>>63036173 has some legitimate good insight/advice
the balance between asking too much from your chatters (you don't want to ask them something and wait for an answer, or make them feel pressured to participate in chat/stream) and not interacting with chat enough is pretty difficult to get right, and its one of the biggest things I see people mess up. it's not just males, and it's not just asp chuubas either
There's a guy I know that's a great streamer, powerful zatsu, great voice, BUT I'm less inclined to chat in his streams because he'll ask questions to chat and then hang the stream until you answer him. This means if I'm doing something else (which is most times I watch streams) I'll not chat because I won't want to have to pull out my keyboard and type a response to something, or have him comment about me leaving the stream if I don't answer. it puts me in an awkward place.
There's a woman I watch that is the opposite of this, super good streamer, one of the best zatsu streamers I watch, that really knows how to keep a compelling ramble going, but barely acknowledges her chat at all. I rarely chat in her streams (unless it's to respond to another chatter) because I know she won't even read it 95% of the time, or will read it 5 minutes later.
In small streams the chat experience is especially important, and it's really vital to get it right
