Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first "job" a lot of these folks had. So, the idea of having something you worked hard for just quickly taken away from you, will always suck.
But if you have more work experience, you will know to try and get unemployment, and look for a new job ASAP. These folks surely feel lost, and it's all unexpected. Sounds like an awful feeling. I personally don't get how some streamers do it full time, I feel like it's way too risky. Especially if you don't have work experience outside of streaming.
So, YouTube IS an option, right? I get being concerned about losing viewers from other countries, but if you jump to YouTube, surely majority of the fans that care will jump on over.
