Yeah indeed, what's next?  Watching people playing football/Rugby or even running? Maybe even worse let people pay to watch it....People can't be that stupid right?

I know you are trying to be smart with that post of yours, but its rather silly you trying to make that kinda connection. 

Not everyone can run, play basketball or play football competitively. In the very same way not everyone can play street fighter at the level required to play it competitively. I watch soccer because  I am supporting a team.  I watch basketball cause I'm supporting a team then later in the day I go to my local court and play with my friends. I watch evo cause I want to see the best of the best play fighting games then later I jump in and game with my friends. I would even watch some game videos because I'm trying to see where to find that item. 

That's very different from sitting down and watching someone else play an entire game or chunks of it as your primary way if experiencing that game. If you can't see the difference then I'm sorry and I guess you fall under those people I don't quite understand. 


I was not trying to make you silly but a lot of people who are popular on Twitch are people who have skills in games. I am pretty sure you will find evo players who are on Twitch aswell and a lot of them play against people in the chat and it is fun.  I can tell my story,  I followed a guy from Schotland who is into playing games with the Rift, I enjoyed my experience and want to check out the rift games he played. In no time I was playing games with him. We created an gaming community called spider gaming and thanks to his stream I met people from the chat/Spidergaming and we even had barbecues together. The last year I probably spend hundreds of hours with them in games as minecraft/Team Fortress 2/Elite Dangerous/Euro Truck/Ark survival what is so strange to understand that people like it?  I really don't find it strange that on evenings where I don't feel like gaming I just am active in their chat and talk with the people I know and meet up.

I don't know if I should call her a disgrace or smart.  She was clearly playing an character and she was crying and being angry on people who donated her money.  In less than a week she had enough donations from people to buy herself a house...  One guy(site) even donated +3250$.

Maybe something is wrong with me, but I've never watched a game stream ever. I don't just get it. I can understand watching movies, or a video where something is being talked about. But how does it make any sense that people sit and watch other people play games? I used to think that the main draw of gaming was that you play them yourself.

Baffling.

Have you sat at a firends house as they played a game? Or did you just get up and go home? Same idea.



I love the logic of: Theres something wrong with me → must be someome else's fault.

Maybe people are just different. If I go to a friends house and he's playing a game I haven't played yet, I get up and leave cause I want to experience as much of that game for myself with the controller in my hand and on my own TV setup. Anything less is unacceptable. But that's just me. So to each their own. 



Yes it was true she got raided by trolls. A lot of the people who trolled her did it with donations. Donated 3 bucks and you could leave troll text messages and a lot of people did it....You don't like it? Just go to options and click disable donations.

This channel is banned and i can bet 99% of those donations are going to be charged back. Reddit and 4chan did the best they could to get her out. 



The only Twitch I follow is this son of a bitch

women using various channels of communication to exploit their sexuality for money is nothing new and as long as men are as susceptible to sexual stimulation as they are it won't stop anytime soon
