Any good entertainer, or artist really, should tell their fanbase to fuck off at least a little bit. Yeah there's the aspect that it wrangles the idiots and stops the fanbase from becoming garbage. But more than that the vast majority don't want fan-dictated content, even if they may think they do, because the average fan is an idiot with ideas that are terrible in execution. Pandering just leaves the majority of the fanbase unhappy. And, besides, you want content to be as earnest/represenative of the streamer as possible. Otherwise there's no edge or illusion of genuineness that the content needs to be fun, it becomes safe disingenuous bullshit. Honestly, I wish we'd get some kinda vtuber equivalent to Andy Kaufman eventually. Just doing stuff to intentionally fuck with the audience, that shit is hillarious.
