Hey Pippa, I've been lurking since The Coffin of Andy and Leyley and I took some time to review your old streams and catch some of the live ones. Took me a few weeks, but I figured out what I wanted to say:
Don't fret over lost marketing opportunities. Popularity is important given your work, but I think you cultivated fan base that genuinely likes you. I can speak for myself when I say: "I don't expect perfection from you, because you're the kind of imperfect I like."
You aren't the off brand version of other streamers. You're the specialty dish at our favorite restaurant. You make it the restaurant we fervently hope never closes down. (Despite the health code violations.) You don't have people imitating you because few could.
You seem like someone I would have enjoyed as a real friend. Doubt the opportunity to actually speak with you would ever come up, but I bet chatting with you casually would actually be enjoyable.
I've never donated to a streamer: I'm stingy and terribly cynical. Maybe you caught me at an odd place, but I can't help but feel sentimental. Consider it a credit to your talents.Shine on crazy yabbit.
