Second question, what are your thoughts on the poker industrial complex, and its effect on the current and future poker world?
Edit: welcome legend
Streams are a fun toy, they do nothing to help or grow poker in fact they do the opposite. the average person who a stream brings in is low stakes and trying to improve. If you run a stream "meetup game" it is mostly low stakes nit type scared money players that show up. the dudes you really want to play with dont know **** about streams. they get forwarded a hand like robbies J4 a few times a year.
Poker industrial complex has ruined poker, streams and televised tournaments have made live cash poker a dwindling hellscape for someone who wants to make 150k+ a year. poker tournaments have pulled all of the money out of cash poker, i said this many many years ago and was 100% correct. People think tournaments bring cash players in, they absolutely DO NOT. those days are long gone. live tournaments are a scam no one can make a living off of, easily proven, and they pull massive amounts of money out of the poker economy.
