Are streamers being paid to pretend they like this league?

It can't possibly be that someone would like something that I don't like. They must be pretending.

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.

Good news is, you dont have to "buy it". POE is free to play so you can experience it yourself and decide whether or not YOU like it. Why does it matter to you if they like it or not, or are being genuine about it or not?

People have spent hundreds/thousands of dollars on this game. Fuck off with the "it's frees" bs.

Nah, its their CHOICE to spend money on it, its not required, it is still free to play, that fact isnt going to change, so, take your own advice there.

Everyone who promotes something gets paid. It is simple business

His face says it all, he doesn't even need to say anything, you can tell whet he's thinking. I'm worried he might have mental breakdown at some point.

Yeah...

Elitist can say whatever about his builds and what not, but Mathil has a fighter personality and i like that very much. He's very dedicated person to his interests and I respect that.
But as you said you can see what he thinks from his face. He's not amused with the new "league". Even he is little burned out.

Nevertheless i'd rather relax, watch him play and maybe learn something new while skipping 3.11

Of course they are paid. Of course they are getting money to like it.
The streamers you see the most, play the most, and are very, very good at their streaming playing, of course they pretending to like it. Well, maybe not all, but absolutely.

You can watch any, and I mean ANY stream with the more well known faces around, and you will notice they ALWAYS say how GREAT every League is. Doesn´t matter what League it is. They will say it´s great, no matter what. Just go check Youtube, and you´ll know what I mean.
They stream, they are getting paid by viewers and they ARE being paid for saying how great it is. And the best streamers is raking in cash. Loads of it.


Seriously, if you had $1800 income a month, and I came to you and said: Listen, I want you to stream one game 4-6 hrs 5 days per week that you are very good in, and I´ll pay you $1000 a month to do so, next to all the cash you will get from all your viewers. And one thing you also need to always say, is simply how GREAT game this is.

Would you do it? Of course you would. Why not?
