    Some people get really offended when their sub or donation doesn’t get mentioned. I go so far as to re-sub when the streamer is offline to try and avoid it at all costs. Parasocial relationships are weird, man.

      Yep, the best streams I have watched was the streamer spoke to the chat as if it was a single person, asking for advice or hints on how to continue.

        DougDoug, while a bit unhinged, seems to always try to include the community into every stream

          As long as it isn’t just shoutout after shoutout after shoutout or similar dumb crap that doesn’t add any real content

      Once i had a sub ready while the streamer was offline, i got called rude by someone else who was in the chat for some reason.

      Btw you can turn of to send the notification in the settings.
