It's worse than that, they can watch for free, but many of them voluntarily donate money, to the point this Ninja guy apparently makes like $800,000 a month or some such.
When you see "good news" about how kids today are watching less TV, remember that this is what they're choosing to watch now. It's not like they're dumping television for books, their just exchanging one glaring screen of mindless entertainment for another.
I played Pac-man and Space Invaders in the Marine Corps e-club back in the early 1980s. I'd order a pitcher of 3.2 beer and head to the arcade area with a pocket full of quarters. I fancied myself quite the gamer at the time. The world certainly has changed.

Do women ever grab men by the goods?
Why would anyone pay to watch someone else play video games?
In another ten years there will be celebrity video game watchers who get donations for just streaming themselves watching famous gamers play video games.
This stuff might be a good reason there could never be sustained civil unrest, we are the most entertained people ever. Look out if the power gets turned off though!

I had a fellow teacher try to grab me on the staircase. He’d text me some nasty stuff, too, after a drink or two. I managed to straighten him out without involving our principal, and he’s lucky.
Men have no idea what some guys are up to. They can’t believe that one of their buddies might be a grabber - or worse.
A friend of mine was telling me about how she had to go to her first reader’s house to pick up his comments on a draft of her dissertation. His story was he was leaving town and not going to be in his office for a while. He disappeared for a moment and he returned to the room stark naked.
Of course the guy isn’t going to let his buddies know that he would do something like that.
A drafting pen or sharp #2 pencil in the guts would end that pretty quick.
“People pay to watch other people play video games?”
Anyone wanna pay to watch me stream as I read and post on FR?
You hear these stories and you think: What on earth does a guy think that's going to accomplish?? Unless he's a gorgeous Adonis, naked men are no treat to look at. Do they really expect a woman to just be overcome with lust and drop to her knees? Do they know us at ALL?? I guess they don't because I certainly don't understand them.
Many of these guys figure they have a 10% chance of scoring. Maybe less, maybe more?
So they pin a woman to the wall in the elevator or they stick their hands up under her sweater. They figure they might get lucky. They also figure (correctly) the women will keep quiet and not tell anybody.
The world turns. Women won’t keep quiet anymore.
