I am completely out of my depth and I feel like a cranky old man.

I went into one streamer's thing and it was titled like it was going to be a fairly balanced discussion of the political environment and it was all dudes with huge dogwhistle names going
"Is anyone here a male feminist? I want to know why."
"Male feminists are just in it to get the _____"
etc.
Exit, stage left.

How much do "gifted subs" cost and why do people throw them out like confetti?

What the fuck are bits?

I have no idea what's going on.

who was the streamer?
gifted subs cost 5 USD.
bits are basically a means of donating to the streamer. 100 bits is like $1

It was just a random one that looked like it could be interesting. It wasnt.

Really? I was in a channel where someone handed out like 30 gifted subs. Thats fucked up.

Generally speaking I'd just stick to gaming streams. The few good IRL streams are travel oriented.

I quit Twitch a while ago, around the time people stopped using Kappa and when you were forced to watch ads before even being able to view the stream. Now there's like 20 million different emojis and I have no idea what any of them mean. Everyone may as well be chatting in hieroglyphics.
