I agree that this is a wider problem with streams. I think the main problem is that starting a stream and talking about whatever in order to appeal to a larger and larger audience is rewarded rather than good research and preparing high quality content, like on YT or TikTok.
It’s just not possible when you’re streaming and would deat the purpose. It’s all quantity over quality, so assholes get to the top.

I think you can say the same for nearly all social platforms in the new age of internet. “influencers” generate “content” for their “followers”

Nowadays, yes. Go back 10-15+ years and it was quite a different experience.

I’d argue that it was the same, but now it’s more efficient and optimized.

Nah. People uploaded content they thought was interesting or funny, simply things they wanted to share with others, they weren't thinking how to milk the most engagement out of you for monetary reasons.

It sounds so dirty, doesn’t it?
