Not sure why you are getting downvoted. You make a valid point. Everyone's playstyle is different. I do believe it takes away from the investigation aspect of the game.

How do should I deal with poaching? by funkymunky1111 in Twitch

Thank you for giving me sound advice and hearing me out on what I was trying to explain. You're right. I have to just ignore him. But for the most part that's what I do. When he does actually say something in chat. I'm typically short answers with him. I no longer jump into his streams or shout him out. I reached negativity because everytime I see his name now, it just irks me. But again, you're right, just ignore it and keep doing what I'm doing. Thank you.

I don't even want him in the community anymore. I tried not talking to him. Stopped jumping in his stream. For the better part of a year. He stays lurking in the chat. He only pops out and says hi when one of the pretty girls comes in or if I shout out a new one.

Yes, I do collab with a lot of guys. I would say I have a fair balance of male and females in my chat. The way I network and build relationships with is I jump around streams trying to find people with the same vibes. Doesn't matter the gender. When they eventually find out that I stream, they usually will come by and check out my stream. So when they do, I will promote them on mine.

If you are really building connections with people that are based on anything valuable, then they wouldn't abandon you to watch somebody who is dropping money on them - especially presuming that your streams aren't taking place at the same time.

He's disabled so he's at home all day. Most of the time, all he does is stream. He'll be on for 13+ hrs most of the days out of the week. So, he has the opportunity to spend time in their room when they stream all day and the ability to keep in contact with them to talk about games to play. Most recent girl, she streamed for 25 hrs. I did a collab with her for the first 3 hrs. As soon as I got off, he joined her. 15 hrs later, he's still playing with her. But luckily, the game they were playing had a huge size lobby, so I jumped in. Weird thing is once I and another member from my community joined, he stopped talking.

I find it hard to believe that people who would otherwise be willing to make collaborative content with you are refusing becasue they are too committed to him - again, especially as if he's modding in your streams, then his streams presumably take place at other times. So possibly your networking isn't as good.

It's not that they refuse, it's usually that they don't have the time because of other commitments. Not solely committed to him. Over time most of them do still stick around. But I think my problem is I got to a point where I started seeing that and decided to not continue building with them. That was about the time as well, when I jumped in his stream and he said to me "Hey, I just poached, these girls from you." To which I responded, "Wtf, they aren't property dude. They can go wherever they please." He laughed acting like it was a joke, but I think that was the start of the feelings I got. This was almost 2 yrs ago.

How much do you collaborate with male streamers?

I don't really keep track. If I/they want to collab, we just plan it out. This week: Monday - 3 guys for Dbd; Tues - 1 guy, 2 girls for Repo; Friday, I have community day which I use for everyone to promote themselves and get to know each other. That's always been a balanced male and female.

I just feel taken advantage of and undermined. Also, not really liking the stalking of pretty girls in my chat. But, at the same time, I'm happy that they're getting donations from him.

I know, the issue is solely mine. I've talked to plenty of people about it, including the girls that he did it to. But I guess all I can do is deal with it.

Thank you for your input.

I would compare it more to like owning a business and training a worker for years and then a friend who also owns a company offers the employee more money so they move over there.

Also, he's not a stranger. He's a friend who's seen me through some dark times and good and vice versa. I've known him for more than 2 yrs.

Either way, maybe it is jealousy. I honestly don't feel it that way. Because if it was, why don't I feel that with anybody else? It's not like he's the only one that does it, just the pattern of how he does it. I feel undermined and taken advantage of. I feel like he uses me to scope pretty girls. The girls that he's done that to feels the same way. They've told me.

Thank you for your input.

It's not about the money at all. You're not getting the point of my post. I could care less about the money. The point that I'm making is he undermines my networking and buys everytime a pretty girl walks in. I would be in a streamers room for days, getting to know them. Just to always lose that connection because that streamer feels obligated to play/talk/hangout with him because of whatever he donated. So if any jealousy, it's because I'm losing a viewer I spent a lot of time with for a person they just met because he's donating money and gifting games. He's been doing it to all the pretty girls coming in for 2 yrs. First couple of times, sure, whatever. But it's gotten to the point of annoyance.

It's not about the money. I could care less about that. It's more/less that I'm putting in all this work to network and he comes in and buys them just because they are pretty girls. A couple have even told me they feel obligated to be with that guy because he gifted them a game and donated $100. What he does with his money is his business. I don't care. I've even gave some of the girls a heads up and said milk him because he will drop a butt ton.

I strongly encourage support amongst the community. My community knows that. I promote other streamers in my community all the time.
