Some brief #Twitch thoughts from over the weekend:

A streamer cannot change content of a game they didn& #39;t make. They can discuss, be frustrated with, do their best to skirt around a pre-defined in-game path, but they can& #39;t change it. Be mad/annoyed at the game, not the streamer.

#Twitch is still not an airport, you don& #39;t have to announce your departure from a channel, ever, really. It& #39;s polite if you& #39;ve been actively chatting with viewers and the streamer to say goodbye. But "Bye, I have to go stream." or "I& #39;m going to watch [other stream] now." is rude.

Unless explicitly stated, no #Twitch streamer is ever asking any viewer, new or regular, for input on their build, decisions, play style, etc. The "No Backseat Gaming" tag is there for a reason. If it hurts your "top tier" sensibilities to watch a scrub flail around? Don& #39;t watch.

I love streaming on #Twitch, but a lot of people who don& #39;t stream? Tend to forget we& #39;re real people who are simultaneously performing in and producing a live show, often with games and chat that divide our focus. (Huge thank you mods, you& #39;re amazing.)

Don& #39;t treat us like crap.

I hope everyone has or has had a lovely Monday. My coffee is kicking in, so it& #39;s time to get to my day job. Which, tbh, a lot of #Twitch streamers also have, yet still enjoy spending their off hours streaming, tweeting and managing their brand, so, y& #39;know, have some respect. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖖🏿" title="„Live long and prosper!“ (dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: „Live long and prosper!“ (dunkler Hautton)">
