“ But as a gig worker for a media empire, even a successful streamer like Tyler has a livelihood that’s inherently unstable — without insurance, unions, sick days, retirement funds or hope for a sustainable career.”

That’s funny. He has earned more in a year than many in a decade. Million a year and it’s unstable. What makes you think the job of a software engineer is stable! He is skilled in entertainment. He will find a way.



His outgoings must be pretty modest if he spends most of his waking life streaming.


And why does he need a union when he works for himself?

And what do they mean he doesn't have a retirement fund? He has plenty of income to invest in a retirement fund.
