I think some of the posts are a little ridiculous. Broken has had this thread up since 2015 so accusing him of being lazy is somewhat ridiculous. He also has no obligation to stream unless you guys are donating and subscribing at a reasonable rate.

A lot of the posts are haters or trolls but some are just sincere advice to an exceptional player to maybe try and grind some money up while it’s still easy pickings and to have a pretty sick nest egg by 30, instead of drinking and playing video games.
Some might call it unsolicited advice. I’d call it regret/nostalgia being passed onto the next generation for the same mistakes not to be replicated, though, since I was once the 25 year old playing video games and drinking and living off of “savings” and ignoring older nit advice...I know that this is some kind of crazy cycle that must just go on to eternity.
However I really do like this point by Avaritia. Troll/hate/serious advice or whatever it may be, when someone calls me out or in my thread it always reminds me of the fantastic opportunity I currently have. Not many people can say they are their own boss and earn a decent rate of income. Even though most of the call outs are done in an negative way it keeps me accountable. The last 2 weeks my volume has been trash. I am also expecting a lot of people to call me out when I next post my 2 week volume data. This is the main reason I started a thread so I would feel embarrassed when I missed my targets and discourage me from screwing around.
As much as I dislike seeing hate posts because it derails the quality of the thread I think they are somewhat beneficial for Broken as it gives him an opportunity to re evaluate his current position with poker and streaming. Like Avaritia says, most of the time they are genuine pieces of advice.
Anyway sounds like you doing well Broken and hope to see you back in the streets soon. Although Akholic makes a good point about one less tough reg in the pool so take your time hahahaha
