True, I can see the appeal of small Twitch channels where you have a reasonable chance of actually interacting...
...but so many of the larger channels ...
chat is literally an overwhelming barrage of randomness
so, so many streamers develop gigantic egos, and then get into fights with other similar people.
Kik is even worse. While many of the popular people on Twitch have serious personality disorders, Kik seems to legitimately just be streams of gambling and the worst person you knew in high school being paid to commit crimes.
There is this whole group of crime, sociopathic streamers it’s disgusting. I hate to see many people enjoy those things and that I share the planet with them as they watch streamers beat up their moms or smh
This is the filthiest filth out there you can feel. apparently some pay to feel that. Modern colloseums
The 00's internet had ogrish and bumfights.
That shit was waaay more fucked up in terms of content, but it was also extremely niche.
I have met tons of kids and young adults that act nearly identically to kik streamers or the more insane twitch streamers.
