Yup. That's why I only watch one Twitch streamer (seems to not care about than nonsense) and a dozen or so YouTube channels (most are also decent). I've tried watching the more mainstream channels, and it's pure cancer.

I agree, the concept in general is incredibly annoying and why I am actively looking for alternatives elsewhere. I'd much prefer a model like Nebula (signup is $5/month) or Odysee (platform fees; Odysee channels set their own prices). Or maybe a pay-per-watch micropayment option through something like GNU Taler (let me watch the first 30s or so for free, then pay to continue).

But the current ad and public tip model just encourages distasteful behavior.
