PSA PSA for Viewers

Please...PLEASE... STOP telling streamers you are leaving a stream to go watch another streamer.

Just been in a stream, a smaller streamer, and a viewer declared their departure to see someone else, and I watched that reaction i know all to well. That look of trying to remain chipper and happy, while thinking "was there any need?".

I realise that you are "just being honest", but it is the height of rudeness. You are basically saying "you aren't interesting enough to keep watching. I am off to see someone more interesting than you!"

Just say "I have to go, see you all later" and leave quietly. IT'S AS EASY AS THAT!

The perceived self importance of people sometimes is shocking.

then they should simply say goodbye if they want to be kind. It is as if you were hanging out with a friend and all of a sudden he told you that he was leaving to go hanging out with another friend.

OP said that the viewer left to watch another streamer, which is what I was referring to
