>>38079578Depends on what you're referring to.
>TwitchTwitch is just a platform, and one used by millions. Any generalizations you might hold about it are just that: generalizations. It has several advantages in its infrastructure that make it much more accommodating than YT and its endless bugs and fuckery that's already been talked to death in this thread let alone the entire board for months. Her good friends use Twitch, and I was under the impression that this thread supported her friends, too.
>the subathonTo celebrate her rebrand, ie, the direction of her future creative endeavors, like she said. If she said, "I like pancakes," and you responded with, "so you hate waffles?" then that's your own cognitive issue. She's trying out the big Twitch thing because she's on Twitch now. It's not complicated.
>adsSomething that every creator does, and, once again, she has good friends doing the exact same thing, so I don't see why this is an issue beyond personal, minor annoyance. Furthermore, yes, hololive does this exact same thing. The JP branch has the talents shilling shit endlessly. Don't let the fact that you've become accustomed to EN getting the sidebranch treatment dissuade you from looking at the bigger picture. Why exactly is it an issue if she wants to have an additional source of income on the side anyway while providing more or less identical content, free of red tape which has been a thorn in the side of the EN branch since its inception? That mentality kind of just reeks of glorifying poverty. She puts the most money back into her content by far out of any other EN, and is otherwise saving up for life improvements like owning property. To begrudge her that comes off to me as odd, to the say the least.
Don't get me wrong; I'd love nothing more to get back to regularly scheduled programming like the rest of you (and if you choose to ignore the Choco collab for some reason you're just being a disingenuous fag), but no, this isn't some unmitigated swerve into debauchery. It's just her diversifying, because yes, she has her own personal brand, and that is something that has not changed since the day she debuted. I'm not saying anything more about this, so don't reply.
