The answers to all the arguments presented in the second half of Vova's post are already in my first message. Mizrael is indeed playing for the stream, but does he receive monetary profit that corresponds to such an attitude towards the process? Do you remember how much he was paid to complete Paragon? How many streams did it take? I'm afraid that even considering the donations during those streams, the amount is clearly less than the salary of a low-paying job for the same amount of time... Everyone draws their own conclusions.
Hell, on the other hand, streams his gameplay, which he always talks about and doesn't dwell on in the chat, especially during tense turns. It's interesting to watch him precisely because of his excellent gameplay, and not because of the chitchat with viewers, with whom he can be quite harsh. Therefore, using him as an example, representing "Vika's advice," is, to put it mildly, inappropriate.
Reddy and Amilu are a prime example of what happens when you try to make the stream more engaging with comments. The time loss is a direct consequence of detailed commentary, not "presenting it appealingly, despite." I didn't expect Vova to juggle concepts like that.
Hell succeeds because of his level of understanding of the game plus his insane amount of practice, without being above quizzes with elephant giveaways, and he even allows himself to get distracted by real-life things when the timer is ticking, which sometimes puts him in a time crunch. But the same Gom doesn't get distracted by anything, even when he's streaming... The conclusion is that everyone decides what works best for them, but if you want to attract more people, take some of Vika's advice while also improving your gameplay! Yes, it's an extra load on the brain, but it didn't stop Tvarin from progressing while he was playing Heroes of Might and Magic...))
