Not totally. For smaller streamers, it's easy to interact with the streamer. And many people make friends in the chat and that's even why they keep coming back for - the community in the chat.

Online chats don't really compare to IRL interactions though.

There's currently an epidemic of genz who barely interact with their virtual friends.
