>>7861960>If a streamer’s chat tells them that they should be improving x thing about their stream I hope to fucking god they listen instead of being a close-minded chimp such as yourselfAre you actually retarded? Most people dont know what the fuck they are talking about. Just look at this board and you can find various reasons why streamer X is unpopular. All of these things are just speculations from people with zero expertise. You speak of a streamers chat like it is one entity, while in reality it is a bunch of people with different opinions, that often contradict each other.
A streamer has to take in every constructive criticism, yes, BUT needs to decide for themselves, which advice is actually good advice. And no, the perceived amount of people agreeing with advice, isnt the best indicator to evaluate the usefulness of advice because you always have to account for the silent majority, that isnt voicing their opinions at all.
I have read advice from anons on here for my oshi. If she would apply any of those points, I would outright stop watching her. If you listen to every criticism, especially the ones, that result in big changes to your streams, you might end up losing viewers instead of winning new ones over. There are also different viewertyps, that you have to consider, when taking advice from chat. Like would you for example value the opinion of someone, who doesnt even watch you frequently over the opinion of your most loyal supporters? Would you trade a loyal veteran supporter for 5 normie fags, whos attention will be short lived and probably drop you in a month anyways? Evaluating what is good criticism, what is schizo rambling and who is voicing the criticism is crucial for a streamer.
At the end of the day noone really knows, what makes things go viral or become popular. Also even if streamers would apply good advice, you might still wont see a massive change in viewership, since people need to actually give second chances or have a reason to check out that persons stream. Like how would people even find out that streamer X improved after they already dropped them? There are also so many things, that are outside of a streamers control like youtube algorithm, that determine a streamers popularity, but I dont want to touch that topic aswell.
