Between 13% and 16% of the kids in the U.S. live below the poverty line. What you're observing is the tragic case of wealth inequality. It has only become more cost prohibitive to play video games, and as a result streamers get bigger and bigger. This has become true for almost every aspect of life that is popularized by streamers.
You should recognize that this statement:
is one that can only come from privilege.
Now, I'm not calling you out on your privilege — I just need you to understand that this isn't a generational divide. This is a class divide. As the class divide deepens and wealth inequality skyrockets — these things will only get worse.
