CE do you?

i think with amazon prime i have a free subscription that i may have given to a streamer once upon a time, if that's how that works

I don't have much time to watch nowadays, but yeah I follow a few RPG speedrunners like RyuQuezacotl (Diablo 2) and Cordellium (FFVIII/Xenogears), as well as Warcraft 3 pro players (Lucifer, Grubby, LawLiet, etc).
---

I watch streams a few times a week. I've only subscribed to 1 person one time because they were trying to get to the point where they could quit their shitty normal job and do it for a living.

I like

Vinesauce
FGC streams
AngriestPat
Dark Souls speed runs (Elajjaz)
Peeve Peeverson
Maximilian dood
Criken

Whenever someone advertises their channel in a fighting game, I go to see what kind of commentary they had for our fights

No. I really don't get why people do. To each their own though.

I've watched my nephew stream on twitch once or twice but that was to be nice.
---

I do. They're fun as background noise for when I paint miniatures or for when I'm not feeling like gaming myself.
---

Just streams for Dark Souls 1, PUBG, and some retro stuff, I only follow channels, never subscribe.
---

Mainly speedrunners and when I got to witness a SMB3 WR live it made it all worth it. The tension and excitement during the last 10 minutes was insane.

Very rarely.

Pretty much only SaltyBet.

would often prefer just to play a game myself instead of watch someone else

I've never really got this as a response. I mean I watch twitch streamers from time to time when I just want some background noise, but the reason I put it on is when I don't feel like playing a game. It's not as if watching the twitch stream is taking away from time I would otherwise be playing the game.

And no I don't donate or subscribe to anyone, and never will.
---

Does the free monthly prime sub count? I only really watch TFS and Markiplier.
---

I only watch tournaments and speed runs for the most part. A few people are entertaining regardless of their content, like TriHex and Witwix. I dont sub to anybody, but I have considered it for people who fit into the latter group. I would pay for entertainment, nothing wrong with that.
---

Nah. Aside from sports, I'm too much of an on demand guy to really care about anything with a broadcast schedule live. I either watch stuff saved on my DVR or just content I marked to watch later on YouTube.

And for background noise I prefer other forms of streaming video or audio.

only vods

I do, I'm part of a Twitch community, and I'm back to streaming myself.

For now I'm streaming Wednesday nights, and whenever I feel like it. May do one tomorrow night.
---

Sometimes (very rarely) I watch Japanese streamers to get some Japanese practice here and there but my internet speed is too slow to do it often.

I used to fall into this mindset.

Then i started watching Twitch.

and now I can't stop.

Yeah, I watch a couple Soulsborne speedrunners, Elajjaz and Distortion 2, as well as a few other more popular streamers occasionally.

Elajjaz is the only one I sub to using Twitch Prime. He plays a lot of random horror games and other "so bad they're good" type games and seems like a pretty down to Earth Swede

I'll sub to you, my dude.
---

Thanks bro!

I'm easily terrified, so Prey is going to be interesting.

Might also stream Resident Evil Revelations 2 as someone just got me that.
---

I watched Twitch Plays Pokemon and the occasional NFLB summersim game, but that's it.
---

i'm trying to figure out how to turn my phone into a webcam cuz i'm too poor to buy one.

i'm kinda internet stupid though
---

Been a Maximilian Dood subscriber for about three years now. Never ceases to entertain.
---

I pick and choose stuff from GDQ streams once they've been uploaded to Youtube.

Same with Protonjon and his stream archive channel. Used to do that, at least - it made for nice background noise when I was playing Dark Souls or whatever.
---

I have twitch open pretty much the whole day but I only watch about 8 or 9 streamers regularly. I also tune in to tournaments in games that interest me

I'm subbed to 3 streamers.
---

Nah. Not my bag.
---

Just Dota stuff
---

Yes, quite regularly. I currently follow:

AmazHS
BrownMan
Day9tv
forsen
HSdogdog
nani
nl_Kripp
Reckful
Savjz
sodapoppin
Tidesoftime
Timpani

The only one I catch live is the Critical Role stream.

I'll watch Yogscast streams every once in a while, but I do it on their Youtube channel.

Yogscast is still relevant? WTF

I only watch xQc and sometimes other OverWatch (OW) streamers when they're not playing OW. Also whenever there's a Figthing Game Tournament for a game I like (Melee, DBZF or SFV) I watch those too.

For xQc, I just watch him. Any game he plays makes it pretty fun, because he is smart, but is pretty unaware and makes a lot of dumb decisions in any game that isn't OW. For OW, he makes plays but his teams are usually bots. There are games where his team pretty much carries him, but that's rarer.

He shows exactly what's wrong in OW matchmaking, some games are too easy, some are unwinnable, and very rarely he gets good games. His variety streams are also amazing.

For the other OW streamers, I'd much rather not watch them playing OW. When they play other games, they get cool, but OW is such a sleeper game, only xQc manages to somewhat make it interesting.

I don't sub or anything, at most I might follow it they put that dumb follower mode thing in chat. If they put a sub mode, I stop watching the stream.
