Episode 61: Twitch Donations
About this Episode
What kind of relationships exist between Twitch streamers and their audience members?
How is it different from other kinds of online relationships? And why do people offer monetary support to streamers? Why do some streamers get more donations than others? Is it because they're super hot? Do they do a good job of making lonely people feel included? Do they do something to make their audience members feel like they're just two friends hanging out online? Put another way: If you were a Twitch streamer, what lessons could you draw from the research that has been done about all this?
These are the kinds of questions that I will investigate and answer with the help of this episode's guest expert.
