I was just thinking about this the other day. For example, I used to follow F1nn5ter. I liked his whole schtick. The “Stop Making Me Dress Like A Girl Dammit!” was fun in the beginning. A few times I contemplated sending a funny paid message, but never did.
He has obviously gone through some major changes since then. And I’m happy he’s figuring his shit out. Even has an amazing girlfriend.
But I don’t understand people who still send him 100 dollar dono’s anymore. I mean His Only Fans is estimated to be pulling in 250K a month. He owns two houses and just recently purchased a Maybach (probably used, but still)
He has come right out and said he only streams on twitch because he want’s to, not because he needs to.
So I’m just curious if any of you follow or donate any big streamer?

The only thing I’ve “paid” to a streamer is the free monthly Prime sub, usually to a smaller streamer. I’ve bought merch from a couple Youtube channels before also, but that’s about it.
Does critical role count? Though, I now subscribe to their Beacon streaming service instead of their Twitch account
“I mean His Only Fans is estimated to be pulling in 250K”
FUCKIN WUUUUTT??? Legit whores don’t make 250k a month. The fuck is this dude doing on camera that’s better than actually getting your dick sucked?
It’s about quantity, not quality. A prostitute can see, let’s say, 10 people a day. Someone on OnlyFans can stream to a million people simultaneously
It’s the whole “taboo” thing with him. In the beginning his chat “forced” him to dress as a female. then he looked into OF since he knows a few people who were/are in the adult business and was told how much they make. I assume the quotes he was getting were enough to peak his interest, so he started an OF. In the beginning it was him just wearing scantily clad clothing, (showing bulge etc.) But he met and is now dating a trans Girl who does OF and he started posting more nude content. According to him when he posted his penis, it was “The biggest OF subscription boost he’d ever gotten.”
It’s mostly just him posting nudes now, with the occasional team up with his girlfriend or other “trans/femboy” creators. I assume he’s start doing hardcore stuff sooner or later and then once he’s made his money he’s retire and live a quiet life.
I don’t follow anyone that closely, but at best, I might buy merch. I would never donate money to a streamer. If others have enough to share with strangers in the Internet, good for them, but I have kids to feed.
I subbed to Jerma for a long time on twitch and bought merch when he was more active and gave a couple dollars to Callmekevin when he streamed.
The cool thing about donating is they respond to your message if they arent a dick that just has a tts going 24/7. For example Jerma didnt really push donating he just enjoys reading chat and I actually got my message read once by him. I feel like using tts is a cheap and soulless copout of interaction that most suckers feel they get value out of just because it was shown or heard on stream.
I don’t donate anything but I might buy merchandise. I think the people that do continue to donate are looking to get some sort of perk like a jump scare or some other silliness.
Donate the money to your savings account. Or at the very least, gift yourself something that actually retains some sort of value.
Small Patreon amounts here and there for niche channels. Never any to the big popular ones. I have also occasionally ordered merch.
I don’t even know who “big time streamers” are. I’m aware streaming is a thing, could not care less.

Not interested.
No
There are a few things that influence me not to.
-
Have you never been in a situation where you buy something expensive only to need emergency money and not have any? Have you never been in a situation where you have a notable interaction with a stranger but someone you know says “what about me”? Have you never seen bad economic outmaneuvering and look at the victims and just not want to be in the crowd of people who make it their modus operandi?
-
I’m a non-native in a land with strict economic/banking rules regarding communal establishment.
-
I’m not strictly what many would call a socialist, but many of the implications of, conceivably, money, just come off as peculiar to me, and I consider myself detached in a way.
-
I’ve never donated to a streamer. When I first started watching Youtube there wasn’t a way to process donations, so content creators were doing it for their own satisfaction. When streaming became an industry, I didn’t feel any obligation to change my way of using streams.
Nope. Only those starting up/getting by. I will sub to my favorite large streamer but no gift subs, points, etc.
No. I mainly subscribe to streamers to remove the ads, and the one exception is a smaller streamer.
Nope, I tend to hate watching streams in general.
I hate the whole “shout out” to people who donate money, it breaks the flow.
The fun streams I have watched is when the streamer does zero shout outs but ask the chat what they should do, no polling, just watching the live response in the chat.
i love the dougdoug ones for that
