Lirik, who has amassed a huge following on the Amazon owned streaming platform, has previously expressed difficulties he has experienced from the pressures and burn out of being a full time streamer. While from an outside perspective, the ability to earn a very solid living from essentially playing video games daily, seems like one of the best jobs in the world for many avid gamers. However, as Lirik and other popular names in streaming have stated in the past, it is perhaps not as easy as it seems ostensibly. Back in January 2018, Lirik himself took a break from streaming on the platform, and from the internet generally, saying it was \u201cgetting tiring, mentally, living in meme land every day\u201d and that it had taken a toll on him. He is now back to streaming regularly, but has a new bone to pick \u2013 namely with \u201cfailed broadcasters who are extremely jealous\u201d, who criticize successful streamers should they dare to say a bad word about the \u2018dream job.\u2019 He explained his point of view in a series of Tweets: I\u2019m actually so sick of these fucks who always need to preach how grateful I should be for being in my streaming position. You can\u2019t ever say anything negative because of course, this is a \u201cdream job.\u201d Go fuck yourself. \u2014 Lirik (@LIRIK) April 30, 2018 I wish there was a way to talk about streaming as a career, where people won\u2019t dismiss it instantly, by saying it\u2019s amazing. I\u2019m not trying to be a bitch here, I just want to educate and explain but I am always told the default answer of \u201cwahhh wahh you should be grateful.\u201d \u2014 Lirik (@LIRIK) April 30, 2018 I guess if you only look at life in one dimension, money, then you are correct. I\u2019m not a very materialistic person though so I don\u2019t think we relate. \u2014 Lirik (@LIRIK) April 30, 2018 It is not haters, it\u2019s failed broadcasters who are extremely jealous and are addicted to chasing the fame\/status. \u2014 Lirik (@LIRIK) April 30, 2018 Read a lot of your comments. Majority of the responses show one thing, they all think money = happiness. Fucking lol. This is what I\u2019m talking about. \u2014 Lirik (@LIRIK) April 30, 2018 Lirik has certainly grown a following which would earn him a very decent living, with his streams regularly attracting over 20,000 concurrent viewers. However, perhaps the old saying \u201cif it was easy everyone would be doing it\u201d is fitting in this scenario, as Lirik clearly feels there needs to be a shift in attitude about the pitfalls of being a full time streamer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Popular Streamer Lirik Hits Out at \u201cJealous\u201d Haters Who Say Streaming is an Easy Job One of the most popular live streamers on Twitch Saqib \u2018Lirik\u2019 Zahid, has hit out at those who say he is not allowed to complain about being a full time streamer because it is the \u201cdream job\u201d.
