I like that Alinity girl.

Wellp.

What a joke.
Yeah wtf happened?
The Llama farm mention should have given away that I'm not seriously asking.

"Text to audio" now I understand.
I saw one last week, from a link on GAF, when she kept repeating "stop calling me Jenny, my name's not Jenny" and I was thinking why doesn't she stop reading it?

They banned the whole excessive cleavage thing, they just enforce it poorly. Most of them are the Sears Catalog of webcam shows with a thumbnail of LoL in the corner, but whatever. They're making money for sitting and staring at a camera with a game open for a few hours.

That's nothing new though. "Twitch chat is cancer." is how the monicker goes right? Big streamers put a lot of effort in cultivating a good, friendly viewerbase. But that's another topic entirely, this is just someone taking advantage of the hostility that's already present.
If anyone is interested in seeing the complete opposite of nasty vitriol like this, go check out DJWheat's twitch. That''s possibly the nicest place I've seen on the internet.
Seriously. I don't understand people throwing money at this. This is way beyond free porn, paid porn and even camgirls. The chance of these Twitch girls showing more skin is practically non-existent. They're not going to get what their horny selves want and are basically paying for the chance to bully an actor paid to take the punches. This is how they get to feel better? Talk about depressing.

I've seen this routine before and even that same girl (in the llama video). She starts a stream, plays a bit, then her friends I'm guessing) post on 4chan to raid her channel. She then makes it subscription only chat, and people toss their money in to make the robot-chat thing say vile things. The idiots think they are, "totally trolling her", she cries, yells, says stop a bunch. Then white-knights use the same method to console her and try to make her feel better. After a little bit she cries more and kills the stream.
A tornado of stupid.

It's the accent and she is very pretty.
I just donated £30 (not sure what that is in dollars) but she wen offline and just missed my donation. I'll have to donate again when she starts streaming.
Haters gon' hate. She's making the hustle.
The effort is not really the issue, it's whether it's appropriate for the venue/platform. If Twitch wants to allow this sort of thing, it affects the perception of their content and purpose. That's fine, this is still new and they're still defining their service. If Twitch is cool with people using their platform gimmicky internet busking (for lack of a better term), it just makes Twitch much less appealing of a platform for a lot of potential viewers.

Oh god I am glad I found this thread. Been dying to read / talk to others about this.
I normally ONLY watch hearthstone streams (helps me fall asleep) / anything giantbomb on twitch and somehow I ended up watching this helenalive thing.
I was completely and utterly entranced by this and I really can't comprehend why. Perhaps it was her so clearly milking people dry? Was it the occasionally hilarious donantion (most of which confused the heck out of me to be honest) ? I really don't know. Whatever it was I stayed up a lot later than I normally would watching and woke up the next day just plain confused as to why I had done so.
Not sure I would ever watch it again but it was like going to a really really REALLY strange human zoo of sorts.
Kinda rambling and pointless pointless post but ermm yea.

Seen this idea expressed by a few people...
What do you see as Twitch's "purpose"?
Because I'm having a hard time seeing a video game streaming site as something that has some kind of higher calling where content like this is inappropriate or takes away from any of the other various types of content going on at the site.
It kinda has to be all-or-nothing though. You can't open the platform up to subscriptions and donations, and then start telling people to stop if you don't like their gimmick or their shtick. As long as they're not doing porn and they're playing games I don't really see what the problem is. Twitch doesn't have any "purpose" other than to be a place where you go to watch others play videogames.
I'm not even sure how you could alter the terms of service to get rid of someone like HelenaLive. Most of the complaints about her are rooted in completely subjective areas like "She doesn't deserve money for this!" or "She's taking advantage of the chat room!".
Well for one, twitch surely isn't about promoting psychological abuse.
