one that can be done literally anywhere as long as there is an internet connection.

lmao... Streaming is one of the most demanding jobs in terms of having a stable internet connection. This isn't a job where you can just lose your connection, wait for 5 minutes and then resume your work. For streaming you need: Rock fucking solid connection that is almost guaranteed to never go down. Very high upload, more than is available in some areas. That's not even talking about networking. Being in an area with a bunch of other streamers is an objective advantage that can make or break certain streams. If your main appeal is IRL streaming, for example, then good luck making it in bumfuck Nebraska, while your entire competition comes from L.A., N.Y.C., or other major metropolitan areas.

The idea that streaming is this online job you can do from anywhere is hillariously reductionist. Destiny had internet problems for literal years while he was in Nebraska and lost god knows how much money because of it. Since he moved to L.A. he has appeared on a bunch of different shows he wouldn't have had access to, from Nebraska. You can like or hate that he has moved to L.A., but the argument that streaming is something you can do successfully from anywhere is simply false.
