Has Twitch reached an all time low?

Twitch has launched a new Social Eating category, and invited streamers to share their breakfasts, lunches and dinners in front of the camera.

Social eating is already popular in South Korea, where it is named "muk-bang" - literally, "eating broadcast".

Twitch launched its social eating category officially last night, following the successful roll-out of other non-gaming sections such as music, art and crafts.

art,3d modelling, music and coding had their own place on twitch because they often have something to do with videogames. You could see people drawing video game stuff, dota2 hat designers modelling 3d stuff, music stuff crossbreeding with the songs tournament broadcasters used in dead times.

at least they are creative activities.good music is worth hearing; an expert artist is worth watching drawing.It promoted creativity.

Eating has nothing to do with videogames and can lead twitch into stop being a videogame based streaming site and becoming an attentionwhoring site.
Do you enjoy seeing someone eating? good. but it's not an art, you can't be good at it and it's not fucking videogames, why does it need to be streamed?

in 2 years you will have sexy girls streaming themselves cleaning their house. "donation target 324/1000$: i'll vacuum clean under the sofa!". Mark my fucking words /v/, screencap my fucking words.

People are lonely. The same reason they watch people play videogames and movies. Eating together with some streamer is the same as dating. Really, it's just that simple. I take it you aren't old enough yet or have a normal social life. Age has nothing to do with not being able to understand though, you can't understand everything.

Soon the gaming part of Twitch is gonna break off and be reborn as a new site and eventually Twitch will die. And in 5 years they will introduce social eating channels on this new site.

Arguably worse.

It's like eating paper if you're hungry. Sure it might fill you now but the lack of nourishment will kill you in the long run. And since you're full from eating paper, you cannot eat any of the proper food that might come along.

Actually it's better than nothing, since if thre's nothing then maybe you'll come to your senses and actually get out of the house once in a while, instead of living in a fake fantasy world with your internet buddies.

No, they made Twitch on purpose and new JustinTV was a sinking ship.

Twitch is now a raking in way more money than JTV ever did due to company tie-ins and sponsorship, ads, etc.

Now that they have a strong structured site with steady money flow, they are looking to increase it even further with social channels like mukbang food watching.

Just watch Twitch become JTV 2.0. They had no real funding on JTV, but now they do on this new site.

It's also popular in Japan. They have entire channels and programs devoted to seeing people eat.

I lived in Tokyo for a while and was treated to a morning show where the hosts talked about current events while eating food they had brought, and they also discussed the food as well.

It was explained to me that there were two major draws to this. Asians in general are incredibly lonely people, so they eat while watching these programs and get a feeling that they are eating breakfast with other people. Like a pseudo-family event in front of the TV.

Additionally, there is also a different food culture wherein it is believed that you can get enjoyment and joy from seeing other people enjoying and reacting positively to a good meal, which is why the hosts go to great lengths to describe the flavor, texture and experience. Being able to tell your coworkers that you enjoyed a great and expensive meal yesterday is not necessarily a lie just because you watched someone else eat it, you still enjoyed it.

Good restaurants in Japan are also incredibly expensive, so watching people eat what is considered "top-tier food" is an experience in itself, as most working class Japanese (and likely most east asians) can rarely if ever afford it themselves. A dish with even a little beef in it for example can easily cost a good chunk of a monthly wage, so the alternative is simply to watch others eat instead of eating yourself, while imagining that you are eating.

I"m either on 4chan or watching a longplay or a "good" lets play.I can understand why people like social media but I sometimes wounder how many people just ignore all that kind of stuff. Like I don't really care for the people who stream it should be clear as fucking day they don't care for you. But why people so obsessed about them and shit that shows up on twitter? like threads showing up here talking about what (place person on youtube here) did or how much they hate them but none the less still talk about them like they have some kind of impact on them or the other way around.

Sure you can like a streamer or like a someone on youtube but stuff like this confuses the fuck out of me. I guess people do the same thing with movie stars?
