    During a COVID lockdown I was watching a 24 hr enduro sim race, specifically one team on YT. It was the night time portion and a Canadian was on shift while European drivers got sleep. He was super chill, driving amazing, and interacting with the chat out of boredom. So I asked him to say something while my disinterested wife was phone scrolling with nothing better to do…

    TV: “Hi <wife’s name>! I know you’re not into it, but thanks for watching from Australia!”

    wife looks up “Wtat the fuck?”

    Me: “Yeah I asked him to say that.”

    Wife: “That’s so weird. Tell him hi back.”

    This is why I hate watching streamers.

    They are playing the game, and constantly breaking the action to talk about shoutouts that adds zero to the experience

      You should check out APlatypus on Twitch. He went so deep into that hole of constantly shouting out and breaking action, that his stream became a comical bloat of videos and songs and meme clips playing on top of each other. I love the guy’s personality and humour, but it’s unwatchable after the first few laughs.

      Yeah, this is like my personal hell, to have a streamer do/play something that I’m genuinely interested in, but also, they’re a streamer.
