but just because you don't respect game streamers doesn't mean that it doesn't have huge consequences and opportunities too.
the people doing that have income and access to capital now whether a bank showed up or not, which is way better than any neobank fintech company can achieve.
in the past, access to capital or electronic payments meant "bank the unbanked", now it doesn't mean that so there's no reason to cling to that goal.
Sorry, but this has nothing to do with whether I respect streamers or not.
Streamers produce entertainment. That's fine, I'm all for entertainment -- I pay for Netflix, for instance. But it is just entertainment. You can't have a strong economy based on producing entertainment alone. We need jobs that produce real-life value at some point.
In other words, kudos to the dude in the favela making money out of streaming, good for him. It's just _not_ something that can be scaled and applied to the millions of people living in favelas that need a good job (or any job really).
