Hey guys,

This really bothers me but I see a lot of people who watch streams and don't follow TF2 streamers. Even players who stream TF2 don't follow other streamers. You may think its stupid, but streamers watch that followers number like a hawk, because it signals to them that people appreciate what they do. They even do giveaways and fun things to celebrate this, because it means somethig to them.

It doesnt generate money for the streamer, but I know that seeing that number grow can give encouragement and motivation to keep streaming. More streamers means more coverage, more coverage means more viewers, and more viewers means a bigger scene for comp TF2.

This will take 15 seconds of your time. Click the link below and then click "Follow Members". Check the box for everyone and then hit OK. Doing this can literally increase the follower count for some exponentially, and it just feels awesome.

You can even choose to turn off notification emails in your twitch settings so that following people won't result in spam in your inbox or excess notifications.

It really means a lot. Thanks.

Oh and P.S. it's very easy to check how many other streams a streamer or twitch user is following. :)

following people on twitch or joining their steam stream group is more like consenting to be spammed by said people rather than to gain any usefulness from it so forgive me for not following the entire community.

More streamers means more coverage, more coverage means more viewers, and more viewers means a bigger scene for comp TF2.

idk if more coverage translates to more viewers. IMO if ANYTHING i would say it just dilutes the amount of viewers

I wake up one morning after not streaming for a week to find myself with 85 more followers. That was very confusing until I saw this thread.

you can do this: http://i.imgur.com/X1bdk.png

i like slin's idea but i feel like it's more important that new streamers or streamers with few viewers try to find a niche and/or put a bit more effort into the entertainment value of their stream

milehighmilitiafollowing people on twitch or joining their steam stream group is more like consenting to be spammed by said people rather than to gain any usefulness from it so forgive me for not following the entire community.

dudes got a point though. I have a steam group for streaming and everytime I post an announcement that I'm streaming I feel like:

1. a whore.
2. a little bit guilty because I don't like getting spammed with group alerts, so I feel bad doing it to other people.

as for getting email alerts, isn't there some way to disable them?
