Anyone else starting to really dislike Ice?

Well that's what i was going to highlight in my 'mini-essay'

Without coming of brash i'll just be blunt but it's the tone of your comment and other posts alike that deter Ice from fulfilling his maximum potential in providing the best content he can and also being able to feel good about it.

I won't ramble but i'll just bullet point what my mini-essay was going to emphasise points on because even when i see essays on this subreddit i don't even bother skim-reading at all.

  • "Yeah, the poor soul never takes any breaks" if you lurk this subreddit enough you've seen people post about Ice's friends talking about his level of dedication to the stream off-camera (cba to link for clip) e.g. i believe it was Glink or whoever saying "this is ice when we're out getting food" mimics him staring at his phone something between the lines "he's checking on the sub-reddit all of the fucking time man, every post" says something about trying to get his attention but just stares at his phone all the time checking the reddit

  • consumes ridiculous amounts of caffeine / sugar that are 5x+ his daily recommended from drinks that but his health at risk with the intention of spiking his energy to a hyper level that people call being 'autistic'

  • barely even has 1 of his 3 essential meals of the day with the avoidance of being called Sitting Andy on stream meaning a large calorie deficit if you consider that he's a tall guy requiring more (don't get me wrong he's largely responsible for this one, he can't expect people to literally feed him)

  • ACCUMULATIVE STRESS, you don't need to know anything about psychology to know life changes little or big as they are can be stressful to an individual and if one goes through many they can bundle up. To count a few: moving away from parents, moving houses, moving city/states (which are stressful enough for some people just look at some people who drop out of Uni just because of this) getting banned from Twitch (his main source of income) then moving to a platform with uncertainty if it will provide him with a decent income to stay where he moved, increased social circle (this should be a positive but as it's widely known with little 'fame' comes some restrictions too e.g. drama and genuinity of friends aka leech or not) a main one GETTING SWATTED and harassed by callers (irrespective of whose fault, it is undeniably stress inducing regardless if it's 'part of streaming IRL'

fuck, i've rambled on but just try to be in his position take in mind the guy really doesn't care for money (23K a month LUL, yes ok) because it essentially doesn't make him happy. Look how he uses the money, he's either spent it on stream or saved up for his stock funds for his FUTURE when streaming is over for him. All of those factors i've listed individually can make someone break and i'm not saying you shouldn't be abe to criticise him just don't do it in a way that makes it counterproductive and especialy for others that make it mob-like SCRUTINISE HIM IN A PRODUCTIVE WAY so he can actually take it in and improve the content rather then reminded that he's 'autistic' and presuming he doesn't care for stream and what not which can demotivate someone largely.

As ive mentioned HE'S READING EACH COMMENT/POST GUYS, MAKE THE MOST OF IT BY EITHER HELPING OR MAKING HIM FEEL BETTER. He's feeling down as fuck and you guys dont see it cause it's off stream e.g. therapeutic Uber driver who was retired entertainer.

and Ice if you're reading this, get a full-time manager mate
