Ok, if you think I'm hating, that is cool.
I just think it is dirty. There's a sucker born every minute but that doesn't mean you need to participate.
To me, it feels different for professional poker players to accept donations. I understand the desire for some people to support the stream and the need for them to feel like they are part of something. That is what subscriptions are for. At least there is some perceived value there. Silly emotes and chat privelages or whatever.
Don't get me wrong Jamie, You are seemingly a nice guy and this doesn't mean you are ****ty. I think you need to think about it a bit more.
Somerville, clearly the biggest poker streamer, sets the example. He could probably rake in several thousand dollars a month if he accepted donations. He directs those that ask to subscribe if they want to support. At least they get something for that.
I appreciate you taking the time to lay out your reasoning.
