LFG - Advertisement for Twitch channel

Hi

I wanted to know your opinion about that :

Is it ok for you to advise your twitch channel in LFG inside the title ?

I don’t hate twitch or people wanting to get more people on his stream,
But i really want that the username of the twitch or the url stay in the description.

We often research what we need on the LFG title, browsing if it’s an 1800 cr or a +14.

But when a streamer write thing like

“We help people doing +10 +12 +14 +15”

Or other thing like that, it polute the LFG research

If that was only 1 guys i would be absolutely not bothering me , but when it come to 4 research just because they are streamers, yea that kinda annoy me to see it on LFG.

I don’t know but like i don’t want LFG to be like full of " Watch me on twich pleeeeeaaaassseee" instead of simple "2.3 cr " title

I am the only one bothered by that or like you too are annoyed ?

Title: No
Description: Fine by me
Saying boost/invite for sub or sub only: No. Perma bann.

No advertisement in LFG in my opinion, doesn’t matter if its for boosting, twitch streams, a pizza place, you name it. If it’s advertising of any kind it doesn’t belong in LFG.

streamers are generally people who fail at everything else in real life … so have to resort to turning a childs hobby into a job.

they should not be idolised as role models… which they sadly are…

sad times really.

Entertainement is a child’s hobby as a job?

You could’ve just said you don’t like the job but you chose to be toxic about it for no reason.

Sad times indeed.

video games are generally aimed at children … forgive me if i’m mistaken…

that is the reason i used the “childs hobby” terminology.

Depends on the game.

You are.

Outdated terminology

No

Theres a reason advertising isn’t allowed in the LFG chat, im not there to watch your stream, or buy a product, im there to find a god damn group

It’s the same boat as advertising boosts.

LFG is a tool for players to find groups, not a billboard.

I love Twitch, but LFG isn’t the place for it.

I report them as advertisements because that’s what they are. The LFG tool is exactly that, not a boost-service or stream promotion lobby. I’m a streamer myself - but opening lobbies solely to promote a link to my channel (especially under the guise of providing any kind of service) is cheap and scummy.

If I’m looking for keys, the last thing I want to see is: “HEAD INTO MAH CHAT AND TYPE !LOLADVERTISEMENT TO JOIN DIS GROUP!”

Making it seem like you’re ‘helping’ people is just an easy way to divert away from the fact that Joe Soap is shilling themselves, such as “Helping you with KSM – but first, yall gotta type !LOLLOLOLOLOOL to join”.

Right-click, advertisement, moving on with my search for a proper key without extra hoops to jump through.

I dont like the forced viewership raids. I dont feel the group finder tool is where they belong.

i don’t realy care but i find it kinda ’ weird ’

Some of them are but it wasn’t even my point, I mentionned entertainement in general for a reason.

It’s like saying actors or musicians are giant losers who had to fall back on acting or music because they were bad at everything else in real life, it’s silly.

at least acting and music shows some intellectual purpose…

anyone can play a video game like a idiot.

you cant argue streaming is intellectual… because i have one word to disprove that… Asmongold.

It’s not about being intellectual, not all jobs have to require 150 IQ, yes anyone can play a video game but no not everyone can be entertaining while doing it and this why people watch popular streamers.

WoW isn’t a game supposed to be played by children. They don’t have enough time to actually get anywhere in the game unless they neglect their education and other stuff.

not my point really… i was meaning acting and music is far more meaningful and purposeful than video gaming. it actually requires you to hone your craft…

sure you can become really good at video games… that is a given… but the sheer fact there is people who are exactly the polar opposite of “good at video games” yet are immensely popular shows it takes very little skillset other than being watchable…

neglecting education isn’t a awful thing… i learned more after leaving school than i ever did in school.

i guess that depends heavily on the persons mindset though and their preferred method of learning… i always have been very self reliant… and not great and learning through being taught.

Lol, you what?

i got into too many arguments with my peers in school and resulted in more punishments than lessons learned… they didn’t like the fact some scrawny kid was questioning their teaching methods lol…
