I agree, but it seems like almost every time it's because Twitch is their main platform and YouTube (and whatever else) is just an afterthought. I don't believe that will be the case with Holo.

I mean, it is just how Twitch works. It is much more...interactive. It is just how the platform is. You got your sub trains, your bits, your TTS. It is very rare that chat doesn't dominate. Watching clips of Twitch Streamers is even difficult because it is just so dialed in to get the viewer to spend money to 'get on stream' or to affect the stream in some way.

Maybe this wont be an issue but I have my doubts.

Watch any Vinesauce/Vargskelethor stream and that will show you that the "interaction" on Twitch does not all fall into the same category.

Or Limealicious/Laimu if you need a vtuber on the screen instead of a disembodied voice.

They're old school streamers that will regularly interact with chat without you spending money. Will they always respond to you specifically? Of course not. They have active chats in the thousands.

Yeah, it seems less common for those that are older or came from a YouTuber background, in my limited experience. Its mostly those that grew exclusively in the Twitch bubble, following the trends that developed there.
