Well that's pretty lovely but I've never subscribed or donated to any twitch channel lol, I just think that crying streamers are funny.

I used to enjoy watching my older brother play the NES when I was 4 and too uncoordinated to succeed even a little bit at video games. I am glad to know that everyone everywhere also did this and continues to do it.

Note that the numbers are misleading; they are comparing total viewership over the whole tournament to the average viewership of one playoff game. That doesn't stop USA Today from claiming that like idiots though.

riot is a bad company with viewer bots so im not sure how much i believe it but nerd sports are definitely growing regardless

also for anyone who felt bad for the sexual harassment of titty girl she is an actual porn star so i am guessing she is faking her shock and awe when sexuality is mentioned

Friend of mine did actual camwhoring for a few months and thinking back on it vs what little I've seen of people watching these chicks stream the guys on the porn site were a hell of a lot more civil and chill than the dumb nerds watching video games.

The guys on porn sites are all adults with credit cards and full time jobs. Twitch is all children and man children.

Will not let thread die. Still too much dumb poo poo to point out. Like this.



What's so bad about Naughty Dog doing a live stream and Q&A of Uncharted 4? Nothing. But then you have...




People who leech those feeds and do "reaction" streams. :effort:

That is actually against the TOS and they could have been shut down. Only E3 video from the official Twitch stream (twitch.tv/twitch) was permitted to be restreamed on Twitch channels during the event.

'reaction' is a dumb word, but if someone has fans and wants to hang out with their chat I can see the appeal I guess

not watching the coverage at all is still the best option though

When someone has something of value to say, that's one thing. When someone is literally livestreaming a livestream, putting their dumb face over it, and watching it like thousands of people already are (and being rewarded for it apparently), that is loving horrendous.

I'm jealous too guys.

Twitch isn't anymore or less dumb then the million other things you can spend money on in this world. I love some of the tactics streamers use to get people to throw money at them. They'll pit top donators against each other, they'll say things like "last sub of the day" to try and get people to prove them wrong. I'm watching http://www.twitch.tv/timthetatman and 2 people have had a donation war and hes made 1500-2000 just off them. He spends the first hour of every stream just shooting the poo poo while 100+ people resub($2.50-$3.50 a pop) and others donate another 5 bucks at a time. Hes made more money today then I do in 2 months. The last two top of the line computers he had have been given to him by sponsors. He's also considered mid tier compared to the other top dogs on twitch. I can't hate on these guys when millions of people in the USA suck all the Kardasians dicks. Capitalism at its finest and god bless America for it. :fsmug:

Edit before post: Another $375 donation.
