>>319586375
I watch Witwix and Sips, they're pretty gud
I also watch Lirik too sometimes but his chat is in perma-sub mode.
Kripp still doesn't advertise donations or have any "sub goals". Yeah he does the brofist shit but he doesn't have any pop ups that interrupt the gameplay and he only mentions it during downtime.
Every other streamer that gets 10k+ viewers are just like you mentioned.
Sodapoppin basically berates the people who donate to him t b h
Agreed. Went into this one stream and started fucking around that I caught sniffing my sisters panties and I was hiding at the library with 20 missed calls from my mom. Got perma banned from chat almost immediately. Fuck twitch.
>>319586375
Watch someone good like Elegy of Games (he's the EleGiggle guy) or Admiral Bahroo.
How about you go see some small streamers?
We arent over the top entertaining because we aren't fake. Just make sure to avoid people who have donation buttons.

Lirik is my favorite streamer, watched him before his channel blew up. The chat is cancer though.
>>319587668
Op here. I would be game. I don't know any of them because most of them disappeared.
I used to go to EvaXVidya back in the day before he went full faggotmode, then went to keefersvidya until that shut down. now i don't know where to go to find a good community.
>>319588157
It takes a little effort on your part.
You have to sift through a LOT of garbage to find someone you like.
>he watches a 'streamer'
Streaming and e-sports is killing video games.
I'm glad the bubble is finally popping for one of them.

>watching Streams of people playing videogames at anything below the professional level
when did /v/ get so casual?
>>319589739
There is nothing wrong with streaming. It's genius. I can play games with anyone. It's like taking turns on levels with friends but you never have to hand over the controller.
Whats fucking stupid is the donation shit. If that was banned immediately then you would only have the people who do it for FREE err... fun

you're also a fucking autist if you think i was relating old /v/ to a time period where the /v/ stream spinoffs were good.

But we have a whole board dedicated to Tumblr.

And whatever parts they don't cover, we have backup.

>>319591497
That's why I can't understand the above argument. I loved the comfy communities without heirarchies or drama and a good consistent crowd of 50-70 people and 5 or so different streamers taking turns.
>>319591921
>nobody on 4chan does tumblr
Good one. No really, if you spend even a week here, you'd notice on /v/ there ls plenty of evidence pointing towards cross posters. If you want more immediate proof go and visit /soc/.
>>319591497
We're still out there.
I might write a plugin that scrubs all streams that have donation links.
>fucking good streamer: max donation $1
>gril just speaking bullshit instead of playing: max donation $735

>>319592036
Never visited those boards. Never will. I stand by my statement. Tumblrinas and SJWs hate this site, I don't think there's any middleground.
>>319592265
How do you think people on twitter/tumblr that tell stories of being 'attacked' are coming from?
>>319592071
Communities like Vinesauce almost instantly went to shit when Vinny quit his actual job and started making the site his job and taking it seriously.
Streaming as a form of income was a mistake.
you faggots don't even realize how cancerous you really are.
>>319592265
>Tumblrinas and SJWs hate this site
Again, they do not as /co/ is the embodiment of Tumblr, and /cgl/ is the embodiment of every GRILL ON THE INTERNET stereotype/stigma.
>>319592265
I hope you know just about every draw fag in /v/ draw threads has a tumblr.
There are many different kinds of streamers
the most prominent ones are the ones that get thousands of viewers and have obnoxious sub and donation notifications, the only way to interact with these is with donations because chat is too goddamn fastunfortunately Trihex has fully transitioned to this
Another kind is similar, but are not as big and actually interact with the chat, they'll average around 500 viewers or less
Some of the best ones are small streams where chat has max of 20 people, allowing the streamer and people in chat to properly hold conversations (this is assuming the streamer isn't a douche of course)
I saw an odd stream last night where the guy had a big setup with templates, a donation bar and the kind of stuff you'd expect from a huge stream but he only had like 8 viewers and he was pretty douchey so of course there are outliers with that too
>>319592440
Yeah. Our users go there to troll them. That much I know. various 4chan boards go to tumblr to fuck with them and start hilarious new trends and hashtag movements. That doesn't imply that they are members of the tumblr community.
>>319592509
I was actually on vinesauce a few hours ago before I made the above post.
>gril gamer with annoying voice
>streaming DA origins
>squeals every time she defeats any boss type
I noped right out of there. Vinny is the only person I would watch and he never even streams.
>>319592923
>OUR
>troll
>implying /v/ doesn't respect it's old draw-friends
Alright I'm done. I've ridden this bait train for far to long.
>>319592787
>implying I pay attention to draw fag threads
No. I refuse to give that the time of day.
>>319592896
The ones with templates and shit when they have 8 viewers are fucking idiots. Went to this one stream with NO viewers and the streamer called me out and asked for a donation. I had this happen twice in one night.
Who are some streamers you used to watch but can't really stand anymore?
I watched Lethalfrag for most of his "challenge" shit but he became pretty whiny as his viewer count grew and I just wasn't into the pinball shit.
Lirik's streams have been pretty shitty lately too.
>>319593258
>I'm going to pretend many threads and even entire boards don't exist to support my naivety that 4chan hasn't been full of cross posters for year
OK bub.
>>319593509
*for years
>>319592265
That's because you're dumb and think that people can only use one website at a time
There's millions of people using twitter or tublr and you generalize all of them as one persona
>>319593421
Lirik has stagnated. He went through a phase where all he would do is shit talk subs and ban people because he couldnt handle it. Now he just does the following:
>play new release for 2 hours
>get bored
>play A3L, DayZ, H1Z1
Repeat.
>>319590010
Man this post is just something else.
>>319593509
>confusing refusal to acknowledge the existence of other boards and percieved inabilility to understand that crossposting is evident everywhere on the internet
Naw son i just don't give a fuck about those boards because I'm don't spend my entire life on here like you.
Nice try.
>picking a fight on /v/
I can spot the shut ins before they even think they have revealed themselves.
Because making stream threads have been against the board rules since before Twitch, and the only way to find good stream was here.
>Chatting
>>319593846
How much time I spend here isn't relevant.
>I stand by my statement. Tumblrinas and SJWS never visit this this site, I don't think there's any middle ground.
You're still hilariously wrong there. I'll assume you know as much too since you've now resulted to ad hominem

Yet, you think you can make an educated assertion about the kinds of people who post here?
>>319593783
>mfw you actually think i believe this just because I don't give a shit about other websites
>mfw i have no face
wow, I think you might actually be the dumbest person to have the misfortune of responding to yet another one of my shitposts.
let me break it down for you.
>some beta uses /soc/ or /co/ for some reason (why would you go to a fucking social board on 4chan? are you that desperate?)
>also uses tumblr
You are making the mistake of associating the people that browse these boards with being members of the 4chan "community" or whatever the fuck this conglomeration of autism and aspie is.
Son that's your biggest mistake. Any faggot that lurks those boards isn't a real wizard that uses 4chan to it's full ability.
Secondly, tumblr is the absolute embodiment of a lack of understanding, especially when it comes to social issues and how to approach them. See PC police, SJWs, black community, anything else. Nothing good comes from that website. And the sad part? They're serious. The actually believe what they spout.
4chan is implicitly different. If you browse this board with any degree of seriousness about the business you conduct here, you are BEYOND help. 4chan is a place for wizards, for magic, for shitposting and trolling of the highest order. That is /v/, that is other boards I refuse to name because they are cancer, that is every hardcore board on this website. /soc/? /co/? That's where the kiddies are. 5 year olds who never grew up and now they're lurking 4chan for friends and casual, realistic discussions. That's not what this website is for.
There you have it. 4chan is a contradiction of itself. it's a joke. Nothing here is serious and everything is a work of fiction. Tread carefully. And even when we're serious, we are maniacal meme spouting trolls. Tumblr takes itself too seriously to have any hope of having a sense of community that can be split amongst members.

Let me correct myself.
I'm sure they stumble across it, see it, maybe lurk one board where they think, "hey! I like comics! neat!" and get invested. Yet they aren't really part of the collective. They're part of this stupid "nerd XD" generation. It will stop soon.(ish)
>>319594748
I don't see why people don't just do shoutouts at the end of the stream.

>>319593792
Sounds like he's just following the money
>new releases get lots of viewers
>survival games and games with random elements (Hearthstone, etc) get lots of viewers
I really don't have a problem with donations and the subscriber button, but when it gets to the point people are just playing games they have a lukewarm interest in at best for the high viewcount it gets very dull
You can tell they're going through the motions at that point
>>319596180

And for the op

>FFS can't even swear in chat
>can't lol and truly enjoy true stream bro experiences any more
>no real connection with the streamers
If the only reason your watching streams is to watch the streamer make fun of people then you need to get your head checked. You're looking for an interactive /v/ TV channel with namefagging, which is why all the /v/ streams died. Im on /v/ because I dont want to get to know you faggots, why am I gonna go to a stream so I can have a connection with another faggot who has to shit talk people to get your respect. Nice logic. some of those old /v/ streams still exist, but its mainly a wigger smoking weed, streaming naruto and going on epic chat raids of other streams. Theres a reason this shit died. Let it stay dead.
Tons of good streams. Good luck finding them. It's probably not worth the effort, which is why streaming sucks.
