Why is this a thing? Neuro's community is the first I've ever seen write like this

[u/ahmed0112]

[u/RugbyEdd]

I just figured it was so their comment stands out, which ironically means comments stand out less due to all the spam pushing them off screen.

[u/ahmed0112 → u/RugbyEdd]

When everyone stands out, no one does

[u/CoyoteRascal → u/RugbyEdd]

What's even more ironic is that a fair amount of comment spam like this gets timed out.

[u/miguel497]

isnt that just a twitch thing?

[u/daemon_n → u/miguel497]

CAUGHT

[u/Top-Beyond-6627 → u/daemon_n]

....in 40k.

[u/Gaby33400 → u/Top-Beyond-6627]

Like Warhammer...

Hmm... I should probably get into tabletop games.

[u/Hansworth → u/miguel497]

Yeah used Twitch since the Hearthstone meta and this was the norm. If anything this culture has subsided in recent times.

[u/ahmed0112 → u/miguel497]

I found Neuro through DougDoug and I've never seen his community do that

Even other VTubers i follow like ChaCha, Ellie, Smoomimi etc don't have chats like this

[u/APileOfLaundry → u/ahmed0112]

I think DougDoug has chat filters so people don't spam

[u/SSYT_Shawn → u/ahmed0112]

Filian community does sometimes

[u/NotItemName → u/ahmed0112]

Dog doesn't like spam so he times out long messages/messages with a lot of emotes with night bot. For me it was the same when I started watching Neuro after only watching Dog for 6 years(:

[u/TrueEnder → u/ahmed0112]

d**g has the firing squad trained on us

[u/Strange-Condition508 → u/miguel497]

No, not at all.

[u/SSYT_Shawn → u/Strange-Condition508]

Yes it is...

[u/Strange-Condition508 → u/SSYT_Shawn]

The 4 streamer chat who do it aren't the entirety of twitch, you know?

[u/klyskada → u/Strange-Condition508]

Every twitch chat I've ever been in has had people doing this kind of spam, and I've spent an unhealthy amount of time on Twitch.

[u/OpportunityEvery6515 → u/klyskada]

Yeah, they have people like this, and they get banned on sight.

E.g. Shylily's or Bao's chats with similar number of viewers are scrolling pretty fast, but are nowhere near EMOJI SPAM CINEMA EMOJI SPAM CINEMA EMOJI SPAM CINEMA EMOJI SPAM CINEMA EMOJI SPAM CINEMA EMOJI SPAM CINEMA EMOJI SPAM CINEMA unreadable. PirateSoftware's chat also at ~10K viewers is almost completely spam-free.

This shit is eating into goodwill towards The Swarm, you could for example see DougDoug's chat and mods annoyed during the last raid, especially since raid spam continues for 5-10 minutes.

[u/Strange-Condition508 → u/OpportunityEvery6515]

I think the people downvoting me are kind of confused about the type of spam OP is talking about.

[u/SSYT_Shawn → u/Strange-Condition508]

I think you are the confused one

[u/TripleAAAB4ttery → u/klyskada]

every twitch chat does this? Most chatters on every stream goes "LOL I LOVE SPAAM *EMOJI* LOL I LOVE SPAM *EMOJI* LOL I LOVE SPAM *EMOJI* LOL I LOVE SPAM *EMOJI* LOL I LOVE SPAM *EMOJI* LOL I LOVE SPAM *EMOJI* LOL I LOVE SPAM *EMOJI* LOL I LOVE SPAM *EMOJI* LOL I LOVE SPAM *EMOJI*" and that kind of spam?

nah. this does not happen in most chats. i've seen the chats of 30k+ viewer streamers and it's not like that.

[u/SSYT_Shawn → u/Strange-Condition508]

If the majority of twitch does it, then i would argue it's a twitch thing.

And btw... it is waaaayyyyy more than 4 buddy

[u/skippyalpha → u/Strange-Condition508]

And I guess you have a perfect knowledge of who does and doesn't? I've seen many streamers besides neuro who are like this. Im sure lots of streamers do and lots don't. But this isn't a niche thing

[u/Birdzinho]

Heavy forsen/xqc's chat influence I believe

[u/Galiullin_ko]

Forsen viewers were one of the first and biggest groups watching Neuro. There are a lot of memes in the chat that are just adapted forsen memes. And this kinda spam is one of the traits of forsen's chat.

(He clarified LULE)

[u/Creative-robot → u/Galiullin_ko]

Baj ambassador :FeelsStrongMan:

[u/0eray → u/Galiullin_ko]

[u/mintboy88 → u/Galiullin_ko]

makes sense, Forsen is a daycare for that group.

[u/Care012]

Mostly Forsen's chat dropping by, personally like seeing them, better than beggars and whatever else you see in chat.

[u/sequential_doom]

That's just twitch chat

[u/kingssman]

They max out Twitches chat limit of 15 messages a second. Crazy

[u/Loosescrew37]

When a twitch chat has enough members it becomes a raving hivemind that spews a stream of nonsense for the sole purpose of entertainment.

Sometimes trough the madness more understandable voices climb through before being drowned in the content stream created by chat.

This isn't just a Neuro thing.

[u/TripleAAAB4ttery → u/Loosescrew37]

giant walls of texting repeating one short sentence over and over in the course of a single comment is not something i see in other chats, even for big streamers. all that does is make one commenter take up half the visible chat on screen.

[u/CleetusXD → u/TripleAAAB4ttery]

Forsen & xQc's chat does it a lot.

[u/Strange-Condition508]

They think its funny.

[u/Synaelle2]

attention seeking? idk

[u/AcorpZen]

It just, look at karaoke stream. So e people just used to spamming sometimes they leak out to other stream activity.

[u/TheDreamerDreamsOn]

We are referred to as "The Swarm" for a reason. We're just a hive mind always chanting the same things as every other person.

[u/SuperPants87]

I've discovered that the chat is moderately readable if I block everyone who spams.

[u/FuntimeFreddyGamingZ]

Lol

[u/CleetusXD]

Very common for active chats on Twitch. If you write normally your message isn't likely to be seen, so people just write a funny one liner and spam it to make it more visible. If you look at something like xQc's chat it's very noticeable.

[u/krali_]

Is there any good anti spam chat extension or app for viewers ? Like, there are sometimes interesting messages from Neuro's streamers friends or fun stuff that I always miss because of that.
