Unpopular opinion, but I miss the 2020/2021 era of streaming when things actually felt organic. Nowadays every stream feels like it’s just a massive set-up for a 15-second TikTok or a Short. Does anyone else remember when streamers actually just chilled with the chat for hours instead of doing these loud, over-the-top stunts every 5 minutes to get a "💀😂" reaction? The "loud = funny" meta is honestly getting old and it’s lowkey ruining the community vibes. We need that old authenticity back because this scripted energy ain't it. Who’s with me?
