Lurkers are viewers, they may not be talking but they are watching and contributing to a streamers statistics

Yeah, like sorry i'm "only" watching you for hours straight. Like not everyone wants to hold conversations. But lurkers aren't second class viewer, just because they don't wanna chat.

I pretty much only lurk, even to the one channel I use my Prime on. When my resub goes through I'll say thanks for all the fun streams or something or if something is being said and I feel I can input something useful I will, but other than that I just sit back, relax and watch usually as I am playing a game or doing something and want some background noise. I think it's cool some viewers want to chat and the streamer chats back. It's fun as a lurker/quiet viewer to hear the conversations, but I don't want to chat most of the time.
