After watching a ton of Twitch, I can safely say, the purpose of Twitch chat is unclear to me.
LIRIK, Summit1g and other famous streamers’ chats go off at the most insane rate due to the high number of viewers. Even in subscriber mode, which is when the viewer pays a monthly fee to the streamer to have the ability to chat, it is still going ballistic.
Are we supposed to have a conversation with either the streamer or another viewer in this storm of text? Should I be expecting a back-and-forth with someone? I haven’t that’s for sure! I think it may need some reworking.
Let me know if I’m being a princess about this–but to me, Twitch chat leaves plenty to be desired.
