What is the brain rot among people that shit tier low effort bollocks like twitch not just survives, but thrives...

Basically they don't have friends and that is a replacement for them

when i watch a film i never feel like paypaling the millionaire director a chunk of my paycheck

>I just want to fit in
Try and keep up user.

ok we get it OP you are jealous of success

How fucking lonely is the average person nowadays? I mean, I'm a shut-in NEET, I watch some parasocial YouTube stuff, but I figured my situation was on the extreme end of it. This shit is endemic; how much general loneliness does it reflect?

99% of movies are trash
if you pay money for any media content you're a chump

Stop thinking you have a relationship with screens and pixels user, you fucking bot

people do not know how to entertain themselves, they are always bored despite having access to the total sum of human creation and knowledge within seconds.
It is the collective mental illnesses that enable this economy, much like tiktok endless scrolling.

As for the subscriptions/donations, this is simply the extension of the early years of camwhores on porn websites: people crave attention and they want the illusion of being loved, so they will give away everything they have so that the moving pixels on a screen in front of them appear to speak to them (even for a couple seconds only).

You are healthy if you are not in these systems, but do not let them affect your mental health by making you angry for no benefit.

funny how this website can foster so many different shit in it

>friends stream
>we form a community over the game

when the generation that was raised on discord and twitch become adults it's gonna be real weird

You're telling me that parasociality isn't what drives Twitch culture?

Psychopaths and Pandora's box is what drives Twitch "culture".
They are adults and none of them have children user, shit will be dead in ten years replaced by VR world simulation.

meds

Some reason people watch those reaction channels on YouTube

fuck off jew, im not taking your heliocentric trash

meds, NOW

no, go eat a baby faggot

>fans give money to streamers to tell them how shitty their lives are
If you're dumb enough to give money to a streamer, it's not really a shock your life is shitty and you absolutely deserve it too.

Even more hilarious is how streamers blatantly hate all of their fans, despite having one of the easiest jobs ever.

someone isn't posting POGGERS content today, you are being a react andy right now

UH HEY BROTHERMAN, YOU MISSED MY LAST MESSAGE, GUESS I'LL HAVE TO DROP ANOTHER $20

>second job
mods are either basement dwellers mooching off their elderly parents or independently wealthy trust fund kids. none of them possess a first job.

Poor chaps don't know they can watch compilation vids without this cancer spliced in.

kys kike

Recommend me some streamer that played Elden Ring and meticulously cleared every bit of land, every dungeon and looted every item while appreciating the lore and visuals.

there's a channel like that for kojima games, dunno if there's one for soulsborne games tho

GOOOOOD MORNING Twitch chat.

>OhMyDog NotLikeThis

ARE. YOU. READY????

You're asking this question in the wrong place. This place is full of these twitch zoomers. You'll see the occasional thread where they talk about their favorite streamers and circlejerk some twitch memes and such.

Social media unironically turns you into a brain dead zombie.

These Twitch Streamers are bringing in the big bucks too.
And in an American Capitalistic society, that means they're more successful than you.
Hell, some of the bigger twitch streamers are probably more successful than everyone in this thread put together.
I think instead of asking why Twitch exists, you instead need to ask yourself:
Why did I fail America?

I think I read something exactly-that-kind-of similar on /x/ back during my pic related youth, about replacing conventional religion with media religion and how christianity was fabricated in the same way and that christian god is god of merchants and thieves when translated by tetragrammaton.
Can you explain parasociality in layman terms? I have no idea what it is.

@forsen :FeelsWeirdMan:

It's a friend simulator

Most game are so tedious that people would rather watch them than play them. Most video games suck dick. Sad.

A lot of those streamers are leftists too, which is ironic for all the hate they give capitalism they literally live the most capitalistic life imaginable.

Instead of asking why you failed america, ask why streamers failed marx.

pls meds

>Can you explain parasociality in layman terms? I have no idea what it is.
it basically means you watch someone and then start imagining that they are your friend. it can be a tv show character, an actor/actress, or a social media personality/twitch streamer.
i'm sure there are plenty of weirdos watching twitch who experience this, but the idiots assuming this is the majority of twitch viewers are just suffering from a different variety of the brain rot they're complaining about.

And that friend acts like an influencer while streaming service is selling ideologies? And when most media giants are all part of a few conglomerates, the ideologies get singular.
Well, at least I decided not to give games or streams any cash because fuck merchants.

>A lot of those streamers are leftists too
retarded, stopped reading there

worse, a substitute for them

Stil thousands of good movies
Zero good streams

Some user in a thread yesterday said that Woolie basically did this but it was shit to watch specifically because he was being meticulous.

It's when you develop an unhealthy relationship with a content creator beyond just being a fan of their content. If you're relentlessly giving money and constantly begging for their attention on stream, for example.

>99% of movies are trash
You gonna back that up or...? I agree with , there's a pretty big difference between a movie and stream in terms of the effort put in.

did he say that streaming is an art form? fucking retard can't read

>arguing about opinions
lol. my point was that the popularity of twitch comes from adding a chat room to content. there are channels that stream movies if that makes it any easier for you to understand this very simple concept

>did he say that streaming is an art form? fucking retard can't read
No, but I did in response to him trying to compare movies and Twitch like they're equals. Movies are higher firms of media, maybe you should watch some instead of learning defunct debate tactics from cuckold losers who argue with schizos for a living.

I'm a mod for a cute

mad + wrong

user you're really putting your eggs in a very flimsy basket there

Literally on par with boomer sportsball cult, probably just as low IQ and filled with nigger culture too

Jerma is the only streamer I've ever enjoyed. I use my brother's Amazon Prime so I give him the free sub whenever I remember to do it.

Based, fuck negro charities

she's never falling for you, there's plenty to be had in Canada FYI

But I wouldn't just give my friends money either

Twitch streamers in person have got to be the most insufferable people imaginable. Having people give you money and attention just for playing a video game has not got to be good for the ego. These people without a doubt are some of the most narcissistic, obnoxious humans on Earth. I can't fathom how anyone would find these fucks entertaining and hold any sort of parasocial relationship with them. I think the worst part is how they always have to have the camera on. Not just when gaming, but when eating and doing literally anything. They have to make streaming their entire life. No doubt their life is empty outside of that. Not to mention all the drama that these guys make as well. They are all basically women.
