Wish they would go after the starting soon screen that most run for 30 minutes before they actually get on to stream
What exactly is the harm? I would assume they are checking to ensure all of their hardware and software is working as intended. You're free to view something else or enjoy an entirely different activity in the interim.
I think what they mean is that it takes storage space for no reason after the stream is over
That's viable. I think limiting total storage and leaving it up to them to trim the video down is a good solution.
If someone says the show is starting at 7:00 and I arrive at 7:00 I expect their show to start within a few minutes. If they're still checking to make sure things are working a half an hour later, they fucked up.
That sounds very entitled, honestly. They have zero obligation to you, and things happen.
I do considered myself entitled to people keeping their word. It's obviously a dying belief however.
They have every obligation to their subscribers. Streamers are professional beggars, suggesting that they have no obligation to their viewers/subs is kind of ridiculous.
They literally don't. You are not buying the person, that is ridiculous. If you feel inclined (you're not to), you can send money because you enjoyed the stream or whatever. Throwing money at them did not create an obligation on their part. That's entitlement.
What exactly do you think the business model of streamers are? We're not talking about Joe playing baldurs gate with his 15 subscribers. We're talking about Rihanna showing up 4 hours late, drunk as fuck.
Rihanna is a billionaire. Streaming is not in her business model. 🤣
No you're buying the content, which is the person. I'm not debating this with you.
Then why are you debating? You're wrong and entitled. Frankly, it's a bit disgusting to think you have purchased a person for $5 or any amount.
No, that's a ridiculous assertion. What you're saying is that streamers just get money simply for existing, are you serious?
The streamer is the content, if you don't like that - stop watching live streams/streaming.
I'm not the one whining about "professional beggars." 🤣
Unless specifically noted, you haven't bought anything by sending money. It is essentially a tip showing gratitude for the content.
If you don't like it, then stop sending money or even watching. It's really simple stuff.
I don't, I think twitch is a cesspit and more or less functioning as propaganda.
