You have a a stream of like a 1 or 2 thousand and 20 or 30 people constantly chatting. Maybe 50 max. Even weirder to me is that it seems like there are a decent bit less who actually try to communicate directly towards the creator unless they're part of the "in" group. Besides situations where the streamer will ask chat questions or have a conversation with chat atleast, but there still aren't that many relative to how many people are actually there even in those cases. Is it normal to just watch a live stream and just lurk in the chat or something? To just completely ignore it even? That just seems to go against the point of it to me. --- I do drawings and stuff https://www.fiverr.com/blueblitz <cite>itachi15243 posted [p:978700019] in When you'r...

LoveLikeJazz 02/07/24 12:16:37 AM #12:	Rarely because nobody's going to see it most of the time. It depends how fast the chat is going. I like to watch LobosJr and his chats usually don't go too fast, so I've actually had a few back and forths with him in the chat. Sometimes I'll ask a question about a game I've decided to check out on Twitch and the chat itself will answer me. It's not all that bad, but what truly is cringe are all the simps in the tit streamer chats.
