Are twitch stream viewers mentally ill?

People really donate their millenial unemployment dollars to internet celebrities who are already making 100k+ per year just so that they can get their name read out loud? Why do people do this?

Are these streamers taking advantage of children? Or just those with no friends who get excited whenever a streamer says "we" instead of "I" in order to make the individual feel as though the streamer is talking directly to them? And then fooling them into thinking that they can start streaming themselves in order to make money by playing video games in front of people?

I don't understand this phenomenon.

Its all the same shit really
Yes socializing is unnecessary
But people enjoy it

You pay the bar for drinks
You pay your monthly fee for the mmo
You pay your internet bills to talk online
You pay your streamer host to keep streaming

The only thing that changed is powerful people just made the only free thing we enjoy cost money

And now people dont even have to leave the house

>>379067552
I very rarely donate, but if someone entertains me then it's worth my money. For instance Khaldor did a HotS tournament where all the bans stacked throughout the series, so by the end of a best of 5 or 7 almost all of the meta heroes were gone and teams were making funky comps that you never get to see. Which I want to see more of, so I donated

They donate a buck or two so they can take a screenshot and brag to their friends at school/gaia.

People had to do a lot more for a lot less to get acknowledged by their heroes before the Internet.

Body guard. I'd shed my boss' ass the second my own life was in danger, as would anyone I've met in the biz.

I also live in a town where a McDonalds manager could mortgage and pay off a house in less than ten years, so the 'get rich' thing is relative, just like "Twitch celebrities getting rich".

If you have ever donated to a twitch channel just to get a couple of seconds of attention, then you need to rethink what you want to do with you life.

2x worse if it's a girl. 10x if it's a girl that shit at games.
>>
I really don't get it.

I watch a stream where $5 lets you play a song. So many people will donate to play meme songs like loud ear rape, bass, ironic funny songs etc

Probably a lot of young people. Kids and shit doing it.

You have to remember we never grew up with this kind of shit being available. Who knows what we all would be like as young kids with all this technology.

To be quite frank people that choose to 'do' twitch tend to be people who are completely lost in life both personally and professionally, often have little to no friendship circle and very rocky family relations. They use twitch as a coping mechanism to justify spending absurd amounts of time on videogames in attempt to avoid the responsibility of actualized life.

>>379067552

Do you watch TV? You see those ads that show up? That's what pays for your entertainment.

You pay for Netflix? What about your internet? You're paying for entertainment.

Twitch has ads but they don't give much money. So you toss a guy $5/month for entertainment. Celebrities get paid for entertaining the masses. Its no different than watching your favorite streamer or youtuber, & tossing a few bucks their way.

>>379074323
Then there are streams where the streamer reads out every fucking donation or retard question. So it's just a clusterfuck of them thanking the donators for hours, and no gameplay. Donating actively makes most streams worse.

Lets Players and e-celebs are taking advantage of the incredibly antisocial setup of modern society by filling in the vacancy of having actual human contact. Whereas nerds used to actually meet up physically and do shit like LAN parties and whatever to provide a socialization opportunity for people who were otherwise highly asocial, now YouTube gives kiddos a chance to feel like they have friends to hang out with and play vidya with. Even though you're not playing the game and you have to pay for the random faggot on the internet to acknowledge your existence with a shout-out. I think it's pretty shitty state of affairs, too, I mean why the fuck do you need other people when you have waifus to keep you company?

I understand wanting to watch games. What I don't understand is the obsession with spamming chat with banal, nonsensical pictures of a dog face. MISSED LE JUMP KAPPA CRYING BABY FACE CAT WITH SUNGLASSES!

>>379067552
>Why do people do this?

Something-something-Nietzsche-Ubermensch. Individuality doesn't seem to be a born human trait. People tend to want to model themselves after someone else, want to worship someone who exemplifies all of "their" values, or wants piggyback another person's social or financial success. At least, that's my understanding of fanboyism. Not very different from partisan politics.
>>
Watching /v/ froth at the mouth about Twitch streamers is one of my favorite things about this board.

I mean, you guys fucking complain so hard about those "Millionaire e-celebs who just rake in autists cash while pretending to be their friend when they thank them for subscribing", but that obviously means you watch them, right?

Like, why would it matter if you didn't? Nigga I know there are people making Youtube videos talking about how the Earth is flat, but I don't watch them, so the fuck do I care? There's a whole section of Youtube for making money playing with kids toys, but I don't watch it, so I don't ever see it.

But you guys apparently sit in these streams and just stew with rage the whole time. Do you? Do you spend your days spamming emotes because you're so mad and you need to "disrupt" their 100mph chat in protest?

Explain your existence to me.
>>
It doesn't matter that for example Pewdiepie has millions, he's getting donations not because he's dying of starvation obviously but because Youtube should be paying him and others, but doesn't anymore.

Because people like his stuff they feel the urge to pay him what Youtube "owes" him and others. It's understandable.

I'm not sure how it is outside of america, but people who donate from america tend to do so because they value the entertainment and feel like tipping the streamer for offering this entertainment

its classic american tipping mentality, you don't have to tip the hotel concierge or the streamer but you do because you can

I'm not justifying anything. I never once mentioned money at all.

I just asked why the concept makes you so mad.

Why does it make you so mad? It's not your money, you're not being forced to watch, and if you don't go looking for Twitch streams you'd never know the site existed.

So either you're angry because of jealousy or...moral indignation over something you watch yourself, but do so "ironically" or while feeling superior to the others doing the same thing. "I watch this huge millionaire streamer, but I'm better than the other 10,000 people in here with me because I don't WANT to be watching."

Honda was bottom tier but he kept playing him because he loves Honda, then he switched it up and went Blanka I think?

I don't see how you can be this confused about basic behavior. I mean I never pay anything to streamers since that seems like a useless way to spend money as I don't get attached to some dude streaming games on the internet, but the basic logistics here are very simple: people pay for entertainment they enjoy.

it's just full of complete and utter losers on both sides

if you have stuck around to watch enough streamers, youll find they all operate in such an eerily similar way that you'd swear that they were all working together to maximize their profits

they all have weird donation incentives, they all have odd catch phrases that they spout whenever someone donates, they all have incredibly fake over-reactive personalities, the only people they pay attention to in their chat are the donators themselves

then you have the viewers who donate and post in the chat who seem to legitimately believe the person they are watching is their friend, to the point where they will post shit that makes it seem like they think they are having a 1 on 1 convo with the streamer among the spam of emotes. they literally donate just so the streamer will pay attention to them for a few short moments

it's literally just losers with webcams taking advantage of the loneliness and boredom of even more pathetic people

>See enough of his streams to recognize the dudes who donate to him every day to get that "biggest penis" spot

The donation culture is what really ruins these streams. Not only are people who love to spend money constantly interrupting streams with meme videos, but the streamer himself pretty much has to go along with it and be grateful for it because that's his "job". So now the streams are just a marathon of donations and subscriptions with some gameplay in between maybe.

Are video game players mentally ill?

People really donate their millenial [sic] unemployment dollars to video game companies who are already making 100k+ per year just so that they press a button to watch a thing happen? Why do people do this?

Are these companies taking advantage of children? Or just those with no friends who get excited whenever a company makes a new video game in order to make the individual feel as though they are accomplishing something? And then fooling them into thinking that they can start playing professionally in order to make money by playing video games in front of people?

I don't understand this phenomenon.

Although it may not personally affect me, the notion that streamers are able to make so much money off of people is ridiculous and rather terrifying.

There's defintely some truth to every anon here's envy toward streamers for what they do, playing vidya and getting paid, but I don't think it's reasonable to use that to deny their opinions on the matter. I have no doubt that if any faggot here wanted to start a twitch channel, they could suck up cash from at least one little shit using a parent's credit card.

Not mentally ill, just lonely. Viewers are usually teenagers-young adults who have no friends at all and are starved for attention and long for friendship. When a streamer comes along with similar interests and a good personality, they donate because it makes them feel like the streamer is their friend. It's a big problem because /v/ tends to focus on female streamers and beta cucks donating, but these male streamers who pretend to be your friend make 1000x more money than them.

It's a couple of things actually, yes it's rich people a lot of the times donating for various reasons. But other times it's kids who got their parents credit cards and tried to chargeback, or the streamers themselves donating to themselves just to hype up stream.

But I suspect that majority are just rich guys, either because they're lonely, wanting to feel powerful (most streamers become complete slaves to these guys just for 1k lmao, cheaper than buying an escort), or because they want to sponsor some idiot speedrunning his childhood game.

Lots of people donate to him saying shit like "here's a bit from my food money for the week because your great."

There's also regular big donators like some guy called Ramen. Who donates like $100+ to him every day.

>More alarming is the fact that kids nowadays prefer to watch someone playing video games instead of playing themselves.
The thing is that most kids don't have access to every vidya since it's gotten really expensive as a hobby these days. Easier just to drop $5 a month using your mom's credit card and get to be in a "community" with perceived "friends" and spam stupid shit to validate your life like

happens all the time.
Some guy in liriks was asking for help with his vet bills and lirik told him to fuck off and he didn't care. liriks a little poo in the loo bitch baby making like 200k-1,000,000 a year and still donation begs from time to time.

And before that request for vet help, he was talking about buying a porsche instead of a new audi.

Literally happens all the time on all the big streamer channels. There's a ton of pathetic people out there who actually think streamers are their friends.

He only plays shooter battle royale games, with whatever game he is addicted to after. He is only popular because he was one of the first streamers.

He does treat his subs like trash, but you can't blame him. He has so many viewers/subs that he can get away with it. Also some of them really are idiotic and follow whatever he does no matter what so they don't care.
Speaking of which, if you stick around long enough. You may see a donation like "p-please unban me, I'm sorry." Pathetic really.

>Generally male streamers need to be at least entertaining
Wrong. Unless you think people with literally no sense of humour like Lirik "entertaining", but in which case you're a child anyways.

Also male streamers tend to make more money than female streamers with tons more viewers. Look at the top 50 channels on Twitch: 99% are all males.

Some streams are better than others. You just have to have the one right for you. For me it's mostly the community that matters the most. Some channels will give you perks for subbing such as voting for sub Sunday.

I've tipped singers and artist I've found on there too which are actually quite talented.

You can find some interesting conversations on some channels as well.

Im split on the "/v/ hates twitch" thing. See, I'll never understand how faggots can donate literally hundreds of dollars to someone playing a video game but at the same time I don't see anything wrong with watching streamers at all. Like Ive used streams to see if I think a game looks fun enough to buy before, I've played games with people who stream, and I've streamed once or twice for friends before. I don't get the blind hate for streaming but I also don't get the fuckhuge donations. Either I'm normal or everyone else is not and I'd like to assume I'm the normal one here.

Kacey...had a hard life. At least going from some of her sub only streams. Comcast has been really shitty for her lately so she didn't stream for a while then came back just recently.

But to answer your question she used to wear alot more revealing shirts and advertise on /b/ with shit like
>this bitch is terrible at wow pvp lets dox her /b/ros
then just lately she went through a phase of being SFW (I think Twitch gave her a warning or something?) where she didn't dress provocatively, would hardly ever swear, and would just be courteous and polite during her streams which turned alot of people off who were just there to get a reaction out of her.

Pretty much, but that's exactly what she was sort of protesting against and why she dressed so proper.

You mean most male streamers who aren't in a professional team?

Envy, not jealousy. So not only are you envious, you're also a retarded fuck.

>Stream on Twitch
>Have audience
>Always constantly say donations aren't mandatory, if you're unsure of donating don't do it, I probably don't deserve donations.
>Still get donations

People have expendable income and like to support what they like. I know that if there's a podcast I really enjoy I don't mind send them a few bucks to help stay afloat.

What's the problem here?

Lirik had to metiphorically suck a lot of dick to get to the position that he was. And all of the big male streamers were at one point known in another field before they got big, like how Summit was a pro Counter Strike player before he started streaming.
All of the top women on Twitch were nothing before they got big themselves, with very few exceptions and event then, most of the time they were girlfriends of popular streamers.

>you dodged the fact that your fallacy is retarded and instead attacked me for using jealousy in place of envy when it doesn't really make a difference.
>"I'm" the retarded fuck

Congratulations, you played yourself.

He became a full time streamer. it what happens when you give up a career to sit on your ass to play video games 8 hours a day when you were never active in the first place.

If you truly felt this way you wouldn't have a donate button at all, but by simply putting one, people will donate. You want donations, you're not modest.

>want to do content full time

I don't need the donations but if there's enough demand to do so then in the future I will. And of course I like getting them, but what I'm saying is I'm not going to stop streaming if I don't get them.
