Sadly that has become pretty standard for Twitch streamers now. Apparently it works. Some even go as far as faking donations in order to encourage real ones. Can't watch a stream anymore without donations plastered everywhere and subscriber alerts going off every 5 minutes.

I don't know where it started, but I saw it a lot in hearthstone streams a lot. Then all of a sudden after years of not seeing donations on sc2 streams they were everywhere. I mean I'm glad people want to support starcraft streams but I feel like it's mostly personalities and meh players that get most of the donations

When diablo 3 expansion got released, i checked it through a stream. The guy was basically saying "i will suck your dick" every minute or so about donations or subs.

Yeah but this guy has 3/4 of is overlay about donation, race domation, top donator, 4k$ goal (wtf), 400 sub goal (wtf²).
This guy is making more than 7k$ a month for mediocre content because he is begging so much. I find it pitiful, really. In the meantime you see players like Mvp not even reaching 200 viewers.

Its very unlikely. If he does get donations its probably only when he casts major events like this.

It's the first or the second time he does that. He always had 2+k viewers constant while he is not that good (like mid master) and usually smurf again bronze players.

I went to his stream once because he had a lot of viewers but I never understood why. I feel like I'm missing something.

There was always someone who has a lot of viewers without a real explanation. Currently it seems to be Winter, in a few months, it might be someone else, we'll see I guess. There's nothing wrong with it I guess, if a lot of people enjoy their Spanishiwas,Destinys, avilos or Winters, that's good for them and it doesn't hurt anyone else either.

It hurts pro players that are in need of money too. They play at a much higher level. The sole problem is that they are lesss enternaining.

That's like piracy, you are taking for granted that people would watch the pro player if you removed for example Winter. That's just delusional thinking, most people wouldn't watch the progamer anyways..

Every sport on Earth has to be entertaining to an audience above all else in order to succeed financially, and Starcraft is no exception.

There's a reason caster don't show the player views often because unless you are a high level player you have no idea whats going on.

Could we guarantee that people, who watch for entertainment wouldn't just wander off to another game though? Idk if someone who watches for example Winter over Mvp would turn into Mvp if Winter wouldn't exist, or rather search for a personality similar to Winter in LoL, Hearthstone or elsewhere.

Yeah but what's Winters "thing"? He didn't seem to play at a particular high level, do funny strat or say funny things and as said the stream is spammed by donation shit.
