Environmental Issues: What should be the waiting of millions of people for the Fortnite Event?

I was aware of the event by another user and there are a lot of streamers with a total of millions of viewers watching these streams at the same time and seeing only a black hole with a black screen. Is not that especially now in these times where you should avoid something so senseless really necessary? How do you like that? Of course you can also be hypersensitive, but it annoys me that you should pay attention to the environment but then comes an event that needs tons of electricity…

I think your reasoning is not very thoughtful. The streams would otherwise run anyway, but with other content, namely the regular ones

I mean from the Fortnite CEOs, they've determined that so many people will watch a black live stream for hours.

I mean from the Fortnite CEOs, they've determined that so many people will watch a black live stream for hours.

so they certainly have not determined.

Everyone from the audience is probably free in the decision. No one is forced to look at the stream.

If people like watching a black screen - that would be too stupid for me.

They know exactly that the whole world loves Fortnite, of course most of the kids, and in Germany alone, a streamer had 350,000 live viewers. Exceptions prove the rule. I'm not interested in the game itself - only through someone I've even learned that such an unnecessary event is running.

"they've determined that so many people will watch a black live stream for hours"
Did you possibly forget a word? The sentence makes so relatively little sense.
To come back to your main question: There's now simply a gaming event going. Currently also the LoL Worlds are in Berlin. Just such a huge event and the teams even fly to international

Sure, the loudest screaming for environmentalism and demonstrate, they do not care. The main thing is that they can pursue their hobby.

A few thousand PCs are not even worth mentioning consumers. That's a joke…

Look in the industry what "loads of electricity" is.

Why do you use electricity to post such questions here? That's just as unnecessary power consumption.

Li

But with my mining I earn money, what do the millions of people bring in money?

Pe

Mining in Germany? And then probably not synonymous with GPUs? There's hardly any more senseless waste of energy.

Li

Clear with GPUs, besides, you just have to know how it pays.

Pe

And he's upset over a few streamer on xD… Made my day
