This is why I hate watching streamers.
They are playing the game, and constantly breaking the action to talk about shoutouts that adds zero to the experience
Some people get really offended when their sub or donation doesn't get mentioned. I go so far as to re-sub when the streamer is offline to try and avoid it at all costs. Parasocial relationships are weird, man.
Yep, the best streams I have watched was the streamer spoke to the chat as if it was a single person, asking for advice or hints on how to continue.
DougDoug, while a bit unhinged, seems to always try to include the community into every stream
As long as it isn't just shoutout after shoutout after shoutout or similar dumb crap that doesn't add any real content
