That's quite sad. As always, if they were disciplined enough, imagine the scale they would have with their base of people who follow and watch them. I am also happy for you to find a job afterward, as, in my opinion, gambling shouldn't be anyone's main source of income, it should be a hobby of sorts.
I completely agree with you, but there are still those professionals who have been able to do this for several years and still continue to earn good money thanks to this, because they can fully control themselves. I have been watching several such streamers for many years and they still earn very well, have families, travel and do not deny themselves anything. But as for me, I probably could not do the same.
Of course not only you, I myself am happy if I can make money consistently by gambling without having to step foot to go out but unfortunately it is impossible to make money consistently just by gambling. Unless you have skills like what you said by becoming a game streamer or others, because I think even though everyone can be said to be able to play games but not everyone can become a streamer who can really make money that way, because it takes unique skills to be able to attract many people, for example with interesting speech or others.
Those who become streamers and can make money I think not only in the game but maybe from the number of people who see it it becomes another advantage, and sometimes I also see news that those who do casino streamers work with the casino. Until there is another goal of all that is to attract many people to gamble at the casino played by the streamer. And of course not everyone can do this right, so there is no certainty that you can make money by gambling alone.
All this helps them to stay because the cash flows that come to them increase. Of course, you need to have at least minimal uniqueness to attract subscribers to yourself, and also have consistency, especially at the beginning, so that the algorithms work and offer regular users videos with a stream, and also the main thing is to farm a base of initial users who would come to each stream at least at first.
It turns out that a streamer who takes money from a casino and plays with it can essentially lose control of himself and break down. After which his gambling will become completely uncontrollable. And this is what can bring interest to broadcasts.
People will see live how his addiction develops. It looks like a reality show in which only the casino is necessarily in profit and safe. And gamblers and streamers still run the risk of falling into uncontrollable addiction.
But the thing is that no one from the audience will think about the casino, because everyone will imagine themselves in the place of this streamer. Because the same thing happened to them when they lost their deposit completely. This opportunity to look at the streamer from the outside and get to know yourself will show many how much this should not be done, the same thing happened to me.
