The vast majority of people who try to get into streaming don’t make it. A lot of it is pure luck even if you’re doing all the right things.
I’ve seen many great streamers fail because they didn’t attract large enough numbers to be sustainable even though they were doing all the right stuff.
Anyone serious about being a successful streamer will keep their day job until the point where streaming is self sustainable, which can literally take years of grinding. This guy doesn’t know shit about streaming or how to get there. How he’s going about it is a recipe for failure. And then he expects to use you to keep himself from becoming homeless if it doesn’t work out, which it most likely won’t.
Run.
A shitty laptop is a computer.
What kind of mental gymnastics are you trying to use here?
Do you need help with understanding what a computer is? It isn’t a hard concept to understand.
