1. Because I love it. I disagree that it isn't viewed by many. I guess that is subjective but I am quite happy with my viewership (while always striving to grow at the same time.) Also the return on investment is a lot higher creating content then it is in poker. I have a long way to go before I could get my poker hourly up to my content hourly. Maybe one day they will once again cross paths (see answer 2.)
2. I do study poker and have re-upped my commitment on that front. I study two hours a day as of now which is a huge commitment but I think paying off. Right now I am trying to learn PIO solver and better understanding GTO type thinking in poker hands. It's not super relevant in most of the stuff I am playing right now, but will become relevant in the future (both as games get harder, and as I move up.)
I also would add that I think I am a winning player and have been for a long time in most of the small to mid tournaments that run every day. I was not in the Highstakes stuff over the last year but I think I can get there and learned a lot through playing those games.
3. No it's not necessary. But again, I love it. Also it's works as a diversification of my content to: 1. attract more and different types of brands that wouldn't be interested in sponsoring just poker content, 2. develops a deeper relationship with my audience as not just a player, but a human, and 3. Is an exit plan if I fall out of love with poker to funnel my audience into something creative that I can make.

Users should be able to express whatever opinion they like in this thread. I'm glad to see you support that view.
Jaime has implied he'd like to 'control' the content of this thread by 'banning' people like he does in his chat and sit their answering filtered questions. That is an idea 2+2 moderators shouldn't entertain for a moment. Unfortunately you, as a team, have already given it tacit validation by removing the original thread title.
I am not saying they should filter the thread to take out all criticism, I am just saying there are about 3 or 4 people that have been full time stalking me for almost 2 years now and will do anything to derail the conversations that can take place. They have shown up here and also in the last threads I had. I think they deserve to be heard but not drown out other people's comments.
Also if there is too much noise, it becomes not worth it for myself or others to spend any time in here talking when it's overshadowed by the same complaints we have heard expressed 100s of times. I don't think that's what 2+2, I, or even the fans+critics want of this forum/thread. The line is thin and I'm not trying to draw it, I am just pointing out the roadblocks to participating here from this side of the fence.
