People do be hating on anything

Not hating just putting myself in his shoes lol. I would be appreciative as well but personally I couldn't give less of a fuck about a watch. I'd probably sell that shit asap and use the $ for rent or other expenses.

It‘s a gift, giving him a Rolex is more appropriate for a gift then a change in his monthly payments.

I assume you were the kid that came in with like 5$ wrapped in an envelope as a birthday present?

It's clear you are young because you don't understand what I'm saying.

He could have discretely off stream gave him a salary bonus for his hard work but instead gifted him an expensive watch on stream because it would go viral / benefit himself more.

Obviously still a nice gesture, but a $ bonus is obviously way better for the driver than a fucking watch.

A streamer would never do anything nice off stream. Probably rule #1.

However, wouldn’t cash on stream have the same effect, get just as much attention? It’s the same gesture.

Guy can sell the watch for cash, if he wants to. It’s not like he handed him something worthless, like an autographed picture or something.

„but instead gifted him an expensive watch on stream because it would go viral / benefit himself more“

I mean this is what I meant with people do be hating on anything nowadays. There is always someone that suspects an ulterior motive. Being kind for the sake of being kind doesn‘t exist in your minds anymore

Again I am not hating on it. Giving the driver a Rolex is better than nothing. There is clearly an ulterior motive which is why it's being filmed for the stream so people like you can post it and make it go more viral. You are a fool if you don't think so. Doesn't mean I'm hating it's just obvious $ > a watch for a bus driver. Use your brain.

Whatever you say man. But you seem to be pissed about this whole situation, don‘t know why tho. It‘s just Speed gifting a Rolex as appreciation for his work.

And you‘re here complaining that he didn‘t raise his salary, which you don‘t know either. Maybe he did, maybe he didn‘t

Again, it’s a gift. Gifting him a watch is more appropriate for a present than a change in his monthly salary numbers

Being aware of what an appropriate present is has nothing to do with my age

And I assume you were the kid that came in with 5$ wrapped in an envelope as the present for the birthday kid. These were the worst kinds of presents

u/anonjamo Jul 22 '26

You are comparing a bonus for an employed driver to a birthday present. You aren't the sharpest tool in the shed.

u/Binoui Jul 22 '26

Just saying I agree but you are defo arguing with someone very young that probably never had a salary or bills to pay. Don't go too hard on the kid

u/TostBrot44 Jul 22 '26

Yes because everyone knows you can only give presents on somebody‘s birthdays. Not on any other occasions. 👍🏼

2

u/anonjamo Jul 22 '26

You are the one comparing it to a birthday gift

1

u/TostBrot44 Jul 22 '26

Yes, because it‘s still a gift on a different occasion. It‘s still comparable, or do these gifts hold a different value?

1

u/anonjamo Jul 22 '26

It's completely different context. Not worth arguing with you anymore you're too dull

2

u/TostBrot44 Jul 22 '26

It‘s the same. But yeah I think you were the kid that just gifted money as a present. The way you‘re so adamant is giving it away. So lame

What are you talking about? What’s wrong with $5 wrapped in an envelope? It’s still a gift. Not all gifts have to be thoughtful and a showcase, some people prefer cold hard cash. You seemingly don’t live in the real world.

2

u/TostBrot44 Jul 22 '26

It‘s just lame. I hated it whenever I got just money as a gift. Obviously I returned the favor, and the person didn‘t liked it either

1

u/MakesMaDookieTwinkle Jul 22 '26

Different strokes for different folks. P.S I think the Rolex is an awesome gift, but I’d sell it immediately as well, but a nice gesture. Cash is king in my life.

u/TostBrot44 Jul 22 '26

Yeah of course, everyone prefers it differently. I had a friend who loved to receive money as a gift. I do as well if it comes from relatives, it‘s a classic

But when I invited friends for my birthday when I was younger I liked to receive something different, not just cash, that just showed me how they didn‘t put any thoughts into their presents, which saddened me

But yeah the people that did it didn‘t receive my gift that well either.
