
I understand you guys are saying streaming is socially draining, but Hasan was COMPLAINING and COMPARING the difficulties of streaming to "normal jobs" not JUST his own 2 month trial like Asmond said he did (reducing the general public's response down to " streamers think streaming is the hardest job" and "jUsT Do yOuR JOb wE DoN't cARe" is disingenuous).
The majority of "normal" jobs have WAY lower income than the streamers talking about the subject ( being YOUR group and people like Hasan, not the smaller streamers so don't put yourself in the same boat and use them as a meat shield).
As Asmon said before, money makes problems go away easier. "Normal job" problems being more threatening than your streamer problems, makes you guys running defense for Hasan with a response like " he ONLY said streaming DOES produce social stress and everyone is acting like it doesn't" even MORE disingenuous ( you guys have a large amount of control over your social stress by CHOOSING whatever activities you do on stream, picking work hours, and having the privilege to remove toxic people from your job environment with bans and avoidance, most normal people do not have these things).
So it rubs normal people the wrong way when Hasan complains about being socially drained from one of the easier jobs in existence while being 1% and comparing it to social drain from normal and less paid job.
You guys refusing to acknowledge Hasan saying "streaming is more draining than any real job (except customer service and retail?)" while at the same time, twisting his words to mean the opposite and saying he doesn't mean he said is gross.
But thats not what asmon and tectone said. Asmon already said in his stream that if hasan meaned it that way then it is wrong. You're fighting ghosts
No, that's not what he said, you are shadow boxing like a freak.
streaming is more socially draining than most jobs except customer service/retail. id agree with that , im not a streamer but entertaining thousands of ppl a day has got to be horrible. I dont understand the minority moaning about a streamer saying clear facts. I assume they are just angry someone with so much money and a good job (albeit socially draining) job is complaining about their job which is understandable. but fk me people taking it way to far lol
@@reviewani6253 if asmon said somewhere that if hasan meant it that way he is wrong fair enough.
also asmon saying making a lot of money makes it easier for problems to go away was in one of his past videos and true. So complaining about some problem than can be easily reduced and mitigated with low repercussions compared to "normal job problems" and tectone stating that hasan said "streaming is JUST AS socially draining as other retail jobs," when hasan had originally said "streaming is MORE socially draining than normal jobs except retail" is what rubs and will rub people the wrong way. Not only did tech change what originally people were calling hasan out for, they are seemingly running EXTRA hard defense when it was clear that hasan saying that originally was stupid.
11:08 Techto legit said he just got done talking about It for 2 hours, how can they agree when Hissan 🐍 LITERALLY said “streaming is the most taxing job in the world” lmao

Tectone, you can volunteer a few hours a week at your local, Humane Society. You can ask to be trained to help with the post-op. You help them waking up after surgery, a lot of spades and neuters. I did for a while, it was enjoyable. I am allergic to cats, but man did I love playing with the nice ones, until I couldn't breathe.
He will not, since he makes money and thats all that matters. People actualy dont give a fuck about animals and other humans.
"I've decided that 95% of people who have autism just decide they have autism. They self-diagnose."
Self-diagnosing is completely valid given that autism is a spectrum.
Personally I feel autism is kind of like sensory overload and you learn to develop coping mechanisms. Autistic people perceive a lot more from others and from their surroundings. When I was a child, other people used to be very scary. I also perceived a lot of things from all sorts of objects or places, which had a certain energy and vibe to it that I can't describe.
This is why it's difficult for autistic people to make eye contact because they immediately "take in" a lot of information the person's gaze is conveying, that most people don't perceive. It also makes it hard to understand initially what someone is telling me because I'm immediately struck by all the "noise" that their body language and eye contact is telling me.
They have to be trolling. There's alot to complain about when it comes to be a streamer for sure. I've worked in alot of different areas and the thing I've found is that the best situation is a job where you make enough to pay your bills while still having a social life, you guys have all the free time in the world compared to the average American.
Got to understand they are completely disconnected from your everyday person/worker.
@shiroikin no I agree. That's kind of the point of the comment. They have no idea what they are talking about.
The thing about free time when you're your own boss is that free time means you're not getting any money, period. Yeah though, when you're a millionaire you can just not work and be fine for a good while.
streaming for sure has its negative points. No doubt about it. You are a business and you do lose money if you don't stream, but it's not like owning a business that sells product or a service. As a streamer, you can easily take a week off and recoup any losses because your more than likely not paying overhead on storage space, industrial electricity, employee benefits on a mass scale, etc.
Which brings me back to my main point, they have it good and it really sucks they don't see that.
you would have to be a complete retard who does not deserve money to not manage to life off one mil for the rest of your life@@stryfer1989
6:00 but we're not talking about all streamers here, we're talking about hassan who is in the top 1% of streamers
Why does this matter?
@@AsirIset because that's the whole reason for this drama? a top 1% streamer is saying his job is worse than "normal" jobs.
@@NemoN0body No, that is not what he is saying. In fact he has consistently said the exact opposite.
@@AsirIset are we talking about hassan here?
@@NemoN0body Nope. Hasan.
Next time I talk to a blind person I'll complain to them how much it hurts to stare into the sun
Ignorance is a virtue
idk man, i feel like they're taking hasan words more out of context, than people in the comments, completely ignoring what they're implying
if he just said, how draining is for him streaming for 9 hours, noone would care, but he had to compare to other jobs, basically implying it's MORE soul sucking than those jobs, which is not true, because EVERY job, either physical, mental, social or whatever, can be just as or even more soul sucking than streaming, and obviously when you consider tons of perks coming with streaming, that give you a lot of flexibility to lead your life however the hell you want, this statement gets even more ridiculous
other thing is, when you like your job and are passionate about it, it shouldn't suck the soul out of you, so maybe he just doesn't like doing it, and shouldn't be streaming, if it drains him so much?
about 0,1% streamers tectone is right, but i think in general we're mostly talking here about SUCCESSFUL streamers, he says often people go full in as a streamer without back up plan, that's just dumb and these people shouldn't be taken as an example for this conversation, because it's like a dude without experience, manual skills, school or anything, would start let's say a carpentry business
he has no idea how to do it, has absolutely no experience, noone knows him and fails miserably, such people shouldn't be even considered carpenters, similar thing goes for streamers, until you gain a steady viewership and income, you're just not there yet and can't be considered a professional streamer
and we're not talking about only millionaires, streamers with small audience even if they make money comparable to regular jobs, have still easier job, because they have a small and loyal fanbase, just chilling there, no stalkers, judgment from thousands and all other downsides of being a streamer, that hasan or anyone involved in this conversation was talking about
Also I find it ironic that Tectone speaks for the smaller streamers that struggle with streaming but Asmon had a video where he shits on smaller streamers for disagreeing with him when he was defending Hasan. Man literally said "You're not even on the same level" and then he goes on to emphasize that people should be more empathetic but goes on to perpetuate that same toxic behaviour he was going on about artists and game devs when he called them pussies and that no one cares. You can see it when he responded to Preach and Aba.
Classic rules for thee but not for me
I'd respond the same way. I give out what I'm giiven- if you're bein a disengenous asshole Im not going to be nice to you in return- I will however say that it should be a nicer interaction- but the straemers you watch aren't entitled to take disrespect with a smile, I fully expect them to slap back while saying that it'd be more beneficial if we were cordial.
@@ElfpireEva Respond to what slap? Asmon literally wasn't even the one people were upset at and he certainly wasn't the one people had been complaining to with regards to the whole art drama until he touched on it in his stream. He puts forth an insult to game devs and artists calling them pussies and said " to shut the fuck up, no one cares how hard your job is" but when a big streamer peer like Hasan is met with criticism about complaining about his job it's suddenly "Oh yeah I don't think people should be toxic like this" Like why say that when you perpetuate that same behaviour to a different set of people? Also it's kinda funny how in the first 5 seconds of Asmon's first video on this topic he outright says the solution to not make streaming soul draining, simply stop and rest. That's it. He can choose his own hours and rest whenever he wants to and the same goes for Hasan. They choose to do it the hard way and then complain about how shit is hard which would have been fine but it was clear from the get go Hasan was comparing it to regular jobs. Asmongold merely says it to us what he interprets Hasan meant to say but that's not even on people for going off of what Hasan said. Aba n Preach said it best how people don't know him like Asmon does and it's not their fault they can't read his mind when he supposedly misspeaks.
😂 the censore beeps in the first ad are gold
For me, I was also an army brat and had to move a lot and I’ll admit that it caused way more harm for me than good. Everyone is different though. I’ve been to three states. Ten schools and twelves homes. It also caused me to be outcasted and bullied in some schools too because being the new kid is not easy if you come in the middle of the school year. Never being able to keep friendships and constantly living with the fear as a kid that you might move again, so why even bother build relationships? Everyone is different again, it was just a very negative experience for me and I wish I would’ve grown up in a smaller town with the same people my whole life because long friendships have always meant more to me than short lived ones.
Exactly, teccy says it like its like that for all of you (provably doesn’t mean it like that though) but of course, that only works if you are or have predisposition to be naturally extroverted and outgoing
@@Strongest_under_heaven Well he was speaking from his own experiences,and not for everyone else's, so I also don't think he meant it like that either. Some people like moving and that's good on them, but for some others.. It can be traumatizing.
These big streamers could half their hours and still be well off. But they WANT to stream then moan about it being socially draining.
Why can't they say it's hard though?
Any job is hard, literally jobs that are completely easy, you are not putting any effort into them.
Now comparing to other jobs, clearly streaming is easier. But it's only easy if you are at the top 1% or 0.1%. Being just a normal streamer who is not a part of that 1 % is definitely not as lucrative, and that's why people normally do streaming as a side gig or a passion project.
Asmon never said streaming is easier, he said it can be hard but is clearly not more difficult than almost any other job.
If they did that they won't be the big Stramers
No you misunderstand, all that was being said is it’s a social job, so it’s socially draining. Period. Don’t listen to clip chimps and haters. Also hasan in particular isn’t just playin games for 8 hours like a normal streamer
Also hasan in particular was literally saying drama baiters and psycho haters make it tough for him, then he was clipped out of context lmfao proving his point literally
@@Ishaan_Athey didn’t say it’s hard they said it’s harder than any other job but they are just back tracking this episode
It's crazy how you can be an adult and not know how to properly wash yourself
Asmon, as a huge fan, I just gotta say - you don't have to be correct on every single debate. This whole "job difficulty tier list" thing is simply an unwinnable argument. It's far too complex and nuanced, for the majority of us, it impacts all of our everyday lives. So why not just bring on guests on stream, host panels, turn topics like this into open discussions? You can farm content, maybe gain some new perspective, and everybody wins.
no one is doing a job difficulty tier list, did you even listen to them? they’re just saying its socially draining, which is true, and people are spinning it into some crazy shit to farm drama
That's just who he is. There are people who will never back down from things, and he's just one of those people
W comment
@@mwalter98If you follow Asmon's stream, this podcast is only the latest bit of a much bigger, uglier ongoing debate with Asmon. He's received negative pushback/downvotes from his fans over his recent takes on careers/jobs and their overall "difficulty."
So yes, Asmon has directly referred to a "job tier list," multiple times, on stream. There's a lot of history and context here - check out his latest videos if you're curious.
The bigger point is this - we love to hear Asmon talk about games and stuff he's passionate/knowledgeable about. He is a smart guy - like I said, I'm a fan.
But this specific topic is very sensitive, complicated, and it's easy to sound out of touch if you start making generalizations about people and their careers. Especially if you're a multi-millionaire playing video games for a living, and speaking confidently about everyday people and their job situations. It's objectively a bad look.
Asmon could gain credibility by bringing on fans with everyday jobs: construction workers/contractors, plumbers, fast food folks, nurses/medical staff, retail employees, maybe even work-from-home people, etc. - and having an honest, open discussion about people and their careers. There is literally no downside to this idea. Asmon could become more educated about what people actually do and gain some perspective, and the fans would get a chance to voice their opinions - most of us with jobs DEFINITELY have opinions.
Asmon is also excellent at interviewing people, so you know it would be fun to watch.
dude, but he is always right!!!! /s
*gives take*
"if you disagree you're just stupid"
nice ...
yeah this is why I dont even bother watching any of these peoples actual streams since its a coinflip if youll get banned or not hah..
He always does this hes a fkn idiot
It's understandable if you don't think you're stupid when you are stupid, it's a hard pill to swallow
The whole "streaming is one of the most stressful jobs" discussion only started because streamers don't think their job is recognized as being hard or stressful when comparing it to other occupations. Which is ironic, because the whole point of streaming is to be recognized. In reality, no one cares how hard or stressful your job is, regardless of what you do.
Especially when you can make millions talking into a mic and looking at a camera in your home making your own hours and so on. Idk if I'd ever give up my school custodial job for something soooo difficult sounding as that.
57:38 earlier he says streaming can be hard and now he’s saying he does nothing in a day lol, loads up TH-cam and watches whatever is on. So hard
That's hypocrisy in full view. Streaming is what ever fits the argument best Armon is trying to make.
Exactly. But nah bro, you're just MAD according to him. lmao
7 months later and the temperature here is way hotter than normal.
Must've been very soul sucking to make this one and a half hours podcast episode just sitting and talking than working at a real job
yes you are correct
you have a harder life. no one will ever struggle on a daily basis as much as you
true and real brotherman
Damn you're still malding?
and not one of them said this , ever... but you clearly didnt listen to anything.
Do you not realize it's people like you that makes it soul sucking? Imagine having to deal with thousands of idiots talking at/or about you nonstop.
It's like serving. The job itself isn't hard. But dealing with idiots is what makes it hard.
As a Brazilian, it's always good to hear a first world millionaire complain about how sitting in a chair all day playing video games and talking shit is an extremely difficult "job". hehe XD...
@43:50
Even if you presented kids with empirical evidence that the majority of "school friends" are just proximity relationships, 99% of them won't possess the emotional maturity to recognize the truth.
I love how Techtone is so unaware of himself sometimes lol
He's an idiot.
No one wants to come home from a hard day at work and hear some nepo baby complain about screaming at his chat and lying to his viewers for 12 hours
7:38 not to mention imagine mopping up come and hearing asmon say this just not intelligent
Tectone's point about only the top streamers making a living is not an argument against what people are saying. No one is saying they just want to be ABLE to stream; obviously anyone can do that. Tectone's point is serving the opposite purpose to what he is trying to claim because people aren't talking about streamers with a couple of viewers that do it as a hobby, they are talking about that tiny percentage of streamers at the top who are also the ones making claims about how difficult it is. The small streamers who don't make any money aren't the ones we hear complaining because we don't hear from them at all.
The thing that stuck me the most, was when one of asmons only examples of ‘streaming being difficult’ was him relating to his fathers health and finding it difficult looking after him. Try caring for a parent working ‘an easy’ 9-5. Lmfao. Try looking after a parent when you literally don’t have the option to just not turn up to work that day, because you’ll incur excess absences and potentially face dismissal. Never mind working for pennies and worrying you won’t be able to pay your mortgage. Fucking delusional. So out of touch it’s insane
The people at the top got there by taking on more responsibility and difficulty. OBVIOUSLY. If it makes you mad when they express that, it's a problem with YOU. Maybe you should work harder.
@@AshleyCarter699 First of all, nothing you said is relevant to my comment. I simply pointed out the flawed reasoning behind what Tectone said. He made an objectively false argument by failing to recognize that people were specifically talking about successful streamers so the fact that most streamers are unsuccessful is irrelevant.
Furthermore, streamers just don't gain success by "taking on more responsibility and difficulty", they can only be successful if they gain a large enough audience, and luck plays a very large role in that process. There are countless people who try to make a career with streaming and there are no doubt many who don't succeed in spite of being just as hard working and competent as those at the top. Even they understand that luck plays a tremendous role in attaining success in what they do, which is why they always tell people that it's not wise to get into it and expect to have a career.
@bunklypeppz This is pure cope, luck doesn't mean anything unless said person knows what to do with that luck and can take advantage of the opportunity. People at the top undeniably take on more responsibility and difficulties, trying to argue this is delusional.
@@AshleyCarter699 You're the delusional one. No one is saying that being successful doesn't involve taking on some kind of responsibility; the point is that such "responsibilities" are a minor price to pay for the success that comes with it. Most popular streamers/youtubers didn't even gain their initial success on purpose, they simply did it because it was something they liked to do until it started to become a viable source of income.
There are countless people who would be happy to take on such responsibility, but that willingness or even ability is NOT what makes a streamer successful. Luck is the #1 factor in achieving success in such a profession. People who COULD be successful are a-dime-a-dozen on twitch, youtube, etc. Most of them simply never gain the momentum to be successful-- they are literally at the mercy of the platforms' algorithms to even be discovered by most viewers, as well as countless other factors that could prevent an otherwise competent streamer from acquiring an audience.
I quit my job two years ago with thoughts of streaming. I’ve been playing video games for two years straight, but still can’t get around to the streaming part.
I am sensing a pattern here. Tectone "have you the video about...", Asmon "Which one?" 😂
Missing the point of why people are mad. Talking to people for 8 hours straight is draining, fucking duh. The reason people are mad is being dismissive of "normal jobs"
I can’t take Tectone seriously ever since he said “I can’t wash dishes” no you just don’t want to…
dude these ads are gold!
Bruh it's so easy to fucking just sit there and complain how people are idiots... Oh they are just mad they don't hear the rationality....
Streaming and shit talking like this is the easiest thing ever...
Then do it lol
@@godpopWhere you do you think all those streamers and youtubers are came from? everyone's a streamer these days.
7:26 What's damaging is the streamers that hit a stroke of luck after going all in on streaming urging people to do the same, which you see pretty often.
Thank god Emi is at least grounded lol
I can confidently say I used to want to stream, but this day in age, absolutely not. Keeping an attention span would be absolutely draining.
You keep comparing streaming to white collar jobs. Try comparing it to some blue collar jobs. I would love to see a lot of these streamers attempt to do the job i had for 8 years doing skilled labor climbing, lifting, and crawling. The streamers that are capable of doing blue collar jobs or have in the past arent participating in this conversation for a reason.
Really enjoyable episode! Thanks y’all for taking the time to record
5:51 - Kind of a dishonest point to make considering that simply by pressing "live" you can't exactly be a fulltime streamer instead of working a job. We're talking in the context of jobs here, and so therefore it would have to be at least have to come with a somewhat sustainable income, otherwise it's simply a hobby. In fact it's hard to even start streaming, as you'd have to make ridiculous hours to even get to the top percentage, while working a fulltime job at the same time. Only ways to do it is making like 80-90 hours a week which isn't sustainable, be a student so have a lot of free time aka start early, or having enough savings aside to risk it, which would require a lot of sacrifice as well with anything but a guarantuee. When people are referring to "I'd rather be a streamer, it's under the assumption that they'd make the same amount of money they currently do working their "real" job.
Yeah the debate about "harder" jobs needs to be had for equivalent pays... otherwise you are not comparing how hard a job is to do you are comparing how hard a job is to get... otherwise by that logic being a trust fund child is the hardest because it's impossible to be one unless you were born into wealth.
Some people would be happy with making min wage or the area between most popular and not seen. Some people are smart with their money and could make a good living off of a "small salary" streaming. Or doing anything they like. The balance between making money and doing something you enjoy for money/to make a living is something everyone should think about more. Being miserable, even if it means you're making a lot of money, to me, isn't always worth it. It's not all people complaining because they think it's easy, but yes there will be learned experiences and bad times that would probably change 75% of people's minds who think they would rather stream, or the amount of ppl that assume there's just some fast track. Which, tbh, there probably is if ppl really set out to do it and devote all their time to knowing what makes it work. It's like anything with enough time, devotion, and luck... you can make it happen. Everyone just gets in their cycles of shit and the things you hear ppl parot gets old. You're probably right though most ppl wouldn't rather trade their life to stream, even if they don't have much going for them.😮
Can we stop getting the Tectone under shorts cam shots.
I'm sure he doesn't want to show that for free
I don't subscribe to patreon because I think streamers have it too easy.
This podcast is the embodiment of thank God its Friday. Thank you for making my Fridays at work that much better!
11:00 Tectone ruined the point he was making right there. There's a difference between a JOB and a career/hobby. Running an animal shelter isn't often viewed as a Job, even by the employees working there because it's their passion. If you do what you love, it's not a Job, you're following your dream and making money in the process. A 9 to 5 job isn't a passion, it's a means to an end. No one would rather work a Job vs working on their passion if both made the same amount of money. Even if Hassan is considering streaming as a Job and not his passion, people would obviously rather do that because he makes MORE money than a typical 9 to 5, meaning the "end" of the "means to an end" comes a lot quicker, but also because typically streamers get to choose their own hours. It's not like streamers HAVE to stream 5 days a week, 8 hours a day or risk losing their income. How many streamers take a month long or year long break and come back to an audience? a lot of them. Pokimane has taken many breaks and is bigger than she's ever been before despite trying to sell overpriced cookies to her obviously gullible audience. You can't do that at a 9 to 5.
So while Hassan is free to consider streaming as a Job he doesn't enjoy or socially drains him, to the masses it's exactly what Asmon said "no one wants to go to the hairdresser and hear them complain about cutting hair". This is literally the plot of numerus superhero comics like Superman, where Superman complains about having powers and not being like everyone else and the people around him get kinda annoyed because the world views him as someone whose better than them. Usually ending in the classic "with great power comes great responsibility" speech and while I won't say that's true, I will say that you have to recognize your privilege. I'm sure if Hassan went and worked an ACTUAL 9 to 5, back breaking, soul sucking job right now, for a month, he'd go crawling back to streaming in a heartbeat. It disrespects and spits in the faces of those less fortunate in life, even when you're completely justified in your opinions, the unfairness of the world balances everything out. It's unfair in the eyes of the poor that you're rich with "arguably" less work. So in fairness, you're not allowed to complain. You can't have your cake and cry about it too. "Socially draining", yeah sure, my little sister's first job at Walmart had some karen calling her "an ugly bitch who'll never get a husband", TO HER FACE, all because she asked the woman not to hold the line up because she was texting on her phone and was distracted, she cried for the entire night after coming home and didn't want to go back to work but had to because if she didn't she'd be homeless. Streamers got people sending text messages that can be blocked within a second.
(though i will acknowledge the fact that live events can be very socially draining for streamers and even dangerous for certain streamers, specifically controversial and female streamers, obviously stalkers and assholes are a thing but streamers have more power to deal with that than say a girl working at a fast food chain who happened to attract a really unhinged coworker who ended up stalking her to the point of murdering her (real story), aside from a few smaller content creators, i've yet to hear of this happening to any big streamer, with the closest being amouranth which may or may not have been a huge OF marketing ploy to begin with)
If it causes you stress, you have the right to complain about it. Just because you choose to do something doesn’t mean you have no right to ever feel upset, annoyed, etc. Can musicians and artists not complain because they have tons of fans and money? No, of course not. You people just want something to get upset at because you can’t do something better with your own life. Just because someone works harder or more hours than you doesn’t make your suffering any less than. Everyone’s struggles and stresses are valid and saying that streamers and such shouldn’t complain because they don’t work a 9-5 and it’s a “choice” is hypocrisy.
@@G0dspeed101
"even when you're completely justified in your opinions, the unfairness of the world balances everything out."
thank you for reiterating the point I already made.
I think that anyone who thinks that millionaires dont have problems or go through hard times are so far removed from society that they just want to bitch. Anyone can go through hard times and how much money you have doesnt determine how happy you are
It absolutely does. You are the one removed from socienty if you think money doesnt bring happines. I would rather cry while having money to eat, in a house. Dont know about you.
No, I actually get it. Being a streamer is actually difficult. You people just don't understand. They have to constantly think of the next video to react to. They might even occasionally have to play a game! But by far... the hardest part is trying to stay out of sexually charged situations with minors.
please tell me this entire comment is a joke
millionaire assmongler
H.amas P.iker is a G.rifter who is a M.illionaire who pushes S.ocialism to his C.hildren Viewers. Why do they defend him?
The conversation from 43:00 I think Asmon is right. When you’re in primary school That kinda thing matters ALOT ! Moving schools can be massively disruptive to a child’s well-being and development. Especially if it’s out of your control and you have no agency on where to go.
I'd have to disagree with Tectone at 6mins in because I would easily choose streaming over my current job for the same pay I'm making at my current job. no need for the excessive money
True
Real
so you agree with him..? he was literally trying to make a point that there's not a lot of jobs that people would choose over being a streamer because it's not that demanding
I’m 26 and started playing games at 4/5 years old with random rpg games and the sims and continued with wow until high school so it’s kind of crazy to hear that’s when Emi started playing games online! I try to watch every episode, love the honesty all around guys ❤😊
It's funny to see asmongold frame the viewers opinions as completely emotional when the logical argument is that streaming is a Hobby turned job. This jobs are not draining to the same degree as regular jobs which are mandatory for the working class to survive.
The worse part of this controversy is that asmongold is defending a nepo baby, like hasan. In some ways asmon is the same though, payed off home and supporting parents letting him do whatever. Most of us were working by 16 or by 18 and being unemployed past that age was reason enough for us to be kicked out.
Asmongold out here breaking records on not letting sh1t go
he wasnt the one who brought it up… do you guys watch the podcast before you comment???
@@pajamas_738 Your to gullible for the Internet .
Streaming seems great, but there's no way I'd wanna talk nonstop for 8~+ hours a day.
In general sometimes it's good to have a back up plan, going all in is great- when you can afford it.
I went seriously with art for most of my life but had 0 back up plan, I'm a former foster kid so no safety net etc. I did have some success but I wasn't expecting the massive boom of AI in recent years. I think having some sort of backup plan is extremely important especially if you spend years at something without much results, or if it's an extremely risky or highly competitive career you're trying to break into.
The category isn't "streaming" it's "being your own boss."
The problem is Hasan, a top streamer that makes millions of dollars is crying about talking for 9 hours. He has control of his stream. If I was already a .01% streamer, I wouldn't be crying to my viewers. If he's socially drained, guess what? TALK LESS and don't interact with dumb viewers! If a streamer with a low viewer count is crying about how draining it is then I would be like "yeah, you're trying hard to grow your channel but it's not growing. Must be exhausting to grind to grow and maintain your viewer base". Tectone is the one that missed the point lol
Tectone looks like he just came from or is going to a pool party.
Truly a menace to society right there.
I'll never forgive Asmongold for convincing me to buy Diablo IV, never trust the sponsors
thats rough man
He didnt get sponsered lmao. Blizzard wouldnt sponser him. Asmon talks so much shit about blizz. Including d4.
he liked it when it first came out, because it gives a really good impression. But then after he played a long while, he ended up seeing it wasnt as good as he thought it was, like many people.
Just because a big streamer or youtuber likes a game, doesnt make it sponsered.
As a new content creator, I hope the impression that's given toward myself and my channel isn't that of an easy out from working. I've worked my whole life and finally have the ability to create what I want to and spend my time as I wish for myself and my family
Not at all, i think if anyone extended that whole issue to EVERY content creator except Hassan and the top 1% of streamers defending his take is an idiot. Content creation is a real job that now is a really competitive and thought market. The hole drama was about Hasan saying this and devaluing normal peoples work experience. No one sane would claim that starting off on You tube or Twitch without being known before is easy.
@@loskamykos truuuu
The cold hard truth is... For TH-cam... New Content Creators who don't hit big will often work years with zero Ad Revenue. That's the truth of the majority and how TH-cam is.
Not sure about Twitch but making content on TH-cam is not easy, financial wise.
Nah, the problem is that both hasan an asmongold are nepo babies talking down to the working class. Hasan comes from a wealthy family and got opportunities to carve his niche thanks to his uncle cenk. While asmongold had financially stable parents paying his warcraft subscription and gave the opportunity to stream and make warcraft content as an unemployed young adult.
Teccy: "I'm so proud of you for showering, Asmon. Did you notice his skin complexion looks better, Emi?"
Emi: "Huh?"
Fishing for compliments failed. 🤣
OK, at this point it's actually frustrating. The hole point people got mad at Hasan is very simple. He said and i quote:
"yes, a real job can be gruesome a real job can make you very tired but a real job doesn't suck the soul out of you, you know what i mean? In the same way that 9 hours of streaming absolutely will." And then added "no no no no no no, social battery wise unless you're in retail, unless you're in f*****g retail. It's very different. You're out of touch"
There are 2 aspects of this problematic to say the least statement.
1. The source of that comment. It's a multi millionaire streamer, a react streamer, a "watch my chair and the video playing in the background that someone else made" streamer, a political SOCIALIST MULTIMILLIONER streamer that made that comment. And HE was the only one criticized, at least to the point that You started to defend him, missing the actual context of the backlash.
2. Devaluing peoples experiences. He just took every single job (except retail) and basically said "socially draining wise its not as bad as mine". The EGO behind that statement is massive. Especially coming from someone Young and without a lot of actual job market experience. Just go and google job stories, encounters with bosses and co workers. There are full TH-cam channels dedicated to workforce experiences, the abuse, inhumanity, labor law braking, lawsuit pending experiences people have on daily basis, and You will see people frustration with this topic.
And then You have Tectone saying "what they mean is they would rather be a streamer in the top 1%". Well no shit, it was the top 1% streamer that made that comment and now You are deluding Yourself thinking that everyone is stupid except You when Your obviously in defensive mode thinking everyone is diminishing Your work and experiences.
You are really dumbing down the initial people's reaction. I get it there was a lot of comments, and a lot of dumb ones too but You really are missing the point.
TLDR: The whole issue is that Hassan instead of saying " i feel incredibly socially drained after 9 hours of streaming" said "job wise i am more socially drained than any one of YOU (except retail workers....)". You really don't see an issue with that ?
This exactly I'm losing my mind at how are they not seeing this, makes me think they're doing it on purpose at this point for the sake of winning an argument
I wish Emi would give the guys some room to speak every now and then
I feel you tectone I've had friends/gf's in the past with a similar experience of moving a lot during there youth and not having that group of friends you always grew up with. I've been blessed to have grown up around some pretty great people but there a lot of those friendships that also faded into nothing and are just a memory of the past now. You cant recreate those relationships esxactly but you make new ones that are just as meaningful. :)
5:15 is so disingenuous bro. Nobody was mad they were complaining about their job. From an outsiders perspective who doesn't necessarily care one way or another cause this is all new to me, they were mad because the streamers compared what they do to what normal people do and then said it was harder. I heard the phrase "More socially draining than" more than once in all this ridiculousness.
Everyone says “I wanna be a streamer?” but not “can I be streamer?”.
You have to realize if you’re entertaining or not, whether or not you can sit for hours making something out of nothing. Unfortunately most people cant, most can’t entertain. Remember you’re not entertaining yourself, you’re entertaining others, so sitting there playing not talking or anything is boring for the viewer. You have to have an expressive personality. Remember they’re not watching you because the game, they’re watching the game because of you.
Another topic, every job is hard in its own way. For example, construction maybe more physically draining than socially draining, but an office job may not be a physical draining, but is socially draining.
braindead streamers dont know what jobs are lmao
Used to love this podcast, never missed an episode. I can't click off the video quick enough once someone starts eating and talking. It's just the boomer in me thinking it's rude as fuck.
No dicktone, if i could get paid the same as i get at my retail job but instead to stream i would. It doesnt have to be top %
