Twitch/YouTube/TikTok literally created a new kind of millionaire. You provide no explanation as to why we should be lauding them. Or are you implying that because someone is a millionaire then we should automatically laud them? Is that what late stage capitalism looks like?

They're providing something of value to their audience, through a combination of entertainment and merch/other sales.

That's why they should be lauded (IMO).

one would laud them the same way HN lauds over successful startup founders and YC'ers. They are entrepreneurial and hardworking.
