>>16672466>but yea streaming works better on a small scaleeven then, depends
i feel like thats only if its among people who are at least somewhat familiar with each other, outside of there being a stream
for example if its a game with a small community, ya it can actually be pleasant ive had good times with that. old comp tf2 streams were fun to be around when some certain people came on
but if its streaming for random people, then it actually gets even worse, somehow. when the chat isnt a torrent of the same shit and instead a little amount of people that the streamer has to talk a bit with
because in that case the people who recurringly show up get even more attached to that parasocial relationship
yes theyre interacting more, but its still completely fake
its always the most soulless "conversation" possible, just about none of those people act like actual human beings
its mostly just trying to farm the dopamine from having the streamer reply to them and very rarely conversations that arent zombie-like, none of it is genuine, just talk for the sake of talk i would say
so by the end of it, it gets kind of worse than being a retard who sits there and spams emotes and repeats what other people are saying or whatever lol, i feel like these ones get convinced that this fucked up chatbot talk is how people actually interact with people. if they went on to act like that towards anyone then holy shit id pay to see that
ive been around those kinds of streams a fair lot cause i used to mess with the people in them a bunch alongside friends and it was rly fun, but ya i always got completely baffled by how these people talk to each other
its like the type of dialogue that a kid would make up in his head, or sort of like elevator talk between random people lol
a mix of both of those things maybe
anyway ya, i think if youre exposed to that for a prolonged time then its even shittier for you than what the larger hiveminds
