Re:Ask HN: Do you watch streams (on Twitch, etc.)? by dyingkneepad on Wednesday April 06, 2022 @11:47AM (#30933501)
Most streamers publish the interesting parts of their streams on Youtube, and that's how I watch them.

I only watch live streams when it's like a game tourney, but even then they if it's important enough they also have a live stream on Youtube.

Not that I like youtube or anything, but that's how I interact with the streaming world.

I once attended a live stream on Twitch because I wanted to ask the streamer a very specific question. He had 15 viewers at that time, he read my question and answered it. Then I thanked him and logged off.

Same, I only recently started watching twitch for the SplitGate pro series (an FPS game with portals). And I really only started watching it because I really love the game and started finding myself in ranked lobbies with pros. I'm not as good as them and don't have the time to be but I can hang. This got me into some other SplitGate streamers occasionally but I doubt I'll get into it much more than that.
