Reaction streams on Twitch are arguably the most engaging type of content put out by Just Chatting streamers. The category has, in one form or another, always existed on the internet, perhaps because it captures the attention of audiences in a way that other video content cannot. Online reactions create an environment in which audiences and content creators can share the experience of watching something for the first time. As far as what they react to, there have naturally been plenty of Twitch trends over the years, some of them good, some bad, and some downright weird. Most recently, however, the increase of live reactions to the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial has come across as morally questionable at best. It's true that Twitch users are within their right to react to whatever content they want to, whenever they want to. Practically no one will argue that this creative freedom should change. Still, this sort of trend does beg questions about what sort of content viewers want to see online. Given the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard lawsuit, it may be a good time to take a step back and reconsider the attitude toward online drama—and this applies…

By default, Twitch allows redirects or raids from anyone, a setting that can be changed but many don’t do that. This has created the issue of ‘hate raids’, where a streamer’s channel is flooded with abusive text, whether through bots or other users directed there from another channel that has an issue with the streamer. Taking note of this, YouTube…

Amy Poehler’s Twitch tutorial Comedian Amy Poehler helped Amazon’s pitch to media buyers on Monday, at the e-commerce giant’s first live NewFronts: not an “upfronts,” “downfronts” or “oldfronts,” Poehler quipped. Poehler needed some help, though, with Twitch—she’s not in the main demographic for the video game-focused site. Amazon-owned Twitch is a place to “watch people, watch people, play video games,” Poehler said, a little bemused. To "help" her, friend and fellow comedian Paul Scheer played a little game show called “Teach Amy Twitch.” The bit also served to teach advertisers about the platform.   Amazon’s NewFronts focused on new ad products in Prime Video and Freevee, the ad-supported video-on-demand app. Amazon shows have new virtual product placements. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell also presented, discussing Amazon’s new football streaming rights. And Twitch touted new brand-friendly material, like an unboxing show called “Drops with Swagg.” While many things have changed more than two years into the pandemic, it seems comedians' jokes about advertising dealmaking have remained much the same. Poehler made fun…
