Sorry I thought we were specifically saying if they were shooting for a number 1, it should be Elon Musk or bust.
I agree certain skills can be applied to other things, it's arguable what's more productive if we're talking pure bottom line with what top streamers are starting to make. I don't see Shroud being that great at many other things. That type. Hey, you have god like aim on a video game, and there are plenty of people like that...that I can't see making good execs or are very athletic in general.
I'm not saying many things kids look up to is a smart thing to bank on in the future, just that they are seeing more examples than ever before of it paying off and may think they can do it, despite not being entertaining, or any of the other things they need to actually even have a shot at succeeding at something like streaming.

Pretty sure they are not saying that. They are saying Reckful's decision was selfish, not that he didn't have the right to do as he wanted.

At the very least do the world a favor and use that weapon in a constructive way before you choose to exit.

My brother had a friend ( who I was friends with as well ) who was married and had a pretty little baby girl daughter. He was a manager of a business, made good money and had good friends. He was always coming over when we was working on the drag cars and he would hang out during the weekends and we did business with him during the week. He had a truck that he had put like 100 grand into that won competitions for it's ability to blow out windows from the bass it produced. He got in a fight with his wife about 17 years ago and blew his head off while in bed in front of his daughter who I think was 6 at the time. We had known him for years.
We didn't even go to his funeral. When I asked my brother why since he was much closer to him, his reply was he was dead to him, selfish piece of shit. He never brought him up again in the 4 years he lived.
As for Reckful, I've heard the name, but never watched him, probably because it said he was a WoW streamer which I played like 5 hours one time a decade ago.

If someone gets rejected by a love interest and then offs themselves afterwards that is an act of vengeance, a final "fuck you". Maybe selfish isn't the right word but it's a shitty thing to do and they don't deserve to be remembered fondly by the people they hurt.

Ya that was sort of his logic. It was 100% to spite his wife with some mental issues mixed in. The fact he did it in the same room as his daughter is why my brother struck him completely out of any respect after the fact. Maybe it is just how we was raised. My fathers father killed himself ( long before I was born ) and he always had the same beef to it. That is was a selfish quitting attitude. Then there is the whole sin thing which my family isn't into but I always was. Hell I still go to church twice a year.

When I was a senior in high school one of the guys in our crew came home drunk, got in an argument with his parents and blew his brains out. Just a dumb, drunk kid but his parents were never the same, obviously. Seeing the aftermath burned it into my psyche to never go out like that. Not in a million fucking years.

Had 2 of those in my HS years. I didn't see either but one was well described. Dude had rich parents and his HS GF dumped him. He skipped school and 12 gauge'd into his mouth. Was smart, varsity and had it made. Just somehow felt a high school gal was worth killing himself over. Sad thing is he could have probably dated any woman he wanted in school. 16 at the time. I was told the head from neck up splattered the whole room. Very stupid and for a stupid reason.

She never even saw the proposal before he killed himself. He was bipolar and probably going through a manic episode, the proposal was part of that episode and then he killed himself.

My old neighbor's ex did. Said she was going to kill herself if he didn't go over to her house. He called her "bluff", and she actually did. Dude was never the same after that. That was 4 or 5 years ago I think? Only time I saw that many police vehicles in the neighborhood too for that matter.

Of course I didn't mean everyone kills themselves, I just said if he was bipolar I give him a pass on any "suicide selfishness" because he's mentally ill.

From what I'm reading by the time she even saw the proposal he had already killed himself. Which is even more fucked up. It was just the trolling.

You're making it sound like 50 viewers is some sort of milestone a casual fun streamer can actually obtain.
On many games, that would make you a top 3 streamer and even on the top tier games with a hundred thousand viewers even now during offpeak that gets you into the first few rows of the list.
*this* is a screencap of the current LOL-index with 4 and 3 viewers. I can scroll down a lot more but the browser can barely handle this so I'm stopping here. Actually just three 4s and 3s (and not even all of them). There's a fuckload of 2s, 1s and 0s if I keep scrolling.
Notice the scroll bar on the right. This is a fuckload of streamers who are nowhere near that 50 viewer benchmark. ah crud now Chrome crashed.
That's the reality behind streaming yourself to success. It's even more visible than all those kids who didn't make it as a pro Football player or a pro Football player, because you can see them fail right now whereas the failed Football player plays and plays and plays and suddenly there's no followup contract and he's gone overnight.
50 viewers? You actually made it at that point.
