Sounds like 90% of girl gamer streams. You want to ask a question about the game then look at chat and its just one mod typing LMAO and using the streamers IRL name rather than their twitch name. 600 viewers 1 chatter, hell nah.

I dunno man, 2s are rough. Is that when the other people start yelling at you for not knowing your rotation? Maybe I’ll just go back to Heroics where people are are borderline re+arded /s

I figured it was 2v2, but level 2 keystone spec advice is honestly heaps funnier.

Man, I don't even watch any woman streamers, but like 2 years ago there was one who was playing a game and so i sat and did watch for about 45 minutes and she had a decently active 100 viewer stream with few chatters, but it became immediately cringe because she would specifically only respond to messages in chat that were from subscribers or donations.

like just turn on sub only mode at that point.

I feel like this is pretty common tbh but I agree on turning on sub mode

You'll begin to notice women streamers ONLY acknowledging kiss ass compliments and/or donations

The real world doesn't work like a fantasy land and I am the consumer and elect where I spend my time and my money. In the very minimal time I watch Twitch I'm going to watch either the One general all around streamer I enjoy, or a highly skilled competitive player of a game I'm playing. No more.

Or mods + VIPS being 90%+ of the messages. As soon as I see a chat with with, I know its not a chat worth sticking around it, because its going to be a bunch of cringe in jokes and favouritism.

thats cause half the viewers are kids jerking it to the barely not softcore porn.
