I recieved this email today. I don't use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don't know these people and I'm a 100% certain they don't know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.

Those aren't even real people. Those "usernames" are the names of custom emojis you can use in Twitch chat. Still weird in context, but I can see how it would be even more creepy if you didn't know that.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Those aren't emojis, these are emojis (-; :p o-: 0==8 <3. In my time, we still had respect for our elders.

Now get off my lawn!!!

Autocorrect wages its battle to destroy the evil forces of the Emoticons.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

That fact makes it so much weirder

Request removal from emailing list or mark it as spam.

Do people actually form any sort of relationships in Twitch chat? For a decent size streamer, chat moves so fast that I can't imagine anyone ever recognizing anyone.

Maybe for a super small streamer.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn't happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot larger than you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That's still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

You certainly can if you spend any decent amount of time in one game’s directory or stick to streamers in the couple thousand viewers at most. Basically niche games or being a regular to a small streamer mean you can make friends on the platform or at least recognize people.

I’ve been on the platform since 2012ish and have been a part of some great communities there, I also enjoy the massive streams of day Lirik or Summit1G but those I watch if I’m not wanting to talk to others since the chat is 10000 mph

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

If you find the 10-100 viewer streamers playing fun and community games it can be nice and chill.
Feels like old school cs1.6 community servers where you hang out with regulars and have fun.
The community gaming is probably what makes it, tho

Everyone deals with spam and junk mail. If we all posted all of them, this community would suck more.

I don't see how this fits mildly infuriating. It's a normalized everyday marketing annoyance.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

What differentiates an annoyance from something that is mildly infuriating? Seems like they're pretty much the same to me.

Anyways, if this community doesn't get any content, than i guess "mildly infuriating" means "nothingness". We define the meaning of the concept by what we post here and what we upvote here.

Peter: I wouldn't say I've been "missing" it, Bob. 😉

How do you not know CorgiDerp???

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

OP created an account > didn't signed out on emails > gets email > 😠😠😠😠

No, but seriously, this is not toxic marketing, the "users" are emotes, something very clever but that is lost on you and that's fine; but to call it toxic... I don't know Rick.

  • I will keep the comment as is, I was informed this is illegal in some regions. Marketing is... marketing & as someone that has worked for agencies I am knowledgeable enough to admit that some tactics are indeed invasive an/or dubious. No offense to anyone was intended.
[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Why on earth are they entitled to sign me up by default for emails? Especially when they often make sure the box to opt out is as easy to overlook as possible?

You’ve got this backasswards.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Opt-in by default is illegal, so OP has every right to be annoyed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Didn't know that. Can you tell me who is supposed to enforce this and where is the law from?

When you accept the ToS I always understood that I was signing in for emails, just like (in my experience) 100% of other services/sites like Spotify, Proton, Bandcamp, eBay, Facebook, X, GitHub... well I'm not gonna list every single one but you get me.

Still, thank you for educating me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

It's EU's GDPR.

Anything like a newsletter or marketing must be opt-in. And it cannot be bundled with other consent, that is they can't refuse to provide you a service if opt-in isn't absolutely necessary.

To be honest, not sure if any other countries have such laws.

[–] pantyhosewimp 5 points 9 months ago

If “mildly infuriating” is just a synonym for “annoying” then I’d say this post nails the theme perfectly.

If you dont meed it any more, just have your account deleted

I believe that you can only deactivate through the menu but need a direct link to the deletion page
