>>39269391>A food metaphor, really?Well let me make a list of metaphors just for you so you can get it through your thick skull, just so you can maybe fully realise how absolutely insane your analogy was.
Someone who wants to drive cars would stop trying to drive if you put mines on every road.
Someone who wants to server customers would stop if every customer stole from them without paying.
Someone who wants to bungee jump would stop if you took away their jumping spring.
Your analogy of "streamers would stop streaming if having viewers literally TOOK money away from them" is so beyond ludicrous I don't even know where to begin with it, it is so obviously a completely pointless example that the fact you can't recognize it tells any observer all they need to know about your mental faculties.
>that knows that as an entertainer of the public they need to ensure they have an audience to succeed.Here's the crux of what you don't seem to get.
The "entertainer" in your example, is also someone who wants attention, as being an entertainer is also another thing that is inherently about, requires, and must be carried out by someone who wants, attention.
>that knows that as an entertainer of the public they need to ensure they have an audience to succeed.This is literally all attention, you aren't even capable of disagreeing with that fact, you seem to struggle to understand what attention means.
