twitch is unironically the absolute worst thing to ever happen to the gaming industry - it is far worse than microtransactions and lootboxes general reminder that if you donate to e-bums you are literally the biggest beta on the planet
Twitch's only real influence is esports and other event broadcasts. Otherwise they're basically just lets players. They don't matter, and looking at twitch numbers is far more representative of which big streamer is playing a game versus actual game success. They don't matter. I get that you think it's annoying but it doesn't actually matter.
Mason Russell
The worst is when you see people write twitch emotes outside of twitch
Ohhhhh shiiiit. Anonymous2990 with the HUNDRED gifted subs!!
Chase Cook
>Sad thing happens BibleThump >Cool music plays SourPls >Stream has an error WutFace >Racism >cmonBruh >Girl appears >HeyGuys >Scary thing happens >monkaS >Unfortunate thing happens >NotLikeThis and the entire chat spams this shit in a huge hivemind
Ian Rivera
Yeah they do, you think people will buy the game after watching someone play through the whole thing?
William Jones
>Twitch's only real influence is esports Fucking false. Game companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to advertise their game on twitch. A big new game release? Every big streamer is doing it and everyone has #ad in the title.
Justin Allen
i genuinely don't understand stream chats. it's the most npc thing ever. it goes so fast and there are so many people and everyone is focused on their own message, not talking to eachother, but having their opinion be seen they just waste time typing into the ether they might as well just type into notepad then delete it the same number of people will read it as the number of people who see your unfunny kappa face
Ian Russell
Depends on the game, and those games often do very poorly for twitch viewership. If that's your main criticism, youtube is a far, far worse offender.
Isaac Morgan
and that's the streamer. not twitch.
Adrian Reyes
you spaz i just want to watch people play games so i have my hands free to roll and smoke blunts. i know fuck me, right?
Landon Powell
Do you think ads equate to influence? If so, then sure I guess. What good is influence if you're just being played the hands of other more massive corporations.
Carter Parker
read a book streamers aren't a substitute for friends
Colton Sanders
OP is right that Twitch "humour" is the dumbest shit in history but I don't know what effect it has on the industry at all. Twitch certainly does I guess but not that retarded chat.
Aiden Miller
hey guys idiot
Camden Martin
because people who are starved for attention their whole lives will do literally anything like giving away money to someone so they notice your username for 2 seconds, its absolutely fascinating how desperate a human will become. Twitch betas should be studied
Angel Cooper
>Want to fullscreen to ignore chat >Chat is part of their stream overlay
>Do you think ads equate to influence? Seeing how the actual fucking point of advertisement is to influence people to do or think a certain way, yeah.
Joseph Rivera
The ads do, but that power isn't necessarily in the hands of twitch was my point. They exist as a channel of it, not the source.
Nicholas Collins
>because people who are starved for attention their whole lives will do literally anything Yeah but thene why head into an E3 conference stream or some ninja stream with thousands of people to get the attention there? No one will pay it to you. Not even talking about the knuckledraggers who actually donate, the NPCs who just sit in twitch chat spamming emojis or numbers or just type sentences into the chat box. Makes no fucking sense to me. I never understood it, even before streaming was big when we'd stream movies on Yea Forums or watch e3 conferences. I'd always close the chatbox if there were more than ~50 people because you're not going to have a conversation
John Lee
>he doesn't turn chat off as soon as page loads Your own fault tbdesu
you need to have some reading comprehension to post here, i didnt say anything about watching twitch retard
Ayden Hill
Man this is the disconnect i have with these zoomers today. They fucking bitch and moan about gamegrumps and oneyplays and best friends or whatever the fuck they're watching talking about how awful it is and how much they hate them and how they wish they'd fix their shit. it's baffling. No one's making you watch man these guys aren't your friends. If you hate it stop watching it. But these weird kids these days grow personal attachment to the disembodied voices, I guess, and see them as real friends they can't just throw away. It's so weird. When the simpsons turned to shit i just stopped watching.
Sebastian Williams
you're weird then
Jace Gomez
I managed to get 67 lvl as spellhowler during c4\c5.
Logan Adams
>watch Jerma play Sam&Max >the chat is full of OwOs and FEET I should just adblock that shit, why even have this filth on my screen.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. You have to be an special kind of stupid to give people money for talking to a camera and playing videogames. It truly boggles my mind that this type of thing exists. You have some people making thousands of dollars a month, the whole thing is bizarre.
It's for the lonely loser to feel like he has friends and is part of a community. What makes me angry though is that the people milking it want to call that shit a job or label themselves a "streamer"
Face it, you may make a ton of money from milking these idiots but don't you dare call that shit a job.
how do you not realize that you're one of them? this is the weird disconnect i'm talking about. you're right there with them watching this garbage.
Kayden Phillips
>dont you dare call that shit a job
But it is literally by almost every definition a job
Noah Howard
But they entertain people, it's like being a comedian or just a show business man. That's a job.
Robert Sanchez
>it is far worse than microtransactions and lootboxes kike detected. shoo shoo jew
Mason Long
I liked his content from his youtube days and still do, doesn't mean that I engage in this chat behaviour. It's entertainment, I don't know why you're so pissy about people enjoying comedic video content on the Internet.
Thomas Kelly

there is so little difference between porn addicts on camgirl sites and twitch. i may be 12 different ways of pathetic, but i thank god every day that i'm not someone's fucking beta orbiter. imagine being the guy that leaves comments on porn
Except, you know, Twitch and YouTube completely killed off Telltale Games.
Luke Moore
so if you go watch a film in the cinema and some retard gets up and starts clapping everytime something amazing happens should you be blamed for them being retarded? aslong as you dont donate or take part in the cringe that is chat then why not enjoy free entertainment if it does entertain you. I dont find any streams enjoyable for more than 2 secones but i watch limmys highlight clips cause hes an actual comedian
Joseph Lopez
except, you know, they branched out WAY too much and bought a shit load of licenses after a single hit, walking dead s1
Jaxon Cook
I share this sentiment. Anyone with a meme dog shiba I like to send the webm of the indian guy bbq'ing one alive with a blowtorch. Really anyone with a dog is automatically a normie piece of shit
You came in this thread with the express purpose of shitting on the weirdos in his chat
nope but if you go to a marvel movie and you're disgusted by the cosplayers and unwashed ass aroma in the theater then you're missing something. whatever drew them there drew you too.
Jackson Moore
i no longer have any. when i said i no longer wanted to be associated with her, i meant it and deleted everything. that whole ordeal was the first exposure i had to her since breaking up
John Mitchell
True, but you can't deny that people would rather watch someone react to those "games" and see their choices rather than play it themselves.
Anthony Young
Americans are fat Kkona
Xavier Robinson
Telltale Games killed Telltale Games. Sure, a lot of people watched the games instead of buying them, but this can be said about any singleplayer story-based game streamed on Twitch. Doesn't mean any of them would've bought the games otherwise, either. Telltale bought up too many expensive IPs, spread themselves too thin and hired too many people. This is what killed them. If they continued making 1 game at a time with a small team, they'd still be around and left behind a much better legacy.
Not really her fault. She's just exploring a hole in the system and taking advantage of it. That being said, she's actually quite smart and nice. Her ''real'' personality is far more interesting than her stream persona t. met her at events several times
Kevin Nelson
Yeah and that's a penis in your ass, not a nigga raping you.
Blake Gomez
I kinda hope mudslimes take over the world
Hunter Walker
You are free to enjoy it. It's just bizarre to shit on the other people enjoying it and trying to put your head and sholders above them when you're all there to watch the same thing
It doesn't affect me though, who willingly goes on a site they don't like? Microtransactions and lootbox cancer however, that shit is now seeping into almost every game..

Charles Rogers
So if you like the original Star Wars trilogy, you are the same as the Reylo tumblr cunts because you were drawn in by the same franchise? What is this logic?
Kayden Miller
Your logic makes zero fucking sense, you think everyone who watches the same tv shows or youtube vids are all the same based non-cringeworthy person?
Tyler Thomas
I only watch Clint Stevens. All other streamers are shit. I never donate to anyone including Clint.
Chase Evans
the logic is that if you're still going to see star wars movies at this point then you're going for a reason. you can't go there and look around the theater in disgust at people actually going to see star wars when you're there too. that's entire different from being a fan of the original and not following it anymore now that you don't like the new direction.
Brandon Baker
I find the proliferation of facecam, oversized overlays and obnoxious annouces thanking to be more cancerous than the dumb chat hivemind of a 3+ viewer digit stream.
Henry Edwards
you forgot his favorite one: >rape that bitch!
Jacob Flores
if i ever think of something extremely funny to say, ill give jerma five bucks. but i know that's not always necessary, as he did read my message once and it derailed the stream for like 20 minutes
Dylan Young
No, but there's a reason you don't see furries at the opera house. The fanbase of something always reveals a significant part of the original entertainment, you can't deny this.
Thomas Ross
No. I'm saying if you're WATCHING big bang theory every week you have no right to complain about big bang theory fans being idiots. You're one of the idiots. You don't stand above them
Dominic Ward
so say for example tonight you watch game of thrones or some documentary on tv and somewhere in the world someone else is watching it who is a pure cringeworthy retard does that make you just as bad as them? you're literally retarded shut the fuck up
Jeremiah Martin
wow dude thats quite the accomplishment!
>if i have something extremely funny to say Can you imagine being someone who says "alright, now THIS quip, THIS he's gotta read. Where's my credit card?" jesus christ

No you fucking moron. Because after I watch game of thrones I'm not gonna go around saying "God these game of fucking thrones fans are cringy idiots man" while I queue up my DVR for next week.

You're getting a sneak peak at how in the future people won't even be literate, we'll communicate through iconography only. Just like that one episode of Star Trek, BibleThump will actually come to mean "To be sad"
Nicholas Brooks
You would if you saw or heard them doing something cringe you fucking retard, just because you enjoy one thing does not lump you in what other retards decide to do with it you fucking dickhead. Your so fucking dumb it actually hurts. Stop typing.

Fuck you morons when I said it was the worst thing to happen to gaming recently people here just started naming their favorite FPS streamers like shroud at the time.
Reddit has really set the bar lower for this place.
Oh yeah, i also forgot about those playlist faggatrons, especially the monstercat/rap one
And a special mention to the shitty gaymer headset users whose mic pick up both mouse and keyboard clicks while the game volume has beenn turned down to inaudible levels
Eh, at least you guys are better than Moonmoon subs.
Sebastian Parker
>turn 18 >realize twitch streamers aren't your friends >move on You'll be fine in a few years
Logan Gonzalez
i wish someone would acknowledge my post but i know it will go unheeded. but you’re correct. i have no doubt that due to twitch games are becoming more casualized because of all the girls that are involved with it. there are girls literally cleaning up on twitch and they cant even play games.
of course twitch sees this and makes money off it, the industry sees it and thusly we get shitty games so girls can stream and beta cucks can pay them.
Twitch.TV is a mass-media version of the old Yea Forums Youtube, Synctube, Cytube, etc. streams where we'd spam GO GO GO GO to Gal-o Sengan and other such things, there is really no difference besides being buttmad about the normies and the subject-matter not being Yea Forums-friendly.
>be a streamer on twitch >don't watch streams outside of AGDQ, pretty ignorant of twitch culture >people always spamming twitch memes and emotes >tfw don't understand them Whatever. I hate watching people but I like streaming. I made $20 last night just getting drunk and playing vidya.
I can't go there anymore because every moderator is 12 years old. Something black and white was referenced on stream and I said "It don't matter if you're black or white hee hee" and got banned from a chat, because it was around the time when that pointless Netflix documentary aired about Michael Jackson, so zoomers think he's a pedo that can't be mentioned. Then I got banned in the Pokemon chat for posting that Arab emote when a building blew up. I didn't even make a terrorism connection, a mod just assumed a single emote was linked to terrorism, creating their own narrative in their head and banning me for their own thoughts. Then I was in a chat room that was split into two because of Endgame spoilers. I said in the nonsubscribers chat "is chat really split because of a stupid kid's movie" and got banned for that.
The place needs to reset again, because it's turned into pointless non-game related shit all over again just like Justin.tv was. But they can't afford to do that now because something better will immediately take its place. It's fucked beyond repair.
Zachary Russell
>watch some event >twitch spam going a mile a minute
What's the point? No one will read any of it.
Noah Carter
I like Vargskeltor he doesn't beg and spend half the stream reading donations instead of playing the game.
Bentley Johnson
People become mods so they can ban people. The thrill of banning is their primary objective and if they can justify it, they will.
Saw a mod spazz out and kick a guy for saying "trap", defended the dude and also got banned.
Jaxon Carter
Yea Forums isn't far from it. The faster a board/chat moves the less quality each reply will have. Twitch chat is comparable to stickies.
Connor Cook
jap 3d streamer idol culture is so weird, everything sounds so scripted and there is a definitely a team of people working behind the scenes because of the high production values. Yet they still pump out videos weekly or even daily. Do they even get money from donations?
Alexander Perez
You sound autistic yourself, so it's probably good for you that you can move on and fuck off forever from twitch.

Maybe stop watching cuck streamers faggot. Nani had a donation where the username was a spoiler for endgame on her screen all stream the other day.
Michael Smith
too bad she's dying
Jeremiah Walker
there's a difference between video makers and streamers, the videos are obviously very scripted and they get money from ads and sponsorships streamers are a lot more free going and they get money from donations and memberships, the popular ones get around 2-3 million yen in donations per month youtube.com/watch?v=KBhjUas_lM4
Streamers purposely have a ton of songs with the word "black" in them in their playlist so it makes chat say "CmonBruh".
Lucas Clark
>no one even minds this for some reason

Soulless black eyes. Imagine being a literal product to be used in ads and thinking you're special for it when all you do is talk into a mic to autists all day.

Owen Sanders
It's like the zoomer equivalent to radio for boomers.
It's free company for lonely people talking about topics you like, only it's even better, because you can talk directly to the streamer and other fans and you might even get your name mentioned on stream and holy shit you actually exist
It's already started, i can't even count how many times people respond with the text for twitch emotes OUTSIDE of twitch.
Alexander Lewis
>open youtube video in private tab >recommended videos are "top ten Yea Forums pranks", "best greentexts compilation #47", and some meme like the clown pepe >they all have hundreds of thousands or several million views I have to wonder who watches these. Why would people join facebook groups just to discuss memes that come from Yea Forums? Why wouldn't they come here? Do they not actually enjoy this place but like the humor? Are they lurkers?
I don't understand these things.

Jordan Ortiz
Once you realize money isn't life and break free from the cycle, you'll become so much happier. Money is a tool used by the powerful to keep the rabble in line. If we abolished money tomorrowz the wealthy and powerful will still remain at top. Money exists to give a a false hope we have a chance to be more than a peasant.
Andrew Lee

Elijah Phillips
Hey kids, most of your favorite streamers are legitimately going to end up killing themselves when their 'streaming career' falls through and society moves past their shit while they simultaneously become older and more uninteresting and disconnected. They're going to go homeless and kill themselves or become a drug fiend like Stamper and do heroin and coke until they're no longer recognizable as a human being. You're responsible for it by enabling them with your money, it's the same every single generation; people prop them up and then when they're not funny anymore they let them fall hard.
Whoa...it's almost like...emotes...are meant to express emotions and reactions to something happening.
Anyone that complains about emotes is a huge autist and should simply turn the chat off if they don't like it.
Oliver Baker
Good. I hope it happens to manvsgame soon.
Jace Young
I'd kill myself.
Luke King
>Streamer is lowkey and doesn't overreact to anything >His chat is turbospergs who spam frogs and pyramids How the fuck does this happen? I've seen this a couple of times now where the streamer is very laid back and pretty much never freaks out over anything ever while the chat is absolute cancer
Carson Carter
Everything needs money in life. Vast majority of people are stuck working nearly half a day because they need money to live. Some lucky e-whores are hateable lucksters who easily freed themselves from this shackles.
my favorite streamers are smart entrepeneurs who continuously try to branch out into other businesses, so I think they'll make it somehow
Christopher Hill

They don't consider Yea Forums as a place to talk or discuss anything, they just literally consider Yea Forums a place where you get their lolfunny laugh, kinda like how people browse 9gag. So they have to rely on a third party to bring their jokes which can be youtube or reddit or even worse, fucking facebook. I remember seeing someone one r/Yea Forums said the site is too hard to use and they didn't want to bother reading through all the "shitposts" to find a "good" post.

That's a fair complaint though, especially on Yea Forums 99% of posts are shitposts. You can have a 400 post thread of consolewars with maybe 3 or 4 decent posts in the entire thread, that's just a waste of everyone's time.
I don't know if I have a sixth sense for things like this or what but I rarely watch league streams and the one time I opened his stream he went and fed on viktor and he got banned for 2 weeks for intentionally feeding
Jace Carter
these type of threads make me realize how full of antisocial niggers this board is
They need money because the powerful said they do. Money is our shackles that bind us into slavery. We could feed everyone but we don't because the elites wish to rule over us. There is nothing natural about money.

How much money do average streamers make? They must have a lot to constantly break controllers, chairs, tables, etc. like its nothing. I understand the need for the entertainment industry, but don't people think streamers are overpaid for their work compared to musicians, comedians and actors? Its honestly a lot easier to get good at gaming than it is an instrument or acting.
Daniel Evans
I wish I had money to waste on internet retards. All I got goes to rent and having a car that runs.
If you never donate to a Twitch streamer you must be poor or something. Some of those girls really need it if you would take the time to read their backstory. And knowing your money is well spend also makes it feel good. Do you really need to use your money to buy mcdonalds or something? What ever happened to being allowed to decide where you spend your own money? If I wanna take care of some girl and know that I helped her it's just too good
Brody Roberts
>comfy die faggot
Owen Cruz
idk anything about this shit but how dare a woman have a real man while collecting money from lonely virgins im so angry guys my fee fees are really hurt im gonna donate my money to all the real streamers instead
Something something economics of scale free capitalism. If you're providing a service to hundreds of thousands of people by yourself alone, why shouldn't you be paid a lot for it? You might hate their content and think some big streamers only appeal to the lowest common denominator with goofy faces, rage clips, dyed hair, etc but you cant deny they offer a service no less important than others in the industry. If someone wants to give a streamer $5 a month because they enjoy watching them why are you blaming the streamers for accepting it?
I think I’ve posted about 20 times in my life in twitchchat (probably half of those when coordinating a wow raid with a >50 viewer streamer). It just seems pointless to me, no one’s gonna see it and I know beforehand my post won’t have any value. So why post at all?
The weirdest shit is people treating twitch chat as a chat room to meet their friends. I’ve seen this multiple times while having a stream on in the background, there’s people just talking about their lives and random shit, completely ignoring the stream. I guess it’s some social outlet for them, but it just seems weird. Why not dm them your discord or something if you regularly talk with that person?
Also, she’s generally fucking weird. Have a 5 minute conversation face-to-face with amouranth and any lingering attraction should dissipate.
Logan Rogers
Because that money could go towards far more useful things than bottom of the barrel entertainment. This is going to sound dystopian, but sometimes people need to be told how they should spend their money. See: Taxes. Honestly we need to put a cap on personal wealth throughout the entertainment industry based on the category.

Robert Thompson
I get the point of Subscribing since there's an actual tangible benefit (no slow mode, "cool" emotes, cool symbols in chat), but what the fuck is the point of fucking DONATING? it's 1 way road, and you are giving money to someone who's probably already well-off instead of giving it to those who're having financial difficulties like homeless/starving people. It's so stupid. I can't fathom this.
Angel Cruz
watching some gameplay is how i decide if i want ti play the game not ot mention some games i would never bother playing at all and would just rather listen to someone play while i do something else
James Bell
if people told me that I can't spend my money the way I want then I wouldn't work and I pay taxes for the services that the government provides, police so I don't get robbed and killed, an army so another country doesn't kill me and takes my house, firefighters so my city doesn't burn down, infrastructure so I have roads, water, etc etc it's not like I don't understand what I pay taxes for
James Evans
I cut cable and allocated that monthly amount of money for my favorite twitch streamers, AMA
>watch big streamer >enjoy stream, ignore chat, thus removing the one part about twitch that makes it unique-the ability to socialize with your community in real time >watch small streamer >able to socialize with other members of the community and the streamer alike, have a good time, however stream quality is usually far less, and streamer makes less effort to try and entertain and focus on game instead It's a pick your poison thing, really.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t on purpose. It’s just so uncanny that I really couldn’t be sure. It’s like talking to a human version of an automated customer service email account

Camden Sullivan
You can spend it how you want within reason. You shouldn't be spending that much on frivolous entertainment. Also we need to force people into working on otherwise remove them from society.
Angel Allen
Streaming is comfy when watching/streaming for friends.
Thomas Ross

Owen Ross
I'm not poor because I manage my money by not spending it on stupid things, like donating and subbing to streamers while I can watch them for free.
Brayden Williams
>It’s like talking to a human version of an automated customer service email account Shit, I really need the story/convo now user. Did she ask you to rate her service at the end?
I'll spend it all on frivolous entertainment because that's what makes me happy in this god forsaken world, then remove me I don't give a shit, I won't work if I can't have fun with the money I earn

Twitch is only cancer because of the interaction. There would be nothing wrong with it otherwise.
Tyler Bailey
I fucking hate when I get a notice that some stream is starting and then they read out new subs for 20 minutes straight. Even if I was subbed I’d hate it, reading out all that stuff means I get less of the content I actually payed for. I guess these people must not see it that way and genuinely pay for getting mentioned
Cameron Powell

She's not even that pretty. She just knows what angle works for her and how to do make-up. Plus she does that whole "I'm not like those other girls, I'm cool and chill and one of you ;)" thing
The worst thing is that this exact same shit was already happening 30 years ago with BBS forum emoticons ::smoke
Blake Russell
>I fucking hate when I get a notice that some stream is starting and then they read out new subs for 20 minutes straight If you're watching a stream huge enough to get 20 minutes worth of thanking new subs each day, you're watching a stream that's too big. Try a more niche stream if you want pure "content value".
Brandon Richardson
She looks like a muppet
Justin Baker
oy vey
Kayden Ward

Angel Sanchez
some streamers help the community though. especially with smaller games. and especially with fighting games.
John Robinson
Wait people still watch this shit? It's worse than broadcast TV YouTube and cable/satellite paid TV combined
there are one or two streamers i watch occasionally, but what confuses the fuck out of me is why people are driven to actually join the chat. what compels people to even bother typing emotes and shit there?
Eli Ward
if you hate dogs you're a filthy soulless subhuman and deserve nothing but a swift death
looks like she's less relevant now and forced into doing softcore porn. if i were her husband i would be mad as fuck and prob pour acid on her face to save family honor.
Headlines like that are stupid clickbait. Either way our quality of living is still higher than anywhere else in the world.
Kevin Diaz
Why do people even bother posting in chat outside of small channels? Actual discussion is drowned out by emotes, and no one cares if someone added a single emote to the emote spam.
>okay I was foolish and you exploited my weakness which was quite mean of you >so I'll go and let another girl do the same thing to me again, take that!
I don't normally watch the bigger streams but god gamer Moonmoon_OW is a guilty pleasure.

Is there anything more pathetic than using that Twitch emote+ thing? Imagine spending so much time watching other people play video games and being such an attention whore you need to spam the chat with pictures

Owen Green
dont you like balding glass wearing guys in thirties?
Andrew Rogers
too bad the stress of him discovering his main channel manager had a furry homoerotic fascination with him is going to cause him to dip the fuck out soon. he'll stop streaming within a year, screencap this.

Jason Foster
Kind of irrelevant but you know when people draw a picture and Twitch chat is on it and it's totally made up but entirely 100% accurate to how Twitch chat would react to it? That's my favorite.
I knew something seemed off about Vinny recently, he seemed way more lethargic than his usual lethargic self. Hell I'm surprised this affected him at all considering how long he's been going and all the bullshit he's put up with.
Carter Baker
Tim and Eric?
William Murphy
Not to mention how snappy and shitty he's gotten at chat lately.
Twitch is pretty fun. I do it with no cam or bells and whistles on occasion. I just like random people talking shit or dropping game knowledge even if its only one guy.
Jace Mitchell
>not using FFZ filters to get rid of all of the bullshit I never see tranny flags or horny furries at all anymore, add enough filters and all thats left are the normal people who just want to chat.
Lucas Ross
I always hide the chat and just enjoy the stream while doing something else including playing games, I subscribe to a few because it's great for me to support those that provide me with entertainment.
Oliver Russell
This, except I don't subscribe because I'm poor and just wait to get a random gifted sub
Evan Diaz
most americans that answer those surveys live in shitholes like LA with autistic high rent prices, combined with low education leads to people living paycheck to paycheck.
You're tipping for entertainment, it's basically the modern equivalent of throwing a dollar in the hat of some guy playing guitar on the street corner. Whether or not the streamer did something actually deserving of the money is another story.
Easton Murphy
don't be so pepega, monkahm

Only streams I watch are for Cities Skylines and other tycoon/sim games. Unironically those are the best ones.

Good shit just watching some cities build.
Brayden Cook
Literally what is this chart?
Josiah Garcia
I mean if I could get 500 people to donate me a dollar, I'd praise Twitch, but I can't so I hate it.
Luke Roberts
Based. Yea Forums would be a better place without those twitch kiddies.
>Usually play coffee house jazz or lowfi hip hop. >Personalities are never cringy heh
Anthony Nelson

Nathan Bailey
Nah, Twitch isn't bad if you know how to use it and avoid the big popular streamers. I haven't read a review or given clicks to """journo""" faggots in years because I can hop on Twitch anytime and check out an unadulterated look at a new game. That, and follow highly skilled players who are actually good at games instead of screaming reactors.
Elijah Richardson
>Using trash cliche reaction face The irony.
Hunter Roberts
I miss Stamper. Even his Newgrounds friends lost contact.
Clint is probably the only streamer I am not completely ashamed to admit I watch. I think his Poly Bridge run was my favourite thing he's done, his variety streamer days were some high-class entertainment.
Justin Smith
This, the top .5% will be fine unless they do incredibly dumb shit and live where the cost of living is insane, like iceposeidon, but the rest are going to be fucked with long years of unemployment and absolutely no discernible skills. Twitch, like YouTube, isn't going to sit by and let people on their platform make the lion's share of the money. They already tried to cut into donations with bits, wouldn't surprise me if within 2-3 years they've outlawed third party donation entirely and completely slashed the cut streamers get from subs. Can't happen soon enough, IMO.
Bentley Thompson
Moustachespider clip is kino.
Christopher Wilson
Dont you mean after?
Cooper Adams
Imagine the fallout when they do the exact same thing YouTube did a couple years ago with monetization
From what i can extrapolate, you need maybe 1000+ regular stream watchers to get the subs/tips/ad revenue needed for a middle class westerner's income and you dont start making six digits unless you're getting 10,000+ watchers regularly
but i do see a whole lot of regular streamers with like 500 or less subs, but from what i gather its not a side gig but they work full-time hours on their streaming
or maybe sponsorships give you big dosh?
Michael Baker
I want senpai to notice me.
Nathan Thompson
Humanatm.
Owen Williams
500 or less regular viewers* current views != subcount obviously
Brody Morris
It's started already, it seems like people get significant bans at the drop of the hat if they don;t toe the squeaky clean corporate line. (If you're male, at least.)
Grayson Sanchez
It's neighbors wi-fi, free entertainment you fucking poseur bitch.
Jack Martinez
PEPEGA POGGERS KAPPA LUL SHUT UP HAAahAAA
Anthony Martin
Seething reddit tranny cope
Isaiah Edwards
It depends, if the streamer does merch and sponsorships or even go as low as donation goals it could really boost the income.
I have a twitch account I only stream for a couple of close friends.I’m not the greatest at games but I use this as motivation to finish my back log have people watching you really gets you to finish what you start I’m almost done with Blooone whole unit.

Only redeeming fact about Twitch chat is that it makes faggots like OP assmad
Nolan Sullivan
that's all that fags on cytube ever do >bu-but it's bad when they do it! at least complain about the actual stupid shit, like BUYING emotes
Daniel Cox
Why are you so mad, brah?
Robert Hernandez
That's not how that works, twitchfags.
Wyatt James
twitch is kino, it lets you connect with a lot of other humans and spamming the same emote makes you one aka "chat" you become as one and reach nirvana it's like doing acid but not cool or good
I hate to be a moralfag but the shit that it does to kids is genuinely awful. A godless world has given us these streamers that these children worship these false idols whether it's donations or retarded twitch emotes or white knighting. I honestly thought it was a joke but honestly that shit is so bad it made me go back to church.
Jeremiah Perez
Imagine being an such a soulless mindless underage faggot who can only spout you mad over and over just like how you spam twitch emotes when your favorite streamer tells you too like the NPC bots you are.
this nigger's a raging liberal faggot deserves the rope
Cooper James
Imagine being so stupid that you think Donald Trump is qualified to wipe his own ass, let alone hold a janitorial job at McDonalds. Oh wait, you let him do what?
Lighten up brah. We're all gonna fucking die, might as well have some fun.
Logan Russell
unironically kill yourself
Anthony Brooks
I mean it really depends I guess. I know streamers who average over 100 a night and don't really get much when it comes to tips, donations or subs, mean while I also knew quite a few that have fans that just love throwing money everywhere and they aren't even female.
The thing is that you do really have to network, sell out a bit, cheat the system if you really want to make livable money off twitch all while also treating twitch like a regular job too.
Robert Flores

You know you guys claim to hate these liberal safespaces a lot but you sure you get pissy when it's about you.
