Woke up to getting ratiod hard, lmao yeah its out of context but itd obviously a really shitty tweet. My point was that to stream Ultimate the way I did (12-16 hour days with a sleep schedule to favor US audience with no days off for a month straight, online only) was awful- https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1310011575617695744
And that to me, the work of doing that for a game you didn't enjoy (hated online) in front of thousands of people was far worse than working a minimum wage job 40 hours a week where I could turn my brain off _IF I WOULDVE GOTTEN PAID THE SAME AMOUNT_.

I definitely would not-
choose to work a minimum wage job for that wage, especially in america where both the working conditions and pay are straight up inhuman at times.

Overall I'm EXTREMELY lucky to be able to stream and create content as a job, and I really enjoy being able to do it.
But I do think it has its drawbacks like every job. Having to be in front of people every day and be constantly judged for everything you say can out of context be awful. If you add having to act entertaining for a game you dislike, it can be terrible.
This tweet was my B tho :)
Overall I made a real fucking shitty tweet, and I'm sorry. I'm very lucky to have any and all support to be able to be a content creator full time and I seriously think minimum wage jobs are awful and there NEEDS to be change.
Many people don't have a choice but to work minimum wage jobs to survive, and honestly it was really insensitive to compare them, especially during covid-19 where some people are struggling harder than ever.

Going to turn of twitter now because I'm avoiding 🏀 spoilers, peace :)
