As a dad of a 6-year-old kid, I'm concerned that at some point he will eye a video game streaming/youtuber "career". I believe the market already is saturated right now, and by the time he's going to be old enough to actually do it, he will have to compete with a multitude of middle-aged men with professional setups, shows on lock and dedicated followings.

I do believe there was some grace period when anyone could start their own streaming show and garner success quickly, but I believe it is already over. It seems to be the same dynamic that happened in radio and television when either spaces initially populated compared to now where you have to know people to get in.
