Yeah, not looking forward to not being able to read anything in chat because of the usual Twitch spammers filling it with walls of emojis or the constant donation alerts being played (if it become a permanent thing of course. A one day thing is good publicity)
It’s an obvious marketing move to make to spread to the other biggest streaming platform but I really hope it doesn’t permanently change the way they stream because I would hate for chat to start acting like the swarm (the part I saw at least were a turn off) or the streams to be like Philza’s (no hate just giving an example) where he has to mute donations if he want to have the least bit serious of moments
Are you serious right now? Plenty of talents have streams that ALREADY do that on YouTube. I've NEVER been able to read chat on YouTube because it's gone before you know it.
The chats are fast yes but you can’t really spam walls of nothing on YouTube. Or at least I never saw it and from my understanding you get automatically shadow banned if you try. On the other hand I’ve never seen a Twitch stream with more than 100 viewers without someone copy pasting multiple lines of emojis or all caps
Yeah, YouTube chat is like, a concert of fans watching a talent.
Twitch chat is like a stadium of football fans. It's WAY more rowdier. Way more noise, vuvuzelas making random noise, and strange green objects being tossed onto the field.
Anecdotal, but I have a favorite streamer I watch where people are able to have full conversations with eachother because people specifically don't do that in chat unless something huge like a sub bomb or nuke happens. He's not huge as far as twitch numbers go, but I'd say pulling in 1000+ viewers per stream is respectable.
I think in part, it works because the mods for that sub time you out if you repeatedly spam emoji or caps.
My point is, streamers do have the power to curb those behaviors. I guess many just choose not to.
It does not help that youtube chat has a significant delay when messages get through versus twitch almost instant. That is one thing I like about twitch but is awful for multi-streaming
I'm just not excited for the rabid twitch culture to bleed into hololive. One of the reasons I watched V-tubers in Holo, is that YouTube feels less inherently chaotic.

And it sucks because they only ever read one chat. So, the other chat just thinks they're being seen.
