@KyldenarYup. My theory has been that that is exactly why the streamers and pros recommend this futile playstyle, so they make all these kids hot-drop with them and they can make content off of them. Not to mention badge farming them.

Oh, exactly!

Long time ago there used to be a Guild Wars 2 PvP streamer, went by 'Lord Helseth' or some such.

Now, he was a very good Mesmer player. Frequently top 5 of the PvP ladders in the game, with a class that is by and large totally nerfed outside of the ability to abuse the AI with your illusion clones (cause they pull aggro for you). Can't deny his raw skill.

But also can't deny he spent a lot of time trying to talk new players into PvP so he and his organized team could stomp them for content. He never SAID that was what he was doing, but similar speeches of, "It takes time and losing a lot to get this good first. You gotta come into PvP with us to learn."

Pretty much EVERY streamer for PvP only games is 100% dependent on being able to take advantage of Type 4 and Type 5 players (which constantly churn and are replaced) for their content. You notice that most of them leave these PvP games for new pastures (like Helseth did GW2) once enough type 4 and 5 churn out of the game leaving only types 1 to 3, which makes it harder for them to get content on stream that makes them look good. Once they start having to fight on their level, they look for a new game to abuse. 

Apex is starting to head that way now.

This is THE TRUTH. This is why people need to kill twitter, youtube, tiktok, instagram, ttv, and their phones in general. They need to live their lives instead of pissing them away watching other people pretend to live their's.
