When you're watching a stream on YouTube or Twitch, do you participate in chat?

This is actually pretty surprising.

I thought one of the biggest draws of a stream was being able to participate and talk with creators.

I feel like youre asking CE, an older demographic.

Younger folks are the ones chatting.

For me, I dont watch streams live. I only watch retroactively.

But I dont see the appeal of commenting something just for the streamer to ignore you because they have an incentive to focus on superchats instead. Some streamers dont even read those.
A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm.
