Do any of you ever donate to big time streamers? (lemmy.world)

I was just thinking about this the other day. For example, I used to follow F1nn5ter. I liked his whole schtick. The "Stop Making Me Dress Like A Girl Dammit!" was fun in the beginning. A few times I contemplated sending a funny paid message, but never did.

He has obviously gone through some major changes since then. And I'm happy he's figuring his shit out. Even has an amazing girlfriend.

But I don't understand people who still send him 100 dollar dono's anymore. I mean His Only Fans is estimated to be pulling in 250K a month. He owns two houses and just recently purchased a Maybach (probably used, but still)

He has come right out and said he only streams on twitch because he want's to, not because he needs to.

So I'm just curious if any of you follow or donate any big streamer?

I subbed to Jerma for a long time on twitch and bought merch when he was more active and gave a couple dollars to Callmekevin when he streamed.

The cool thing about donating is they respond to your message if they arent a dick that just has a tts going 24/7. For example Jerma didnt really push donating he just enjoys reading chat and I actually got my message read once by him. I feel like using tts is a cheap and soulless copout of interaction that most suckers feel they get value out of just because it was shown or heard on stream.
