>>40573906Are you perhaps familiar with the concept of 'throwing for content'
Every streamer does the 'get fucked by hard boss on purpose for hours' thing, even though most of them loathe it. They know there are alternatives, they know it doesn't matter. Viewers are tuning in to watch a girl suffer playing a game "too difficult for her." When they shatter that fantasy by actually just playing the game the obviously intended way, their viewership tanks. Case and point, Kronii's abortive Elden Ring playthrough. She didn't struggle so people lost interest and she dropped the game because it wasn't giving her NOOMBERS.
