Buying a ghost town seems like it would be a really interesting experience. You'd definitely learn a lot of new skills. But I don't get Pippa's views on the ghost town either. She complains that the library just looks cool and goes full Pipkin about the lack of authenticity (fair enough) and how books would get damaged (er... okay), complains that examining the items found in dumps are rubbish and not worth examining, which feels exactly the opposite of the library but she doesn't like that either, doesn't like his ghost town for whatever reason I couldn't understand, but likes generic drive-by photos of random ghost towns without reading the context or history and thinks that's the good stuff.This was a weird stream. Not sure where she was coming from. I have seen the channel before and I thought it was fairly interesting. Yes I agree the guy probably wants to milk it as some sort of hipster Instagram place but the whole idea of buying a ghost town seems pretty cool to me.
Oh, well, at least Pippa playing City Skylines was pretty fun.
This seems desperate to me. Twitch really must be feeling the heat from YouTube alot more than I realized if they're doing this. I don't necessarily think it's a bad idea however. This feature does encourage fans to throw money around to show how much they support the streamer. I'm sure it'll take off if it's implemented well enough.
They really need to fix up the times though. A cheap dono lasting a minute or two on-screen, fair enough, but if you're throwing $20, $50 or $100, you're paying for the streamer's attention and you'd want it to stay on-screen for a good long time, not 2 mins 30 seconds or less.
