I just started streaming a few days ago, and I’ve gotten pretty good engagement, but lots of silent watchers. I’ve noticed when people do hop in chat, they’re looking to immediately try and play my game with me which I am not interested In playing with a first time chatter, which has been extremely irritating, because i respond to every single person that asks, and then they just leave.
If it isn’t someone asking to join my game, it’s people thirsting after me and asking extremely personal questions, rather than engaging with me and my gameplay. I have stated completely ignoring these comments because I absolutely do not want to build my community around these types of chatters. But in return, everyone leaves and there is A LOT of dead silence in my streams because I am not interacting with anyone.
I just feel obligated to respond to every chatter right now because I am brand new and feel like i’m not growing.
