    I find people in general are much more willing to part with their money than the big corps think. I’ll even go to the extent to say that we enjoy doing so. Just look at Twitch – tonnes of money are thrown at streamers because it’s fun and convenient, or at TikTok vendors selling useless stuff on live streaming. We just don’t like to be lied to and treated like cash cows.

      Amen.

      Flip side with twitch I saw a girl get gifted 500$. It was awkward as all get out because there’s a feeling you need to perform and you could see her struggling with what to do. Money makes things unduly complex and I don’t like it lol
