  Like what… ego boost 🤨… some chick mentions your name in her stream and you get a hardon from it 🤨?

    You’re like me and poor but I’ve been around people with jobs and stuff who can afford to throw away money on things and they seem to really enjoy the transaction element to things.

    Like being able to use money to get what they want feels good to them because it kinda justifies their life being dedicated to making money. It’s different for different people but you see the ones who love to buy something others can’t have like five min in private video chat is exclusive so makes them feel special, or you get the ones who feel special by funding something for the group like reaching a target or funding a creator they like.

      I’m not poor and still think giving money for shout-outs is stupid. I don’t know who you talk to that you got that line of thinking.

      Yeah, but that’s still IRL… I would maybe pay for something like that IRL, but online… no, I don’t see the point.
