Up all night with a Twitch millionaire
Imo we should be lauding this brand new sector and the folks that made it in it. Twitch&#x2F;YouTube&#x2F;TikTok literally created a new kind of millionaire. Are we just upset we&#x27;re also not uber rich for playing video games all day? It&#x27;s the same with crypto, OnlyFans, and so on. It was the same in &#x27;99 with the dot coms.<p>Merely from an economic standpoint, it&#x27;s interesting to see who these new industries are displacing (since this is a zero sum game). I&#x27;m sure having zillions of dollars doesn&#x27;t make you happy, but there&#x27;s so much unwarranted hate here on HN for new ventures and disruptive industries, it&#x27;s kind of odd. It feels HN has become way more corporatist in the past few years -- everyone wants to work for FAANG, no one wants to do their own thing. &quot;If it&#x27;s popular, it must be bad&quot; is a pretty myopic view.
