I love streamers who are forced to keep streaming long past their prime as their content continues to get shittier because they're blew all their twitch money and have no other source of income.

14 year olds for whom chaturbate is blocked, but not twitch. even if it's not blocked, their parents would flip out if they saw porn stuff on their credit cards, but they can use their birthday money to buy subway gift cards and donate to twitch streamers with them so some girl sitting in an inflatable pool will write their name on her tits with a marker

There's a fairly well known concept on twitch called oilers, nicknamed after middle eastern rich guys. basically guys who donate huge sums of money to streamer girls.

This is an insane video about a Swedish guy who basically donated $40,000 to have sex with some Korean streamer and the insane community that tracks these women and their every move. It's incredibly weird and fascinating, in a horrible kind of dystopian way.

i was hoping to find the biggest hot tub streamer but it seems what was really meant is most popular hot tub streamer. she’s not small by any means but i was looking for a lot more displacement.

CW: Description of domestic abuse

She says she was/is being emotionally abused, having the life of her pets threatened, assaulted when trying to phone the police on her husband, and was forced to do hot tub streams and not disclose her marital status by her husband, who controls all of their financial accounts and regularly threatens to deny her access to funds and spend all of her money. Idk if that's like, the legal definition of sex trafficking but it does sorta seem like coerced sex work since she has an onlyfans and stuff.

Ah yes, normal husband behavior like threatening to kill your pets if your wife stops streaming.

Women in bikinis can have some value beyond their looks, like being funny, or interesting, and/or entertaining. I feel like the real question is why would you watch most streamers, like... at all, including Hot Tub streamers? Before Twitch, and even for a few years after, it had a novelty that has since worn off. Most streamers, even very popular ones are unfunny, stupid, vapid, and not entertaining. If you're going to watch someone stream it makes even more sense to at least watch someone you think is hot imo.

That sounds theoretically good up until you actually go into one of those streams and their chat is completely silent and you realize you are in an auditorium filled with 2000 other dudes quietly jerking their fat cocks off next to you

there are funny streamers on twitch, but im not surprised goons only see/look for horny content.

its closer to talk radio for a lot of people, they just have it going in the background, so you'll have streamers with hundreds of viewers but only a few active chatters

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0nsC8TtLIk

Yeah, I'd say that a good twitch streamer is a cross between a talk radio personality and a nightclub host/emcee. It's mostly about loosely interacting with the crowd (chat) while keeping things interesting for hours and hours on end. It's an extremely vibes-oriented platform. A stream's particular hook (the type of game played or whatever) is really secondary to keeping an entertaining vibe going. (This often results in frustration from people who are extremely good players of a particular game but aren't particularly entertaining.)

Seems impossible to believe a twitch streamer's content could get shittier because that implies there's something below the quality level of the original streams.

people are now so alienated from their local society and already so immersed in consumer entertainment that the ersatz social contact provided by twitch becomes addicting, like everything else on the internet, but because twitch is specifically focused on another form of addictive escapism it becomes hyper potent for certain kinds of people. the commercialisation of it makes it even more addicting because you don't have to show any value other than a few bucks to get a reaction out of people. free market fake friends.

it's really sad and ugly. i think twitch is one of the worst things on the internet. if it was just people playing games together with no money changing hands beyond ads on the website or like, a membership fee to participate, that'd be one thing, and it'd be a much less successful business, but it would just be people who struggle to find a place in real life retreating to a safe place and probably not as addictive either. but when you add the money into it, it becomes an absolute hellscape like everything else. youtube is flooded with the same kind of stuff but at least youtube also has actually informative and useful videos, so you can legitimately make a case for it. there's no case to be made for twitch. it's bad all the way.

it doesn't even matter if the content is 'good' or not, by whatever standards, the dynamics are depressive, addictive and it exploits a mixture of kids who are setting themselves on a bad road and isolated adults. if it and things like it didn't exist, all of their lives would immediately improve.
