When you're ostensibly a customer--which is really what the relationship between viewer and entertainer is--then it's up to you to voice what you want and when your expectations are not met. The viewer solely holds the entertainer accountable and is solely their source of income and success.
Leaving silently because you're dissatisfied denies the entertainer the opportunity to gather feedback and improve. Expressing your dissatisfaction may not mean the entertainer ultimately wins back your attention and passion and money, but it may mean that they incorporate the feedback, improve and become more successful in the long run. Some people, especially the young and arrogant, receive feedback poorly or do not welcome it. Tough shit. This does not mean feedback is itself harmful or hostile. As a viewer, you're entitled to your opinion and to express it, and that opinion is inherently valuable to an entertainer even if it's something stupid and petty. Entertainers who fail to see the value in free feedback are just not very good at what they do, but that's fine too. If they were that good they wouldn't need a corpo tardwrangling them, but you can bet your ass management is paying attention and incorporating feedback even if the talent is blind to it.
>yeah but fuck greynamesYou might say, but ultimately sponsorships and ad revenue are worthless without a large casual audience circulating through. A streamer likely cares more about cultivating their insular audience of simps and whales to sustain them with superchats and memberships, but the corporation backing them cares much more about their viability for sponsorships and marketing, and that's the standard they'll be held accountable to.
