Twitch you have a problem and should be ashamed of it

Haha, thread redeemed. :D
There really is a simpsons pic for everything.
 
It's like trying to fix a dam by sticking your finger in a crack. If twitch tried to monitor this stuff they would have an impossible task and if they achieved what you want they wouldn't have nearly as popular a service.

Instead.

1) Don't watch streams you think are dumb.
I've caught myself at times watching stuff like this with the "witty" donation comments and the streamers portraying a poorly developed "character"*... is it rubbernecking? (the way we stare at a car accident when driving by), is it the insipidness of popular culture these days? BOTH. My advice, catch yourself and don't watch.

2) Do watch streamers who are doing interesting things!

3) Evangelize for streamers you think are good. Spread the word about quality content.

4) You will likely always see this garbage. Look at the TV guide, look at the movie theatres, look at popular game releases, TONS OF GARBAGE. Twitch streams are also products of their environment (in this case the aforementioned insipid popular culture), and as such we should not expect anything but mostly GARBAGE.

tldr, ignore the junk, be the change you want to see, make your own stuff or promote good stuff



*I think that reasonably minded people who think that these "genius" characters are hilarious because "I get the joke but these others dont" are as much of a problem as anything else. Take a minute and reflect on what you wish to claim is "genius"... when in most cases it's just a recycling of a previous poorly developed 'persona' that is a dumb dumb dummy dum godaamn why am I still writing here dumb me, dumb everything. Go for a walk and help someone who needs a hand-up. f*&k outta here, twitch
 
I don't think you understand.

She is getting kicked out of her home.

Her home, where she lives.

Her room.

She is getting kicked out and it's your fault.

Thanks for your donation!

If you don't like it just don't watch or draw attention to it?

The whole point of Twitch is to show off in some shape or form involving video games.

I don't exactly agree with attention whoring in such a fashion, but it's their life, and people somewhere obviously want to watch them or else they wouldn't be doing it.
 
Donation alerts take away the actual purpose of streaming? You mean that reading donations live actually takes away from the purpose of live interaction with a streamer and their fanbase?

No, you still make no sense.

By that logic AGDQ and SGDQ should not read any donations because reading them doesn't actually cure cancer.

The purpose of the platform is to make money. That linked stream seems to be serving that purpose.

Sad that people think this way. Twitch was once a game streaming platform and not a "who can donate the most money to me" platform.

And AGDQ/SGDQ is a completely different example. They do this every year twice and actually donate the money for a good cause. These random people are obnoxiously asking for money, but again... that's not the problem I have. They can earn their money with whatever they want. I don't care. I'll just watch someone else, who isn't this obnoxious and fake.

Aren't those donations on paypal?

They will basically all be just refunded,right?

Huge amounts of money get refunded, like with that "Saudi Arabian Prince" case who donated 30k US$ to his "favorite streamers". Was basically just a guy seeking attention.

Can't imagine that people will refund all the 1€ donations.

This is nothing new. These girls play up to it. They are acting. If they wanted it to stop, they could easily prevent the spam and donations being read. Come on now.

nobody is asking for money.
 
Troll donations and text to speech have been around for a long time and it's how most of the top streamers earn their living. When a guy does it it's trolling but when a girl does it it's sinister emotional manipulation.

People are just salty they aren't in on the joke, I guess

Its actually the exact same thing.

Like... its literally the exact same thing.

The only difference is where the money is going. If the streamer said this money is going to charity (Like EVO) then it would be the exact same thing.

I'll I read is "people are giving money to a cause I don't like, it ruins everything" vs "people giving money to a cause I do like, its wonderful"

Its up to you whether or not you want to donate to certain streamers, but to say it ruins the platform is absolute subjectivity on your end
