Said twitch channel, who is usually live 4 or 5 nights a week... hasn't been since literally there big push (birthday celebrations) for subs... when I was gifted one. So 15 days into sub, streamer still not live.

Was curious. Many mediums they post, nothing. Join thier discords, oh, they've just been at a festival and haven't been doing anything since.

FFS. Honestly? My first experience of subscriptions for this sort of thing, and 0/10. It's a subscription, not a donation? ergh.

@an0key it's because someone bought a number of gift subscriptions which are randomly allocated to people watching the stream. It's one way of donating to a Twitch streamer.

@an0key yeah, but sometimes life happens

@russss I get that.... I don't get the option of being paid for a month, and delivering half though.

anyhow, new to how this streaming stuff works :)

@an0key @russss I think most people treat streamer “subscriptions” as more of a tip than something with any attached expectations.

@jon @russss that does seem like it, which I get too.
