it may be stupid but i think there's much more sense in donating to twitchwhores than real gamers

Depends on the content, is the gamer entertaining? Or does he provide a lot of useful information that can improve your game? Is he simply really good that motivates you to play?

I certainly think these justify giving money to someone who puts effort into doing what he does.

come on, this is just attention-whoring even if it was legit which I seriously doubt
some streamers go all the way to sell themselves out, wouldn't surprise me if this was the case

Best twitch goof is still the wheelchair guy asking for money for new handicap equips, and then accidentally on stream standing up and walking away on cam.

Looks like great alt marketing to me. If you can find a niche to capitalize on, wouldn't you do it? If I thought I could make as much money playing twitch games while flirting with viewers/bringing new customers into my chaturbate account as I could flipping burgers, I'd do it. Hell, I'd do it just to fund my gaming.

Yes of course, if you could make money by whoring yourself out, why wouldn't you? That's just smart.

If one likes Twitch goofs this subreddit is the best imo. Just ignore the thread about the retard who allegedly raped a chick and beat her up on stream (no vid)

I was just about to ask "What could faking an act of chicken choking get him?".
Then I remembered that people are sick. Some might even start following him just for the sake of catching him sticky handed again.

Who was that streamer that left his stream on and opened child porn then killed himself when he found out? I can't remember the name and now I have some really weird google searches in my history. I swear there was an ED article but I can't find anything now.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Sounds too juicy to be true, never heard of anything similar.

Can not understand the phenomenon of game streamers and why so many people are watching them.

literally have no idea why someone would want to watch someone else play a game, sometimes for hours, rather than playing said game themselves. like, in what circumstance is it better to watch someone else play a game rather than be the player, can someone explain?

I guess if you had a shit PC and couldn't play the game yourself you might wanna see what it's like, but then it's just spoiling the game for when you do get a good PC. i guess for people wanting to see the MLG strats too. i guess i answered my own question

Like i mentioned earlier, said streamer can be very entertaining. I often find myself following a stream not because of the game but because of the person playing it, if they make me laugh and giggle constantly then why not watch a stream, its entertainment. Besides, i usually smack them up on the side monitor while playing other games.

Same about watching sports?
As Gravoth said it can have entertainment value: when you are actor you dont react like if you were spectator.
Also you may not have access to the played game or cannot reach the entertainment level the streamer has (skill, PC quality, his friends + the crowd); sometimes you just dont want to play but you would watch a video instead. Thats really perfectly standard procedure applied to videogames.

Now of course, if you have the game, want to play it, and have the option to watch someone play or do it yourself, yes of course its better to play the game :P
