When people ask why TTG succeeded and transitioned onto a streamer with less push back then Watcher, it's this. Communication with random. Interaction and honesty with random. No one expects open ledgers to run through an audit of all the numbers, but a little both ways in the parasocial relationship goes a huge way toward breeding positive interactions. I know TTG aren't my friends, but at least videos like this go someway toward saying they don't just see us as a piggy bank either.
Side note: has anyone watched the newest PH? it's the one thing I was looking forward to but can't find myself interested in clicking on it.
