that's what the streamers want because it encourages people to send donation messages instead.
go watch someone whos chat is constantly spammed with emojis etc like XQC
people literally paying anywhere up to hundreds of dollars to have their message read out on the stream by an artificial voice. (TTS = Text To Speech)
it's literally insane, I think the minimum on most channels is like 2-4 dollars for a TTS.
yet people will spend 100x that

I've sat there and watched a stream in order to gain some drops for a game and the chat was literally a blur, it was moving so fast that you had no chance of reading anything.

I gave someone a bit? or something I got free with amazon prime. Got a shout out. Highlight of my life. Never watched any twitch since.
I think 1 bit is like £0.10 or so in value.
prime still gives you a free sub right? I think the streamer only gets half as much cash than they would from a regular sub though

I sympatise with streamers who sniped. It's like playing against cheaters constantly. Sure some streamers will over react and call sniper to every death but you don't know if these clips are the first time coolboy69 has killed them or the 17th.
Don't forget these guys can have very little job security. A LoL streamer got banned for saying idiots cause multiple twitch staff objectively heard the n-word. Search TF Blade idiots if you want the clip (not linking cause swearies).
So you should probably maximise income and grow your audience whilst you can. Therefore streaming a popular game that you enjoy is a win-win-win and the stream snipers can ruin it. Most of them are more angry at rhe devs for not adding very simple fixes whilst being very aware of how much streaming benefits their game. Took PUBG over 2 years to add a streamer mode that anonymisers streamers but in true pubg fashion it didn't help cause they showed up in the killfeed as #unknown so you knew a streamer was in game.
A prime sub gets a regular streamer $2.50, same as a tier 1 sub.

I was surprised to see a British radio/broadcaster getting into twitch last night. Iain Lee with Katherine Boyle.
You've probably seen him on the Sky News morning and paper shows as well as Good Morning Britain stand-ins and Absolute Radio reading Wiki.
"On 2 June 2020, Lee announced that his contract at Talkradio was not renewed. On 10 July, the pair issued a press release confirming they had been signed by internet streaming service Twitch, and would re-launch the program on 20 July."
It's mainly an interactive talk phone in show without the professionalism and screened out problems. There were so many prank calls over Skype to his stream. One even said he wanted to kill his co-host.
It's frightening at times seeing what a cesspit most people are like and how they behave.
If you are watching someones stream and hunt them down you're cheating

Don’t streamers set a delay to stop this?
LOL at using CompletedItMate.

Jay has been streaming for a long time I think, even when he was acting.
Not usually as they cant interact with their chat in the same way.
Good apology? Are you for real? It was cringe watching it let alone it felt like a mockery parody. I have no idea who he is but it was beyond cringe.

No you're not. You're using a publicly accessible, and perfectly legal, resource to aid your gameplay. If this upsets some crybaby manchild, then tough ****.
