The funny thing is that most of the people defending this aren't even Pikamee fans, they are just twitchfags defending the Twitch way of vtubing.
Twitch culture is one of lazyness, of people streaming because they want to hang out as a friend with their chat. Not of striving for success through the creation of better content. I've heard a couple of vtubers that switched platforms that feel more relaxed at twitch, precisely because the audience has lesser expectations and you don't have to please an algorithm for exposure.
I feel that the twitch way makes for more genuine parasocial relationships, but it also feels extremely stagnant and depressing.
