Like twitch is setup to be like this, the streamers knew this before starting to stream so why do Lud and some of these other people seem like they hate it. Like this was known, you wanted to be a full time streamer, you wanted to get the viewers. Chat isn't new, the twitch crowd isn't new, the idea behind Twitch isn't new. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

If you really don't like seeing comments in chat with people using hyperbole to show a bit of appreciation, then turn off chat but no, they want the viewers and the money and the subs that comes with a chat without any of the messages of the chat. They talk about not liking backseating but they also are okay to pick and choose what backseating comment they want to listen to when they feel like.

If they really wanted to be seen as a TV show, then go do all their gaming offline, and just upload videos to YouTube. Easier to ignore comments there which is what all big YouTubers do. Like TV actors don't go around telling fans the same thing.
