Short Answer : Yes

Long Answer : also Yes, but with a small clarification, it can be actually way better than lot of offline jobs where people are being stressed for the whole day, streamers or even youtubers gathering a decent income from Youtube that they probably never think about quitting ever

That's true, thank for your comment

But if you have a hobby that makes money, especially a lot of money, you should also try it right?

It's okay as long as you remember to put fun as the primary factor. When you focus more on the money, the minute the funds stop coming in, you'll start to become stressed and end up burning out yourself.

I think there are games that become tedious for the job, which ruins the fun, then here are games you can play on your own time and enjoy. It's not like every single game that comes out you have to play to get paid. Set aside ones you really like for your personal enjoyment.

A lot of people who thought it would be all sugar and brownies later have regrets and not just that even the streamers and influencers eventually give up too.

There are some very entertaining streamers out there that I find myself watching daily. The thing is, I would not be able to describe the perfect streamer to you. Sometimes streamers just click with you and it will be different for each person. That is why I think it is difficult to make it in the streaming world. You need to have some sort of special like-ability that comes naturally.

Well, I believe that depending on that part of the world where it's being considered and done, there might be a good chance of it being a job but over here in my country, it's not possible.
