I can’t imagine doing this to yourself. But I can see what leads people to do this. I’ve been streaming for a year now, but I’ve drawn a line where it is only during my off hours, and I keep weekends for myself. I do it during my hobby time.

The issue with our society is that we’re constantly supposed to min max everything. If you aren’t all in, your chances of success are lower. We see this manifest in various ways. For example, companies try to skip out on safety if they’re allowed to. People will take on multiple jobs. Without restrictions, some of us will push ourselves to our limits because we see no way out of our situations.

On the flip side, you see people just giving up. Like with the laying flat movement. Why play the game if you’ll never win?

I don’t really have a point to my ramblings. It’s just something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I’m not really sure what the solution is as the system is bigger than us. I guess this disfunction is just a symptom of a greater issue.
