All that from playing a video game on Youtube. That's beyond fucked up.
Why? He got his money legitimately. I don't understand the draw of Minecraft, much less WATCHING someone play minecraft, but if it sells, it sells. My friends' kids watch Let's Plays more than they ACTUALLY play games. It's not for us, so we don't understand it. This guy was able to stand out amongst the millions of other Lets Play people.
He didn't make his money on the backs of impoverished nations like the company who made the cellphone in your pocket. He isn't producing chemicals that are killing bees by the millions (which, if it continues, means WE ALL DIE, as will most life on the planet) like Monsanto. His way of making money is less fucked up than most.
Yes he did. Who made all those PCs, cells, tablets, etc. people watch him on? If anything he's part of the problem. He's encouraging sloth, conspicuous consumption, crass commercialism, etc. At least watching sports encourages people to play them or at least get some excercise, he's just making unhealthy kids unhealthier - junk food, radiation, etc. I could go on and on about this but my original summation was apt and to the point.

Meh Pew die pie and Maron didn't set out to be rich. They just did what they like to do and hit the jackpot. I'd rather the money go to someone like Maron than the Kardashians.
