Recently, several young streamers with large fan bases visited a university campus to chat with college students. Their educational backgrounds are not particularly outstanding, yet they earn substantial incomes through livestreaming. On stage, they talked about their experiences and perseverance, with some relaxed and teasing expressions mixed in as well. Such exchanges allow college students to see different paths to growth beyond the classroom—an inherently positive thing. However, once related videos went viral, some netizens began to lament: “What’s the use of going to college? After graduation, my monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan.” “It’s better to start streaming earlier.” … “The idea that studying is useless” seems to have taken on a new tone, sparking discussion as a result.
