The damage that online social media can do to you is becoming apparent

Interesting point about Twitch.

I watch Twitch semi-regularly since I don't have cable and limited streaming services. But I rarely interact with chat and the streamers I watch don't engage trolls and have a positive outlook even when they suck at times.

If you're using the term "troll" as meaning those engaging in conduct that is ban-worthy, then yes, I'd agree with that.

Honestly for me, it's more the constancy of people asking the same bloody questions..."what sliders do you use?", "why don't you play ___ mode?", "which team should I use?"...etc. Then you get the "look at me" guys who just post random crap like "I pulled XYZ card in MUT" in a franchise stream; like....no one cares. Or then you get the "Did you hear about _____?" folks over and over and over.

I'm just of the mindset of "don't talk unless you have something relevant to say" and expect others to do the same (and that is quite antithetical to the online paradigm these days). Get the vibe of the stream before interjecting something.

The "rub" for me is that a good streamer WILL interact with the chat holistically; which generally means interacting with this crap as well (at least to some degree). I finally had enough of it after many years.
