You bring up a good point. What donation amount / ratio should entitle you the steamer poon? Asking for a friend.
None because its pathetic.

Does no one else find this whole dynamic/culture thats developing disturbing? People paying someone for basic social interactions and connections that just a few years ago no one in their right mind would have thought was something you could make money off of.

there will always be pimps to sell you drugs and ho's, and there will always be ho's showing titties and sucking dick. the only difference between 2018 and 1980 is the corner is now digital. The question you gotta ask yourself is, are you a pimp or a ho.

Lots of people spent way too much money on sexy hotlines like 15-20years ago, and that shit was more or less the same thing. A lot of people called there just to have someone to talk to. Probably has spread more though.

At least when you called there, that person talked to you and you only.

Spending 13 grand to get five minutes of her attention per hour you're watching? Insane.

Maybe that's the thrill? She's choosing you over thousands of other slobs. I don't know. Desperate, desperate people.

But which is sadder, nerds paying thousands to chicks trying to get some nudes or a waifu or whatever

OR

nerds paying thousands of dollars to other nerd streamers to get noticed?

It's the same old thing as patronizing Asian tea-houses and so forth. Twitch is low effort, high-tech, Geisha.

Hmm no idea why it did that.

Twitch has allowed betas to redefine what it means to be pathetic and a beta.

Although upon further inspection, guy denies it?



13k! Omg that's like 26 good looking escort girls in Paris.

Wouldn't the pimp in that equation be Twitch, and the donation middle men who take a cut of the subscriptions and donations? If I were to be anyone in this whole thing then I'd be that middleman. The millions I'd make off of lonely dweebs and titty streamers would have me rolling in poontang!

The circle of life, folks! :D

Amouranth knows her audience. Hiding the fact she is in a relationship helps maintain the illusion of "attainability", which drives the money.

Exactly this, it isn't anything new t its core...it is just an old thing taking a new form and involving a larger audience.

Right, but it's the blatant lying and claiming the opposite. "oh woe is the single me" aspect. most nerds don't need that. I bet 90%+ would still be fawning and assuming she was single even if she simply never brought up her love life. Hell when I was 19 in EQ and a "girl" simply talked to me in a friendly manner, I thought they liked me. I never sent/offered to send money but it still gave my mind that impression I had a chance.

I'm sure Amouranth would still have zero problems swimming in cash even if she just did the hair twirling usual bullshit and never bringing up being single or having a BF/Husband.

Hell I think STPeach does exactly this in the few minutes I've tried to stomach her stream (she's a total butterface to me, also) She's pretty blatantly had a male friend/boyfriend on stream and people still throw money at her for attention.

Well husband tends to act as a repellent, but boyfriend usually don't with some of the thirtiest motherfuckers out there. They think they can save the princess from the clutch of the evil "bad boy", that they'll see how much of a nice guy(unironically nice guy) they are and they'll break up and shit.

It's a bit like idols in Japan who can't have relationship since that basically kills their careers. They have to appear pure and available for the crazy fans. The fans spend thousands buying CDs(yes CDs in 2018) to get tickets for hand shaking events and shit. Shit's even scarier since a lot of the those idols are still teens and shit.

Banned for: offensive content - specifically, showing a black character in jail uniform

Too much realism?

The running joke is that Jake is gay because he hangs out with a different Asian chick every stream.
