Tfw just subbed $5 bucks to my favorite twitch streamer for the first time

>tfw just subbed $5 bucks to my favorite twitch streamer for the first time

feels good supporting someone whom i spend hours watching play video games every week.

>tfw have never subbed
>never even thought of subbing or donating
>always use adblock
>barely even follow

feels good to get some decent entertainment for free.

Same here. I can't imagine how pathetic you'd have to be to "support" millionaire streamers with your $5 a month just to feel part of an imaginary community. And I bet plenty of people tell themselves "a-at least I'm not poor" to justify it

>i spend hours watching someone else play video games every week

Name a bigger waste of time than this.

t. witch

Spend hours watching people stream just to hear the streamers read your shitty meme donations.

>millionaire streamers

Literally what you're doing right now.

This all the way
I'm "subbed" to two people only because of my amazon prime thing, and one of them is a friend I've known for more than 10 years

Edging myself for hours, and do it all over again some time later.

too bad they only get half of that and twitch pockets the other half

Following isn't really in the same boat. It's hugely convenient to keep a directory of streamers you like so you can quickly see who's online and what they're doing without having to check one-by-one.

summit is a millionaire

This but I leave adblock off forsome people and bought a vinesauce plush for some reason

Doesn't twitch prime only give you one subscription though?
Prime subscriptions are stupidly designed too. I have a year left of prime, why can I only subscribe a month at a time with no option to auto-renew?

when did Sup Forums suddenly hate twitch?

kys

Sup Forums hates everything user

nice! :D

I'm sure its gives you two, but it's been a while since I checked.


>Prime subscriptions are stupidly designed too. I have a year left of prime, why can I only subscribe a month at a time with no option to auto-renew?
Yeah I know, but at least with a student account, I get it for half the price.

I like how you assume everyone here only watches the "big" streamers.

Big cancer, small cancer

>he doesn't know the most popular streamers have fancy as fuck cars, and bought houses already

They really are millionaires, or close to it. They just don't seem like it. Lirik probably gets like $500 worth of donations every day, added on with his subs, and sponsors.
Even decent streamers get at least $100 worth of donations a day, plus the sponsors and sub count.
>tfw most streamers make in a week what I do in a month

Statistically, they do

I cancelled my subs recently
>it was only for 2 months but Sup Forums convinced me I can just watch it for free

You’re still part of the problem

Threadly reminder streamers have shit social lives and relationships and all the money can't fix crippling depression.

the ones i follow usually have less than 500 viewers and live in shanty ass 1 bedroom/studio apartments or their mother's basement garage. they don't look rich at all.

you can tell how depressed/down some get when they can't play with their streamer friends

You're talking about 0.000001% of all streamers as if they're the norm
If you're pulling $100 of donations a day you're already far, FAR beyond the top 1% of twitch streamers. Almost everybody makes a few bucks or nothing from their channel.

what a fucking casual

That doesn't mean that smaller streamers don't deserve some kind of support for the enjoyment they bring, regardless of the opinion of "they're just playing games".

Or they're pretending to be depressed so that people feel bad and donate more money

mfw i have had amazon prime for years and never give anyone my free sub

>all the money can't fix crippling depression.
Just aint rich enough

If you're donating to a small streamer it's more understandable

>edging for hours
is there a greater pleasure known to man

...

Thats what I'm saying. I will never understand why people even bother giving money to the people that have already made it on Twitch, the ones with all the sponsorships and hundreds of thousands of followers.

It's all fun and games until you feel like fapping later and your dick is still broken.

epic meme reddit

I follow someone just like that. Usually gets around 300-600 viewers, and he lives in his moms basement. But he still has a ton of subs, and gets a donation every few minutes.
That's still decent enough money to be considered better then a minimum wage job. Some of these streamers just don't move out, even if they are making good enough money. Probably saving it?

>dick is still broken
what

B-but it's fun

>tfw never ever donated of subbed to anyone since
>tfw been watching stream since justin.tv days

Feels good to not be a cuck beta nu-male.

I like selecting streams with less than 5 viewers. But usually the streamer gets all excited about you and my autism flares up and I have to leave

ITT Sup Forums bitches like a bunch of bitches

>cuck beta nu-male.
easy on the buzzwords Sup Forums

> must defend my virtual friend

>gets buttmad when someone holds up a mirror to his face

Don't you have some epic meme emotes to go spam with your fellow kids?

I've seen the same. Guy never gets more than 1000 viewers yet somehow has almost 1000 subscribers. That's around $2500 a month without taking donations into account. Even if you barely get $1000 a month that's still enough passive income to live the NEET dream.

> no u
Kindergarten tier

>Guy never gets more than 1000 viewers yet somehow has almost 1000 subscribers
This sounds like some major BS on either your part or the streamer's part

Iateyourpie?

Not BS. Some people sub but never watch the streamer. It's weird but they do it. Lots of streamers also sub to each other, even if they never watch each other.

>tfw subbed to Zfg even though totally sick of speedruns
Just because I have faggot amazon prime and noone else to sub to

LIRIK's brother so possibly just an exception to the norm. His brothers fame doesn't seem to actually bring much benefit though as it's rarely ever revealed. Realistically he probably only has around 800-900 concurrent subscribers but he still only tops around 700-800 viewers most of the time.

...

You're as bad as OP.

>TFW I don't watch any streamers at all and I don't even visit Twitch and I don't understand why people do.

I guess it's the new form of television for some people? Except they hope they become friends with the streamer? Not sure why someone would pay them. Sad really.

They think they'll grow closer to the streamer if they throw money at them
The best they will ever get is a brief acknowledgement during the donation or subscription holler and the streamer will go back to playing their video games

Do you see me calling you a problem for your choice of entertainment and/or videogames?
>fuck off

>Watching other people to play your games

Do you want me to fuck you gf too OP? You absolutely cuck.

HATE STREAMERS

Come back when you can speak half a sentence of English Joao

Yes, seeing as I have as much ability to play at EVO as I have to get a gf

People subbing just to talk when the chat is in submode and just spam "Bye plebs", even worst people subbing to female E-Girls who doesn't show shit and are flat af instead of going to webcam sites where the girls have better production and you can get the pussy with that money.

Any channel that ever goes into sub-only mode in the first place is far too cancerous to be in

some are entertaining internet personalities. same reason people follow youtubers or podcasters.

this, also watch lets play, don't buy merch, don't watch ads, basically i'm just leeching entertainment.

Your understanding of greentexting could use some work too, newfag.

brutal

except its twitch streamers

big autism (you)

Seriously tho, there are some legit cool dudes on twitch who are worthy of subscribing too.

True true.

Podcasts are fucking great. I still listen to 5+ year old smodcast stuff because that shit will never stop being hilarious.

What do you mean? I've fapped for 18 hours straight, gone to sleep and been just as steady to fap when I wake up.

>spend 5 bucks on a camwhore
>get a video of her doing naughty stuff
>spend 5 bucks on a twitch whore
>Don't even get a thank you
Nice nice

>paying for a free stream

mind-boggling

This anime is absolutely awful

Who are the biggest divas on Twitch right now? People who treat chat like shit and forget that, at the end of the day, they're playing with electronic toys and making generic comments about it for a living.

All this buttmad.

Fpbp

Lirik and MoonMoon are both pretty big divas. Moon's gotten into a habit of preaching what he thinks is correct to his chat without thinking for a moment about what he's saying.

Shame, he used to be entertaining.

literally everything cause we're all gonna end up dead anyway.

I get bored after an hour. I just don't understand how people can edge for longer than that.

>1,000 subs
>$2,500 a month

As they get more subs, twitch negotiates better rates than a 50/50 split. Some of the top streamers can get $4 for every sub.

>tfw 0 viewer streams all the time lately

is it because of summer? normally i'd get 2 or 3

Following? Yes there are some to keep track of.
Subbing or donating? FUCK NO! Not even my favorite streamer I would sub or donate to. Even if I was a richfag.

Every single big time streamer pretty much. They call their twitch chat idiots, retards, and losers every day. Then the chat just laughs it off like "lol your so right."

Came upon him one day. Was watching him for 10mins, then someone mentioned that they played Overwatch on consoles. He then went on an autistic rant about "reee PC is so amazing, fuck you!"
So I never went back. He also played random sounds and music at random times. Not sure how anyone watches that shit.
