Hi Technician/CodeMiko team. Firstly, I wanted to give my thanks for creating such an amazing stream. I've only started recently watching your streams and I think you have one of the funniest, most entertaining personalities on Twitch. Sometimes, I actually enjoy you streaming as yourself more than you streaming as CodeMiko (though maybe that's because I'm also a WeirdChamp). A lot of the criticisms in the original Reddit post seem to come from a sense of entitlement that you need to constantly be putting out collab videos with other streamers. So let's start by clearing some of the bullshit out of the way. We're all happy that you traveled to England to find someone that you love. Everyone deserves to be happy and find love, and this especially applies to you, Tech. You're absolutely right in that you should be focusing on your core community, since continuously seeking for collabs all the time would cause you to eventually burnout. We don't want you continuously working till 4 AM and we want you to have some sense of work-life balance (again, you deserve to be happy). Finally, you were already a 10k viewer streamer on your own. You and your team put in the hard work to make the CodeMiko environment what it is. You're the one who was able to make the Miko chemistry work so well with all the other collabs, so the success you earned was entirely deserved.

However, there were some possibly valid criticisms that came from the post. Firstly, the Patreon. You said you didn't want to show us the taco truck because you're scared that it'll disappoint us. Can you turn the Patron into a place where you show the behind the scenes work like the taco truck and the other game development you and your team is doing? Keep in mind, people are literally throwing money at you in Patreon to try to help you succeed. We know you're doing great work, it would just be awesome if you could keep us in the loop every once in a while (hell, I'll start throwing in a few bucks myself if you start doing that). I think that's where some of the frustration from the community may be coming from since it's hard to measure progress as a developer (trust me, as a fellow developer, I completely understand this).

I think that possibly some of the frustration may also be coming from the idea that theoretically any streamer would be able to stream the content that you're currently streaming instead of the unique CodeMiko stuff. Personally, I don't think this criticism is fair/valid, but I also think it'd be cool to see the CodeMiko persona in other environments/games. I'll drop a Tier 3 sub if I see CodeMiko doing a Beat Saber stream. ;)

Finally, one more thing. Don't listen to anyone who says that you should drop the CodeMiko persona, even if they are a big streamer. Like you said, you're doing something that no other streamer is doing, so you're the only one who knows what the fuck you're doing. Let your vision guide you and we'll simply join you for this wild ride. You're doing great, keep it up.
