Saw this feature today on the news about "the UK's most successful female gamer" who makes a substantial income from playing games on Twitch.

I don't know how sustainable it is long term, but why begrudge people having some success?

I'm curious if people still get mad about "it's not a real job" or whether as a whole we're coming to accept these things as entirely viable entertainment mediums.

Why are you so angry? LOL

As far as I'm concerned, if they can make a living from it, then fair play to them.

I had to laugh at this though:

Success is why. That said, I still think it's asinine but not in the "I hate streamers" way. Can't really blame people for making money in a moderately easy way.

Not salty at all. If they can do it and get paid for it then congrats to them. It's as real a job as any other.

Plenty of people are bitter that some people can make a living doing things they enjoy, yes.
