[00:01] doing a live stream. You can't do it like it's work. Some people think it's work, man. Work, for crying out
[00:18] loud, dude, are you kidding me? You know what I mean? You're kidding me, right? know what I mean? You're kidding me, right?
[00:30] Work isn't work. A live stream, man, you understand? No, it's not work. A live stream is something, for crying out loud. If tomorrow I want to travel and I go live while traveling, everyone will watch. If the next morning I want to play video games, people will watch while I'm
[00:42] playing video games. If today I want to, oh, I want to shave, and I do a live stream of me shaving, people will watch. It's not work. So what I want to say is that live streaming is easy to do, it's good, it's simple. That's why
[00:57] that live streaming is easy to do, it's good, it's simple. That's why for wanting to watch me even though I'm doing nothing, you understand? I don't know if you understand what I mean, I don't know how to explain it,
[01:12] explain it, but a live stream is kind of a
[01:26] hobby, you understand? I know it takes work, doing a live stream takes a little work. Depending on what you want to certain audience, you face greater demands, you have to do more
[01:42] important things, and you have to meet a job unless you reach a certain level. For example, I have relatively average numbers on the platform, right?
[01:59] much higher numbers than me. I'm not going to say I'm small, but I'm not I'm small, but I'm not gigantic, a billionaire, the owner of... I'm good, I'm here, cool, I have my crew, you guys
[02:15] have my crew, you guys follow me, right? I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. But there are people who really have a job, yes, I'm not going to... Casemiro, Casemiro, Casemiro, he has a TV station, right? He must have about 300 employees. It's
[02:30] another thing, it's another thing. The Car da Laoud, too. You put the Car da Laoud, the Car da Laoud has... the Laoud has about 170 editors. It's different. I have Gabriel, and
[02:47] my YouTube editor... it's very different, it's very different, you understand? It's very different, it's very different. It's very different, man. It's me, Gabriel, and the editor. It's... it's very different, you know? It's
[03:07] you put it on one end of the spectrum. I'm very lucky. What I mean is, I'm not a lucky. What I mean is, I'm not a professional. I'm very lucky that you guys like me so much. That's what I mean. I do n't know if you
[03:20] understand, right? I'm very lucky that you watch me. So many people watch me every day because I... sometimes I do the basics. My IRL is awful. I go
[03:32] sometimes I do the basics. My IRL is awful. I go out, you know? I go out, I do out, you know? I go out, I do really put effort into were those where I brought
[03:44] guys over to do shows here at my house. But I have so many dumb people watching me that they kept complaining about live shows on Twitch, something you'll never find on Twitch. So, they're so dumb to see
[03:58] different content that it discouraged me from continuing to make different content. And so I prefer to stay here playing nothing so people won't complain so much, you know? Although I can hide my cold stare and shake your hand,
[04:12] you feel it. My flesh and even think that we have the same we have the same lifestyle, I simply don't exist.
