Join me today. Playing classic titles from my youth. My hope is that some impossible dreams might manifest and I become recognizable and can make a living doing this. Mostly because I enjoy it.
But, I have run into some issues with other streamers. Streamers who have hit it big and really suffer the issues of fame. It's insane that now a days the internet makes bipolar hostility so easily and readily available. But, even more important there is no accountability. If you are not 100% on board with a game or a streamer; it is tantamount to heresy. You will be brutalized for thinking a game has gotten boring or has not lived up to expectations. My hope is that if/when I reach that point I will have the presence of mind to be aware if this is going on in my community. I would never endorse outright hostility to any views, outside of hate and prejudice of course.
This topic reminds me of a quote by one of my favorite thinkers, Thomas Jefferson, "Upon the altar of god, I pledge undying hostility to any government restriction on the free minds of men."
