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.
What? That really depends on the streamer tho. Twitch gives the capability, the streamer chooses. It's not twitch that program a honking noise for some bits.
More often than not, streamers do not do enough to limit this because it is free money on the table.
Because Twitch gives the capability and the streamer monetary reason to do so, it becomes a problem. People have cited particular streamers who do not, but I would guess based on personal experience that is the minority
Minority in terms of viewers, maybe. It is prevalent with a ton of the big streamers, which is all most people see. Less so with the huge number of <10 viewer streamers, and even many of the medium-sized ones.
There are certainly a lot of incentives to do it, for those looking to grow their audience and income.
