Can’t find the quote, but a similar vein when talking about Counterstrike pros. Basically if you have the question of “should I try to go pro” you already aren’t dedicated enough to make it.

Im a casual gamer
No. You have to be dedicated to this and push for years to maybe, just maybe make actual money. Not only do you have to be a gamer, but you also have to have a personality people like.

And talk about games critically, playing for personal enjoyment is different compared to playing for game reviews, walkthroughs ect. its a job now, not a hobby.

That’s not true. Plenty of personalities on YouTube just play games and provide it as an experience that others can follow along with. Granted, not all of them make much money, but a number of them at least make some supplementary income from it.

Ya thats fair. My comment came from my point of view which is channels like skillup and dunky, they work their asses off and have teams that cover breaking news and stuff. I used to watch a few streamers but would rather spend my time playing than watching, its just personal preference.
