Back before my gaming group fell apart we had this one teenager in the group. I watched the crate system (original CSGO) turn her into a full blown gambling addict for a while. It was pretty fucked up.
On the other hand I once upboxed a factory new knife and when I sold all my skins last year I paid off my credit card. I got lucky. Most don’t.
That girl though, she was incredible, turned into a predatory scammer, seducing nerds and “borrowing” their skins. Factory new bayonets with rare skins, only to turn around and lose them in further trades and gambles. I was quite impressed with the first part, not so much with the way she failed to make a bag out of her grift.
She’s doing really good now though. Grew up, got into medicine, now she works and is a far more valuable contribution to the community than I am. Just figured it was worth sharing the happy ending cuz it was pretty sad for a while there, at the time.
good video for what it is, pity guy is a lib and will fall short of identifying any root causes of this stuff. wild to hear someone discuss this topic over two videos without saying the word “capitalism”, lol. maybe he will surprise me in part 3 but i doubt it. seeing him corner those sleazebag streamers was enjoyable though.
the one and only time my twitch got compromised whoever did so immediately bought a ton of tier 3 6-month gift subs to some CS skin grifter
Fuckin brutal. Sorry that happened to you bro.
all good i got the money back and it made me stop using twitch
Man I just wanted to pwn some n00bs with the awp on de_dust 2 when did gambling get involved?
