    He has personality. Even if it’s abrasive at times or goes crazy. That’s something severely lacking in todays world. Too many awful boring people who try to be politically correct at the expense of showing anything other than mainstream emotions because the crowds tell them to do so. You better cry at this part of the MSQ or we’ll cancel you packs roaming twitch have turned most weak willed people to nothing but puppets and echo chambers.

    Anyways, that’s what I appreciate about what I’ve seen of him, but it’s still not enough for me to keep up with anyone on twitch regularly for that matter. But that’s besides the point.

    When someone makes money off of streaming a game and has to abandon it because there is nothing to do that’s not an easy business decision and comes with risk. But we’ve seen a ton of FFXIV streamers have to do so because there’s nothing to do.

    Streaming XIV has never been where the money is because most people interested in the game are, you know, playing it.


    Also, you don't have to be abrasive and a jerk to have a personality. There's other personality types than just "angry," but all anyone here seems to care about are the angry streamers lol. Those get the most attention for some reason. Maybe they see it as some form of "alpha male" or something? IDK. I don't even watch XIV streams, other the the clips I've seen where people go crazy.


    I used to watch his guides, because they were good. But again, he lost me with his unhinged rants when his favorite job wasn't the best anymore.

    I think 'personality' is the wrong word. It's more like 'he agrees with me, so I like him'. We're all like that in a way, we just don't like to admit it.

    Not really. And I don’t appreciate you putting words in my mouth. The reason I clicked on him was because maybe he was doing something in XIV that could change my perspective about what people are doing in the game this expansion.

    Imagine my disappointment when he’s doing the same most of us are in game. Nothing.

    What you are doing is just pretending to understand me and speak for me so you can swing my narrative to something less credible and more easy to ignore because you like to push your own agenda.

    I bet you don’t appreciate me reading you like that do you? Then don’t do it to me.

    I'm confident in my own feelings/opinion, so no, I don't mind you trying to twist what I said. Have at it.

    Yeah, call me a snowflake or whatever but I prefer to watch people who are more positive haha. Not necessarily about the games, I am a huge fan of the Game Grumps after all, but more just about how they interact with the world. I feel some of the more ‘angry’ streamers or YouTubers act it up a bit to get more attention, but that could be said about every who develops a fandom, and if people like them then each to their own.

    In regards to FFXIV, the only streamer I watch is Jesse Cox, because he seems like a cool dude and I like his other content too.

    I prefer positive streamers too. I pretty much only listen to MTQCapture's trial guides, as she does a nice succinct summary of what to look for when I'm learning content, and Pathra's FFXIV Drama Story time as she does like the game and her takes on "drama" is more entertaining and light hearted than mean spirited. I used to listen to Zepla on occasion as well before she shifted focus to a new game as a lot of her videos were positive at the time. Her speaking style was a little grating to some people in my household though so I'd have to lower the volume lol.

    People self-own on these forums in such weird ways.
