Livestreamers, known as "Broadcast Jockeys" or BJs in South Korea, are hard-wired to the digital infrastructure of youth culture. 

This is not a new phenomenon.

BJs have always been a reliable income source.

These live streamers or Youtubers getting paid like that should be banned!

That is Not hardworking compared to the farmers. And the youtubers such as Mukbangs getting huge pay eating the same food the farmers have given us. It's just really unfair.

The sweat on physical work has dried. I just can't believe people love watching people playing and eating. They're wasting their precious time of their life.
