AoE Streamers are not your friends

[IYIyTh]

Some people on these boards have a warped sense of what financial freedom. They probably scoff at AOE2 tournament figures when the average global salary is about 20k.

i am your friend

"and for the low price of 5$/month you can receive these exclusive heartboi emotes!"

Wrong, Daut is actually my best friend

The Lord is a being of higher plane, I wouldn't dare to call myself, a mere mortal, his friend.

 

[blob is all you need]

xD so which is the problem?
a) the stream giving people an opportunity to have an online contact with a celebrity
or b) the viewer with a warped view of reality and unrealistic expectations?

2mil max is far more than enough to live on? 111111

EDIT: Maybe 3mil max, but thats still far far away from financial freedom.

EDIT2: Median of USA annual wage is 34k while average is 51k. 3m/50years =60k/year, and 3m is just an optimistic estimation.

you aren't even taking into account the time value of money. It would be completely trivial to generate ~$150k/year in income from simply having a $2million surplus barring global financial catastrophe

the weirdest thing is that you actually think this is an adequate response to my objection to your "analysis"

Most of HongeyKongey's posts are like that: wannabe smartypant.

Like everyone understands Net Present Value. But to sound smart, he's going to call it NPV so that plebs here don't understand what he is talking about.

Also, not just him. AoeZone full of people trying to sound so smart. Reminds me of some of my batchmates in the first year of college who'd deliberately do that to make others feel dumb and insecure.

The weirdest thing of all is the eugenicist with "stupidity is a crime" in his signature equating an estimated $3 million ~2 year contract with a $60k/year income for 50 years. Hint: the value of those 2 scenarios are not even remotely similar.

Gratz, youve just cracked the code of NPV

Hang on, what?

Mr. Hongeykong has a long history of advising aoezone posters he deems to be of below adequate intelligence to not sexually reproduce

I've heard that if you tier-3 sub or dono $10 or more the streamer is actually your friend. You should try it. For science.

I heard that it sometimes takes two or three tries so don't get discouraged early!

 

[Baron Icey Harkonnen]

Imagine raising one of our own to be a streamer and make money doing... NOTHING

You have raised these people up for doing very little. They didn't create a custom scenario that you could play. They didn't make a mod that was new and exciting.
They played the ****ing game on stream and you gave them money. OVER AND OVER

The real content creators are coming out. Streaming does JACK ****
Support real creators



And all this bullshit about "moving up"

I pay 1300$ a month to "live" that is fairly cheap..
Don't enable these ****ing people to live the lifestyle you want/

 

[Proctologist]

They are not my friends, but there is nothing wrong with that. To be fair, some of them are just way too sexually suggestive to be my friend.

 

[HongeyKong]

Btw speaking of investment... Whats the word before premium again?

Spoiler

EDIT: Screw it just to save time
-Theres the word risk before the word premium for a reason, you cant straight up assume someone outperforms the market consistently. Theres no magic portfolio, its a zero sum game after all.
-Same for the average andy, you cant just assume him underperforms or even receive zero pay raise through out the years.
-If spendings / savings are taken into account, then theres a different story, but 60k vs 3x -5xk is just a flat number to compare the two.

 

[DedlyYetti]

this post touched my heart so much that i uninstalled streamlabs, i don't want to give you guys the impression that im your friend XD

also, twitch prime? twitch prime?

 

[MrIster24]

Is the logic then that twitch streamers have no friends? Sadge.

Yes they're total losers just like the rest of us

I think all aoezone posters independent of intelligence should not reproduce? Am I a eugenicist?
