I can see the same sensationalized headline for the dawn of pro baseball. "Men abandoning work force to play silly schoolyard games all day"
Remember when @WSJ was a credible source? Oh...yeah I don't either.

I don't think it's terribly far fetched. I know a few friends who don't work in their 20s and basically stay home and play video games

It's an over exaggeration of reality, but true. I have heard stories of people quitting so they can put their all in streaming or Youtube.

Which can be fine in certain situations for experienced people, but no if you are just like "hey that looks fun/easy"
