Okay bud, wire yourself for video and sound and stream it online 24/7 then. Being seen can always cost you something. Doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. Sometimes what you're doing is just embarrassing and you'd rather it not be recorded for posterity. People need to start getting their asses beat for voicing shitty opinions like this.
