Thinking Lurkers is a negative term is perfectly in-line with how Dan Clancy has been running Twitch.
Many many Lurkers aren't actually counter as viewers because Dan here thinks that to be a true viewer, you gotta be active. You gotta be engaging with the chat instead of just enjoying your life and watching them. If you just watch, you're a.. *shudders* Lurker.
Lurkers are the backbone of Twitch and basically all streamers. Stop treating them like shit when they're 90% of the viewers on Twitch.
I disagreed with Dan Clancy when he said that “lurkers” is a negative term (I said it’s not, he said it is) and my follow up question was automodded for no reason. I honestly don’t understand how Twitch works anymore smh.
