Imagine this:
- You run a streaming website
- You add a rule to remove lurkers from streamers chats when lurkers make up the majority of audiences on twitch
- The rule causes mass upset as people feel removed and not included, both streamers and viewers outraged. Streamers mentals drop due to the change and thinking they aren't good enough
- You forcefully add an AI training rule that streamers and viewers must opt out of as it forces you to be a part of it straight away. Everyone outraged for a second time
- Then! You add another rule to highlight trends of chatters, which could include an increase or decrease of chatters
- If the trend is negative, new viewers won't join
- Streamers upset AGAIN and their mental shattered for the millionth time this year by shite choices that are out of their control
I have never seen a site care less about their streamers than twitch
Bare in mind, without said streamers this site would make 0 money
new introduction!!
Hi, I'm Roomie! I'm a sleepy, singing, and sometimes dramatic dhampir vtuber!
I sing most streams but I do like chatting with my community, playing horror/cozy games and even do some hand cam stuffs!
Come say hi okay!

A little personal note before September begins. ✍🏻
Over the years, I’ve given a lot to this community — my art, gifts, discounts, free work, support, time, and sometimes much more than I probably should have.
I did it because I genuinely wanted to. I love giving to people, and I never did any of it expecting something in return.
But lately I’ve realized that somewhere along the way, my generosity started being treated as something expected rather than appreciated.. more than someone took advantage of me.
And that’s something I need to change.
September has always felt like the beginning of a new year to me, so I’m making myself a promise: I’m going to trust my gut more. I’m going to be clearer about my boundaries. I’m going to stop overgiving to people who only seem to appear when they need something from me.
This isn’t directed at one specific person, nor is it about expecting gifts or favors in return. It’s about reciprocity in its simplest form: feeling that the care, support and energy you give to people actually matter to them.
I still want to be generous. I still want to surprise people, support artists, help friends and give back to this community.
Thanks sm for your constant support, love you. ♥️
