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
