  hassas is like early 30s and if we make the big big assumption he has $1m in actual savings

  Bro please Hasan was in the top 5 most hours watched on Twitch last year. Twitch leaks from 2021 (5 years ago when he was “smaller”) show he made $3 million just from ads, not even counting any other sponsorships or deals he had.

  And he’s got you out here thinking that he “might, just maybe, if we really stretch belief” have $1 million total net worth. It would be comical if it wasn’t so sad.

  This is exactly why streaming is so disgusting. You’re carrying water for a guy who is a multi multi millionaire because you have a parasocial relationship with him and think he’s your friend.

  1. The person in OP’s picture could retire today and never work again. So clearly it’s not “sucking out his soul” since it’s entirely voluntary.

  2. He’s also talking specifically about streaming which is the absolute lowest common denominator of online content. Like people just flip on OBS and record themselves playing games or eating or reacting to other content, literally just things they would be doing anyways even if they weren’t recording. No one is owed the ability to make money streaming and it’s hard to find a “real job” that provides less value to society than streaming.

  The global economy is definitely not being run by economists or anything particularly close to prescribed economic principles. Most countries are being run by some combination of authoritarian and/or populist governments whose economic policy is crafted to benefit either a small ruling class, or to win elections (voted on largely by people who don’t understand economics).

  The most obvious example of this is the United States, which is the single largest national economy, and which keeps instituting tariffs despite “tariffs = almost always bad” being one of the first and most foundational tenets of macro econ.

  The top level comment made a claim that Gen X is de facto the best. I just pointed out an observable fact that suggests otherwise. And then apparently my comment that Gen X is perhaps not actually better than every other generation then triggered you so hard that you had to comment calling it “bitching and whining because everything isn’t about [my unknown generation]”. Lol.

  You mean the statistically most pro-Trump generation, more so than even boomers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...📉⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DXY measures the US dollar against every other currency. So if the US dollar in isolation had a bunch of inflation (e.g. because the US government printed a ton of money), then that would be reflected in DXY.

  But if every major currency printed a ton of money at the same time, then DXY would not change because it’s only relative to other currencies.

  So it doesn’t calculate inflation directly, but it’s generally correlated with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...📉⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  SPY is up 3% YTD while DXY (which measures the value of a dollar) is down 9% YTD. If you own shares of SPY, then you hold them in dollars, so the real change in value of your stock is [share price] x 1.03 x 0.91, which translates to being down over 6%.

  BUT not only is your investment value down, if you live in the US you presumably get paid in dollars as well. Which means you’ve gotten a 9% pay cut since the start of the year.

  Low-key they kind of are just because of security through obscurity. Modern scammers are too busy with new stuff like crypto and phishing, and can’t be bothered with faxing.
