Sorry I'm gonna hop on this.
Y'all need to stop blaming Twitch or some boogeyman thing they're "doing" on why your views are low. The ad break screen thing already got debunked and discussed by an employee at twitch.
The extension that shows your "real" view count also isn't accurate.

Horrible red flag behaviour, if someone wants to lurk and chill then just let them
Having a no lurking rule is a surefire way to repel new and existing viewers
These are streamers who value their own success/growth over your comfort, it's absolutely selfish behaviour.

Please give your pet some love.
And failing that, if you have no pet to give love to, go look in the mirror and tell yourself youβre awesome and deserve love.

Be sure to vote in your state's elections. Once some more progressive candidates get in, then you vote in new candidates that are even more progressive, and so on and so forth.
I'd like to live long enough to see a world where every aspect of my identity isn't being attacked.

So, I'm a moron and didn't realize that Sameer Project wasn't on Tiltify or any of those platforms for streamers that lets viewers do a live crowdfund.
If I can't get something working before the date, I'll be doing the charity stream for the PCRF instead, just fyi.

Aetherius from Elder Scrolls
I am utterly devastated to hear about the passing of Camelworks. They were my biggest inspiration for creating videos on Elder Scrolls and I wish I got to tell them that in person, we always talked about meeting up but never got the chance.
Maybe in Aetherius brother β€οΈ

twitch is absolutely built on lurkers
in any other medium they would be called viewers
lurking isn't malicious, they are quietly enjoying your show
if you have people in your community quietly enjoying your work, you've fucking made it as an entertainer
for fuck sake THIS IS THE FUCKING GOAL

This is one of the things I point to when I talk about parasociality being a two-way-street.
You, as a creator, are not owed your viewer's time, attention, or money. I know it sucks trying to grow on these platforms, but they are people with lives aside of you. You have to be okay with that.

i can't describe this as anything other than grindset-brained. just absolute poison turning human interaction into a transactional relationship, for what's going to amount to pennies in earnings anyway.

I get that an empty chat is lonely. And I get that Twitch's recent anti lurker measures are frustrating. We're all on the same page. But the answer isn't calling out lurkers, putting the burden on them, or even worse, accusing them of malicious intent. Aim the frustration at Twitch, not lurkers.

Imma be blunt: If you sent me some type of shit like this, imma curse you out, call you out, block you, and ban you from my channel.
You can not force someone to chat in your streams, they have every right to lurk, and if you don't want lurkers, then don't be surprised as to why you're not growing.

Inititives like this are a huge part of how developers in Canada, Germany, and other countries with such grants were able to wind up such flourishing indie scenes tbh

Screenshot of Chrome settings, with Performance tab highlighted, and a red box around both Performance and the "Add" button for Always keep these sites active.
Screenshot of Chrome settings. "Add sites" page, "add current sites" tab selected.
Red box around "add Current sites" and a list of sites.
The tech behind this knows if the tab is asleep. In *theory* (and from some VERY quick testing myself) people can avoid this issue by adding twitch to this the "always keep these sites active" setting in Chromium browsers.

Had to bite the bullet and buy a second cord on rush order, ugh. It's still going to arrive super late but it's better than not knowing where the fuck the first one even is.
So this is my official "If you wanna help me recoup these stupid costs here's a link" post. Thanks all!

A pop-up on Twitch that says "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."
"Avoid minimizing or muting Twitch for a better experience"
Oh, that's why my metrics have taken a dive recently - Twitch pushed a new update that doesn't count someone as a viewer if they don't have the Twitch tab in focus
RIP everyone who watches streams in the background, Twitch has no idea how people actually use their platform
