Very few steamers are genuine. They cultivate personas that function as idealized friends in order to generate money via parasocial attachment.
This is a very technical way of saying “no, those streamers were not actually pissed - they were broadcasting emotional responses congruent with the desires of their paying audiences”.
Same, the only streamer I watch the vods entirely for is Joel from vinesauce and that mostly cuz the guy is just funny. Occasionally I watch Pippas streams but I am mostly in it for the clips and long form edited content(like huge compilations like the hololive sports festival ones). Just don't have the time nor the energy to watch multiple hours of multiple people.
Do people here really spend time watching twitch streamers and "vtubers"?
Yo.
I don't watch the full streams, but the various clip compilations are honestly funny.
The reactions among some of the streamers to this entire brouhaha has been, well... some of them have gotten really, really pissed.
It'll be interesting to see the long-term fallout from all this.
