Or people pay monthly to support their streamers who bring joy and happiness in their lives knowing they're helping them develop as a result. People can spend their money on worse stuff you know.

i pay 5 dollars a month only to get the emote forsenE

I can't stand watching a twitch stream for more than 5 minutes. Every ten seconds they thank whatever faggot subscribed for the 20th month or donated another 5 dollars to tell some shitty joke in the donation text. It's all about the money and the fake 'community'

Who do you give your FREE $2.49 to

People pay monthly to play xbox and playstation online.

People pay monthly for porno sites. People throw money at camgirls. People pay monthly Netflix subscriptions to watch absolute tripe like Salem or some other whatever fucking show. People collect comic books, old video games, baseball cards, Pokemon cards, guns, toys, computer parts, running shoes; there are any number of hobbies in this world that aren't completely productive. Like shitposting on Sup Forums. Live your own life and don't worry about what others do until it harms you directly.

Maybe don't watch friend simulators and variety streamers and just watch someone good at a game

>2011+7
>paying for TV
Shiggy diggy doo wop wop doo wow.

Could be worse, they could be paying for the emotes and not even watching.

Oh wait, people actually do that.

Fucking this.

>trying to watch a guide video on Youtube to git gud at a fightin gaem
>it's a recorded Twitch broadcast
>presenter stops what he's explaining every thirty seconds to listen to some shit jingle, read some banal comment and thank a subscriber

I put Streams on sometimes for background noise when I'm browsing and I don't pay a fucking cent.

Would you pay to post on Sup Forums?

it harms my intellect

no, /vip/ is a shit board

you watch the wrong kind of streamers. Atleast find someone with a non fake personality

The worst thing is that people subscribe which gives money to twitch when they could just donate directly to the streamer
Twitch is really shit lately

what's wrong with giving money for the service to keep functioning

I'm more inclined to toss a few shekels to Streamers that literally don't give a shit if you donate or not, they just play and talk and never mention subbing or bits or anything like that. More streamers should be that way.

I'm more worried about the fanaticism it generates. Lots of discussions and forums about some video games end up being polluted by children defending their streamer or making some drama.

You don't belong on Sup Forums. I'm saying this for your own good, nobody here knows how to not care about what other people do and it'll just frustrate you in the end.

They don't pay to WATCH, they pay to SUPPORT. They might get a few perks but the whole basis of the subscription system is "I like this person so I'll give them money". Same exact shit as patreon.

I really will never understand this shit, these people are almost always generating another source of income. I mentioned to my friends once that I would never understand people that pay to these people, they got mad at me and started defending the position with shit like"but its their money they can do what they want!" after about 2 minutes of back and forth it came out that they were subbed to some streamers the more we argued the more I explained why its a bad practice, eventually they stopped trying to bring me over to their side.
To be fair one just likes to argue and the other is a woman

Got me there. All should do it. In fact, the rest of it is fine, besides niggies who obsess over sneaks. Seriously, who cares about shoes? WHAT HUNCHBACKED FETISHIST LOOKS AT YOUR FEET

it starts to get real annoying fast when streamers like to mention HEY GUYS I HAVE A SUB GOAL

But user, it is their money and they can do what they want with it.

>talking to someone irl
>says something sarcastic
>finishes his sentence with Kappa

>paying money to some random to play video games
This must be an American thing, like tipping and donating all your money to a political candidate.

It's a waste of money. Some people take pride in being subbed for many years. People will pay for anything I guess.

>not using twitch emotes in real life

People should be willing to spend as much as basic cable costs on subs / turbo if they watch Twitch instead of TV desu

living in your head, rent free

Sounds like you got Jebaited

More like watching you guys with mild bemusement from a safe distance, like at a zoo.

believe me I wish all political candidates survived on small donors, instead of billionaires and giant corporations

And as I said to them, I'm not disagreeing with that they can waste their money if they want, I simply believe the practice to be idiotic.

That doesn't explain why they do it or really should do it. It's like throwing money at alcoholic scab asses, why?

...

just use your prime sub on whoever and change it up every month as you desire
i don't get the people that sub to 40 different channels, how do they afford that

like a Sup Forums pass for starters

You don't pay to watch, you pay to get to use the chat.

It's pay to freedom of speech, except you'll still get muted if you say anything the streamers mods don't agree with.

Paying for it is totally optional though, so it's not like paying for a service. It's more akin to tipping a street performer than anything.

I see people donating hundreds, sometimes thousands to streamers. Where do these autists get that money? Their parents? Surely they can't hold a well paying job being this retarded. If I found out anyone who worked for me donated to a streamer, I'd make their lives a living hell forcing them to quit.

I have twitch prime or some shit with my amazon prime. Whats the point of it?

I send $25US to ISIS every week and you can't stop me

>People are entertained by streamers
>People want to support their favorite streamers
>Donating $5 a month to support their favorite streamers while getting ad-free viewing and exclusive Twitch emotes in return
What's the issue? You don't have to donate to any streamer on Twitch, ever.

>It's pay to freedom of speech
It's not though, autist.

The US comprises 21% of all Twitch traffic, so yes, Americans likely spend the most supporting streamers. The next biggest country that views Twitch is Russia with 6%, and Twitch doesn't accept potato for subscriptions.

man, imagine paying for entertainment

lol consolefags = twitchtards confirmed

Can be entertaining to go in channels with only 10 viewers and bam up the streamer
Double fun if they join in but most are thin skinned faggots who cry and ban you the second they think you are ribbing them

>You can watch both TV and twitch for free you autistic brainlet.

exactly, so people who pay for either are fucking dumb gentiles who deserve to be ridiculed, hence the thread

If you say twitch emotes irl you might honestly be retarded

Pretty sure that for lots of subscriber it's mostly a communitarian move, they get a rise out of this by showing off their exclusive emotes and how close and important they think they are to the streamer.

if you want to toss a few bucks toward someone that you enjoy watching and want to support, I don’t really see the issue.

If you want to pay a few bucks to get rid of ads and maybe get some stuff in the process? I don’t see the problem.

No one is forcing these people to pay, and they can watch for free. If they want to spend their money on that, why should you care? Not coming out of your pocket.

There are lots of (single, unmarried with 0 children, no/few friends) people working regular jobs who have more money than they can spend.

You're making your point worse.

It's a waste if money you don't get anything and there are better things you could buy with that money

>Implying you don't live in a basement and have any form of income kek

Yeah and I explained why that is.
It is however a very effective way to create a echochamber of people sucking your dick.

That's more autistic than saying "implying" after someone says some dumb shit.

Most of the time they're kiddies or literal autists who can never know better who got a hold of their heart surgeon dad's CC.

why would you do that man that ain't cool
have some empathy, live and let live

>who have more money than they can spend.
that's a funny way of saying "who are too stupid to save or invest"

You NEET virgins are pathetic. I sub and sonate daily to plenty of streamers because they are entertaining and i want to support them.
I happen to be a mod at plenty of female streamer channels and i get ever lasting joy at popping a perma ban at you bitter autists.

t. anonymous, whose dad works at ECHELON

>ad-free
Twitch has ads?

>I happen to be a mod at plenty of female streamer channels
please tell me this is bait

This is what happens when you consume too much soy

is it a bubble?
will it pop soon?

Quit watching only the streamers with the most viewers and find some decent ones

Oh Christ on His throne.

NOT EVEN!
PEOPLE PAY MONTHLY FOR STREAMERS TO PRETEND TO BE THEIR FRIEND AND GIVE THEM A TINY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ON STREAM THAT THEY DO NOT GET IN THEIR DAY TO DAY, COMPANIONLESS LIFE. LMAO

Streamers can choose to play ads whenever they wish. Also I think on some channels an ad plays when you enter the stream

With a bit more seasoning this can be some fine bait copypasta. Don't give up

desu i only sub to one person because they have really freaking cool emoticons, and when more people sub, it opens the threshold to even more emoticons

uhmmm, how about NO, sweetie BORT

...

i say implying all the time. i also point my fingers in a chevron shape to pretend i'm greentexting in real life. my friends think it's hilarious.

yeah, it pops tomorrow with the new ToS
they're gonna do a salted earth purge of most of their users who don't agree with the liberal hivemind they want to implement
i hear they're gonna live stream the bannings

To be honest, I came in this thread to mock these saps, but thinking about it that way it's pretty fucking sad to be so alone you pay someone just for acknowledgement.

>have really freaking cool emoticons
This thread just keeps on giving.

I only give money to my waifu CinCinBear.

That pasta is al dente you need to write more like this user.

>paying for emoticons
Rethink your life, Jesus Christ.

She takes black dick.

I also pay for internet

>when one of the streamers you watch starts putting on subscriber only chat

well shoot

delete this slander

I guess I have to thank ublock and vortex for never being exposed to that.

>this thread
Either the commies should've won or I'm a fucktard for never getting into business.

What you personally find idiotic is subjective--you say you don't mind other people "wasting" their money, but it isn't a waste to them. People only call other peoples' use of money a waste when their use of it doesn't align with how they'd personally use the money, which is typically the lens through which most people view the spending habits of others.
