>>67146546This is maybe an unpopular take, but I don't see an issue with streamers whether in hololive or elsewhere having favorites. I think it's natural, and the viewers upset the streamer likes someone else more than them are the ones with problems. If you interact with someone on a nearly daily basis and maybe even in a PL too, that person is going to feel closer to you then someone newer to the channel or someone with a disagreeable personality. If you interact with a streamer for a while and have a decent personality, you'll likely become a favorite too.
Keeping up a facade of equality to all to spare the menhera viewers from going nuts is unnecessary, if not impossible, and the viewers who assume it happens or demand it are doing nothing but coping to see the streamer as more than what they are. It makes things simple once you just don't care and you look at streamers as streamers. As a streamer, one will likely be happier just not thinking too hard on it and filtering out the people who get upset on it early on.
It's not healthy to watch streamers for the purpose of getting attention. If interacting with a mod or a viewer directly makes for good content, then the streamer did well.
Ok, I'm off my soap box. Go ahead. Type "kys" to keep up the avoidance of (You) maybe being the one with the problem.
