Comment on Inside the life of a 24/7 streamer: ‘What more do you want?’

I’m curious if she was interviewed over text or of she streamed it.

Also, why is she so alone? Can’t you have any friends over for board games while doing this?

It sounds genuinely fucked up.

probably because she doesn’t want to sell what’s supposed to be an intimate relationship for capital

  My guess is that even if she did, those friends wouldn’t want their intimate relationships sold for capital.

    I don’t think that’s true.
    
    I don’t think livestreaming your whole life is healthy or desirable, but I don’t see finding friends who are cool with it to be an obstacle. There are plenty of other Twitch streamers at the very least who are down with this stuff. And she lives in Austin. Why not have a couple of buddies to go on jogs with or play basket ball or cook with? I just don’t see how that would be hard to do.
    
    I don’t feel like this article answered my questions well.

I don’t want 500 people watching me play boardgames with a friend.
