Why does Twitch chat exist?

Why does Twitch chat exist?
Why do people partake in this shitshow called Twitch chat?
Your messages are like throwing a bucket of sand to Sahara Desert, or pouring a glass of water to the sea.

I understand if it's used to actually talk with people and contact the streamer and possibly ask them questions about things that they are streaming
but majority of streams nowadays go like this:
>streamer plays his shitty game for 15 hours nonstop
>people spam the chat with stupid shit like emotes and pastas, they "laugh" in a choir and sometimes repeat and mimic stuff the streamer just said like parrots
Every time something remotely funny happens, "LUL, LMAOO, LOLOOOOOLOLO, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"
And nobody actually means it, they're just watching the screen of their computers with bloodshot eyes, dry lips, leaning on their hand, staring with empty eyes like a soulless fucking husk of a corpse.

Why do people think their messages would matter in the cesspool of tens of thousands of other spam comments?
Why won't majority of the streamers use the slow mode to reduce the spam and to actually filter most of the shit to see the comments that actually matter?

I love channels with very few followers / subs because you get to actually communicate with others and the streamers themselves.

Where did they go wrong with it and how should they fix it?
I say they should disable it altogether

In this post: all Twitch chat is GDQ/E3/MOBA chat

Fucking hell OP, visit some smaller streams sometime

why do people watch other people play video games at all? i still can't wrap my mind around twitch as a whole, let alone the clusterfuck of a chatbox.

>there was someone upset enough about a website to make this image

truly makes you ponder

jesus

yeah I'm not reading all that

post twitch sluts

>nobody actually means it, they're just watching the screen of their computers with bloodshot eyes, dry lips, leaning on their hand, staring with empty eyes like a soulless fucking husk of a corpse.

I don't like twitch meme chat either but hot damn that is some huge projection there

Because it makes human beings feel good about supporting their favorite live streamer you shit lord

fuck my boner

YOU HAVE TO DONATE TO TALK TO THE STREAMER AHHAHAAHAHAH EVERY +3K VIEWER STREAMER

>Add Kappa at the end of a sentence
>Suddenly people laugh at your comment like it's the funniest thing ever

Large viewer streams generally are garbage like that with their chat. For example the difference between SingSing chat as it is now, and the SingSing chat when he started streaming years ago. You could actually talk with the fucker in his goddamn stream instead of it being cancer 24/7.

>Why do people partake in this shitshow called Twitch chat?

it's fun

>Hey faggot streamer how are you today? We're friends right?
>Why are you streaming at 2 a.m. ?????
>Goodnight everyone !!!

>twitch chat
It's just underage lads chimping out, OP.
Give em a break

Because it's fun.

thousands of people watching something and when they fuck up it's funny to spam the same shit in chat and watch it all fly past.

Did you not watch the bob ross twitch? Did you not join in spamming RUINED and SAVED when he made one single brush stroke?

Post more twitch bitches. Or links to galleries where they get the goods out.

Sometimes I watch some streams with not many people watching, like the Overwatch player cocco, from Envyus, and the chat's pretty comfy and he actually answers most of the questions.
>But why would you watch instead of playing the game
Sometimes I just want to watch an actual good player playing my favorite heroes so I can learn a thing or two.

>censoring the names

>tfw no twitch slut gf

Kappa

>But why would you watch instead of playing the game.

Because my toaster can barely even run html5 twitch viewer at 30 fps.

>that image
so basically posts in a stickied thread here

>Beta faglords pay money to some bitch to do a handstand
This world is doomed

I used to do it to kill time, nice watching streamers who know how to play the game doing shit too. Used to watch a stream for World of Tanks so you got to see how he played and learn from it.

if this is the one i think it is, viewers send her underwear sets and she posts herself wearing it on instagram

she also sends nudes to people who donate a certain amount or sub for a certain length of time from her personal snapchat

hey man it's all trial and error fellow friend and neighbor

Some smaller streams are pretty nice. DDRJake's stream is pretty comfy, expecially when he streams lewd games and pretend hes not into them.

>Kasich nose

twitch chat in small channels with a few hundred viewers with a handful of people from the same (usually dead) community where everyone, including the streamer, knows each other is pretty comfy.

...

>streamer says mildly funny thing
>chat member says the same thing

For what purpose?

isn't she on chaturbate?

VIDEO GAMES

I know NovaPatra is on MFC.

Like a year ago when the spam was almost all ridiculous copypastas it was pretty funny, especially since the streamer would almost always read it at some point and get upset. But now it's mostly just emote spam which is totally pointless.

Truth to be told, I dont watch streams of simple gameplay
If there's something I watch, it's Games Done Quick.
The cancer that I've witnessed is mostly from youtube videos that include twitch chat in them.

>Trannies Done Quick
>2016

What's wrong with you?

>the thigh gap
>the ass

holy fucking jesus

It's a friend simulator for lonely losers.

Go find a smaller stream anything big like esports events or streamers with 15-20k+ viewets is pure cancer.

>they're just watching the screen of their computers with bloodshot eyes, dry lips

Pretty much what I think anytime someone types lol into any chat. Some Twitch chats are cool though, especially the ones that move at a decent pace.

The huge channels with fast chats really are cancer where everyone is trying to suck up to mods, or the caster. It's like most of those weirdos ignore even each other and if you so much as ask a question related to the game, you get ignored by 1k+ people.

The only two girl gamers I ever enjoyed watching were BrittanyVenti and Kaceytron, and that's just because their casts were an act. The only people who really hated them were 'spergy retards who didn't get it was an act, but then I see cunts (literally because she showed hers on cam) like LegendaryLea who make all girls look stupid.

I have twitch open all day just so I have something in my ears while playing since I don't have any friends...

I honestly wonder how sad the guys that just sit there spamming their XD LMAO EMOTES

chest freckles

the only reason her ass looks like that is because she is suffering from lordosis.

peaches and CREAM

The bigger question is why do people give money to streamers?

I don't understand why someone would give money to a streamer so they can have fun. The amount of donations bigger channels get is outrageous.

Posting best Twitch girl.

This,
I enjoy watching chips, cocoo, Harryhook and Internethulk. Their chats aren't filled with shitty fucking emotes and memes and they answer most questions.

Literally the objectively best twitchfu right here.

No, that's Cred Forums

>dead corpses

As opposed to live ones?

Better pic.

thats not kacy

ironic attention whoring is still attention whoring so I've never felt that 'it's just an act' was a legitimate defense

People who donate to them are still on the level of people who do stuff like

I know it's annoying for dudes that moderately attractive sluts can do so much better for themselves streaming video games despite being orders of magnitude less skilled and knowledgeable, but it must REALLY fucking suck for ugly chicks who are genuinely into games.

why do girls like hearthstone and wow so much?

Fuck my parents for bearing a deformed manlet, I wish I could fuck girls like this.

Fuck my life, back to video games

>$544 donation

Jesus christ

>ironic attention whoring is still attention whoring so I've never felt that 'it's just an act' was a legitimate defense

They make retards 'sperg out though, which is far more entertaining than glorified cam whoring.

If you could make a good living just playing video games and trolling people I'm sure you'd be at least tempted.

...

Nobody expects them to be good at it.

More focus on luck and no reliance on reaction speed in case of HS and the prevalence of social interaction in wow.

Hearthstone, like almost any card game, involves the better skilled player having a limited edge over their opponent. There's almost always a chance you can win no matter who you are and who you're playing.

World of Warcraft, like almost any MMO, will invariably reward you for the time you have invested. It helps to be skilled, but it's not a requirement.

tl;dr they're two games where it's literally impossible to fail 100% of the time.

...

>mfw, what I assume are young kids or tweens, people post about their life to the streamer as if the streamer gives a shit

I remember seeing someone posting that they were getting braces and asking the streamer for advice. That's when it struck me how sad surrogate friends are.

What drives a person to this level of broken sanity?

soy

Just ignore it then retard.

The smaller streamers are much better with chat, and I like watching how people approach certain games (though I stream more than watch).

It's a bit tough finding someone who isn't a sperg of some sort but they're out there.

Because they are popular

neck yourself

>people that watch titty streamers for hours a day

>gachigasm
>started finding it funny
i think my transformation to normie is almost complete

The reason people partake in it is because they can then say they 'belong to a group', especially if they're subscribed to some streamer cunt so they got the mark of circlejerk next to their name and they can spam so funneh emotes in chat. Especially if someone new joins so the chat is full of the streamer's "signature" emote.

You've literally never done this when you were a kid?

I sincerely doubt gachimuchi will ever truly become normie simply because of the nature of it.

>tfw the stupid LUL emote wont be banned
>twitch wont disable BTTV or anything

I just equate it to shitposting.

sometimes you just want to act like a fucking tool.

Are you implying Cred Forums is any better? Twitch chat is a live version of Cred Forums

>triggered by LUL

ULU

Lemme crunch the numbers and get back to you about that.

>any thread either turns to autistic waifu shit or porn shit

fucking hell.

>tfw want to whore gf out on twitch but her breasts are too small

if they would atleast play decent game I would be fine, but they just sell their bodies
the games are only a sidenote

Watched other people game for fun? Nope.

Only had a little sister and the internet was still dial up when I hit adulthood. If you played with friends, it was 2player games... don't get it.

that gap and ass should be illegal

...

Do you think the same thing about people who watch sports?

...

>that slow fall and turn and look back to make sure the ass got in the shot

I mean, good job for playing to your strengths, but how fucking brain dead are people for not thinking that shit is staged?

It's more like they know and don't care.

But those people allows the twitch camwhores/sluts to exist. Same for those who seriously donate and subscribe to people like kacey, because they're being "le ironic" when in fact their actions then allows existence of camwhores to an extent, because people like kacey are what those camwhores look up to. So, in this case those people who don't care or whatever are part of the problem. Although I'm fairly sure some twat will come out of woodwork to defend camwhores.

NOT VIDEO GAMES

...

Kappa!!! XD

if i got a pic of cleavage and put that under my face would i get banned off twitch?

man imagine being a cute teenage girl in 2016

would be pretty fun

depends on how much tiddy you show

>when you get torn to pieces by twitch chat because you ask a innocent question and get bandwagon tackled

as much as kacey

who is this? she is perfect

Why does Cred Forums always get so upset about female streamers? Most of them barely get over 500 viewers and the big time streams get far more donations.

think of it as "the wave" and such in football games and it becomes enjoyable

>when you make a spelling mistake and twitch chat pauses at that exact moment

Nah. Smaller streams are prone to forming small communities that become cliques. This is usually really bad for the streamer, as cliques try to be very elitist and inclusive and stand offish with those not in the clique, and this is the exact opposite of what a streamer needs to grow. Had a couple of small streams with great streamers that I've left because the community was a circlejerk clique with mods siding with whoever has seniority.

...

Obviously you have never been to niconico.

I've realized certain things trigger twitch chat more than black people trigger Cred Forums.

i want sex

Why do people like douchebags? All the biggest streamers are like Grade A assholes who treat all their viewers like pure garbage and abuse the shit out of people. Witwix, admiralbahroo, dansgaming, lirik, sodapoppin, etc.

You'd certainly have plenty of lucrative opportunities available to you, that's for certain.

You're right but I think the bigger you are the more distant you become. You already had 5 subs in the past 10 minutes why bother thanking the next 5 excessively.

Because plenty of other streams twice your size can? Dans game can't say a thing to someone subbed to him for 5 years, but another 15k streamer can, who has 3 times the viewers Dan gets.

Also I wasn't talking about "sub" or donation shout outs. I'm talking these people actively fuck with their viewers

>dansgaming makes up rules on the fly and bans people retroactively for it, puts chat in massive slow modes for no reason, taunts his viewers constantly
>Witwix literally permabans people for no reason and just picks out people when he looks at chat sometimes and permabans them. Even subs
>Bahroo taunts non-subs when going into sub mode, is snide and unappreciative to donators or subs, and bans people at the slightest provocation
>sodapoppin is literally an entitled manchild who went on a tangent about being owed beta keys for OW because "I'm a big streamer!"

It's either because of:
-children
-autism

that's all there is to say about it.

>Realize there are legal adults on this board who grew up when streaming was a thing

I feel old as fuck.

>summit
>says "my negev" and uses asian voices
>bans people for putting trihard in his chat

I was 19 by the time Youtube launched

Didn't he also state people were stealing from him if they watched his streams without donating or subbing?

Also that reminds me. Bahroo bans people fo "lul" or any other sort of laughing emote when he gets salty.

Ray's twitch chat is the only one I've ever taken part in.

lul is legit an annoying emote but he should be a bitch about it

People want to feel included in what is going on, I liken it to when there is a sticky and faggots here just spam it for the sake of making the post count higher, whereas on twitch people like to see the chat move as fast as possible. Other than that, there are a few sad individuals that are literally convinced that they are having a 1 on 1 convo with the streamer among the hundreds/thousands of other fags spamming chat. It's really quite baffling/sad.

If these people are going to stream for a living, why don't any of them bother to get a good chair, like a Steelcase Leap v2 / Steelcase Gesture, or a Herman Miller Aeron?

Why the fuck do they use a $100 ikea chair if they're going to literally make their living by sitting down and playing video games?

>Your messages are like throwing a bucket of sand to Sahara Desert, or pouring a glass of water to the sea.

It's like pissing into an ocean of piss

>Why does Twitch chat exist?
For smaller streams not filled with retarded 13 year olds.

probably w8in on that inevitable free 'gamer chair' in the post once they are big enough

I rarely "watch" streams, even for the people I like.
I just tune in then alt tab to do other things

But I still put them on because I've developed liking white noise when I play.

this. smaller streamers usually have good chats.

This is why you watch non meme streamers op or people who are not popular streamers

what happened to that crazy Greek girl who used to cry and yell?

and everyone sent trolling donations that would set her off?

>that major lordosis

always wanted to know what font is it

whyd the slut posting stop

>porn industry has videos faking a streamer forgetting a cam is on or losing a bet to take off clothes

Whelp.

>tfw drunk donated almost $500 to a chill girl streamer

Froggen's a lucky dude

>livestreamer is now broken
>the only workaround requires you to have a Twitch account

I don't think I'll ever watch anything on Twitch ever again.

>use disposable email

...

>broken

What happened?

tfw you tried to tell your sister to whore herself out on twitch for easy money and she told you to fuck off
I was only trying to help, sis.

nice

Twitch stopped accepting anonymous requests, therefore livestreamer now requires you to have an access token, which can only be generated if you have an account, try and see for yourself.

I love watching them get triggered by haHAA

dont let her talk to you like that
