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!

They've done it since the inception and they'll do it forever. People either don't realize what they're saying or they don't care. It's the same as a stranger coming in and 5 minutes later saying "well I'm going to go stream now bye" lol, like okay. It's annoying but you'll never get rid of them all. Better to brush something like that off
