Are streamers being paid to pretend they like this league?

Across the board, all streamers are acting like they love the league mechanic. While I get maybe some actually do, there's no way they all do. In my 8 years playing PoE, I've never had a league mechanic be so tedious I'm over with the league by day 2. I was checking a few streamers to see if they share the same concerns. Nope. All of them are saying how great and intuitive it is. Just not buying it.

Well most will for as long as they can stomach this league because its their job.


Im sure mathil wont hold back soon.
keep in mind that streamers craft WAAAAAY more than your average exile. so it isn't surprising to me they love it.

the crafting is pretty crazy, honestly. i love crafting so im liking it so far.

the t3+ seeds seemed daunting at first, but i just spent about 30 mins and set up my garden to handle all tier seeds. wasn't too tough. didn't listen to anything reddit says (never read it) or that stupid layout from the ziggyd video/link

i don't get 100% coverage but its way better looking and easier to manage. i now also see i need more storage and way over bought on dispensers (only using 6)

so now im pretty stoked

Ofc they hate it but they live from that stream and people subscribing.

They wont shoot themselves in the foot by being honest.

Look at Mathil. Dude was burned out after Delirium only to start new 3 months of everyday stream that's basically standard league. His face screems in boredom.
He will give it an honest shot, but he is the one that's going to call bullshit first.

if streamer says league is bad = less viewers = less money for the streamer
If you wanna see someone curse about how awful the building mechanics are then tune into my stream lol. The crafting is OP as fuck tho
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.
Nah, they are not being paid. They always say that they love the league and that it seems fantastic in the first week or two and then suddenly when they can't stomach the BS of some of the leagues we've had the truth just spills out. They just can't say it early on as they want subscribers and more money, which is fair. So I guess, tehnically they do get paid, but ofc not by GGG.

I expect their opinions to change drastically within a week or two at absolute most. The league, just like many others are intentionally unconvenient just to have the illusion of depth when in fact there is no depth whatsoever.

BEFORE they changed anything about the drops.
it was already by far and large the best league for loot even before it was changed. ppl are just moronic.
and not even just on this level, but on any level. i was calling it out since the first weekend it was the craziest league for loot the game has ever seen.

after they changed it, it got even crazier. as in even more insane drops for less investment.

the problem is people were doing delirium with NO other league mechanics (first week, just low tier maps with zero investment) and were bitching all day long, not even knowing that you need to pop the bubbles for more mods as well as couple it with other league mechanics. because delirium never was supposed to be run on its own, and still isn't. its a steroid mechanic
