This entire interaction took place over the course of a single hour by the way. The time gap between botter and minor was about 16 minutes.

Botter to bot was about ten minutes. Bot to accusing me of being dishonest ("what exactly do you want?") was two minutes. Dishonest to minor was five minutes.
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
answer was YES! Shocker, I know!

I then asked if English was their second language (they'd been using very formal speech) and offered to learn their native language (if not English) to help them out. Plus, I do like learning!

I haven't gotten a response back but they still have me friended.
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
C. WTF WTF WTF WTF DUDE NO

They then say "your messages are getting too much" and I ask them to walk me through what makes me seem like a minor.
The response? You guessed it! "Your message is too much bro"! Nice addition of bro there though. Made it weirder.

I asked if they meant too long and the

Psychology is just... Reading and watching. It's a LOT of reading and a LOT of writing. By this point I'm thuroughly convinced they're a bot, then they throw a curveball my way.

Guys this dude asked if I'm a minor! A. You don't EVER ask someone that
B. Thanks for the compliment on my voice IG

Not weird, but kinda weird right? Especially considering my avg CCV and 0% go live click through rate? I'm also a naturally suspicious person and what I'm encountering doesn't make sense.
On top of that, they said they can't read what I sent. They also claim to be into Psychology in their panels.
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
I can. I say that I'm attempting to find out if they're a bot/scammer type. I tell them, again, that I've done research and congratulate them on Partner once more.

I then ask them to think of it from my perspective for a moment. They just up and added me out of nowhere and said it was from Twitch.
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
I find this extremely funny, on a very sick level, because their Twitch panels say they wrote a book. I say I was gonna ask them the same and also question this exact thing.

They say they can't read what I send and then ask me "what exactly do you want?"

At this point I try to explain using what
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
a screenshot too, for those of you who'd like to have it that way.

After receiving that message (having accused me of botting and having told me I'm in need of improvement), they see fit to ask me if I'm a bot and don't even wait for an answer before telling me it's too much for them to read.
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
for the algorithm may bring numbers and do the rounds but it's not how ya grow. Not healthily anyway, not without practice. Without practice ya gotta focus on self improvement, right? Everything else is a dud if the lettuce doesn't taste good.

That is the end of what I wrote. I'll include it as

dressing up as engaging if you can't bring that energy too.
So am I lazy? No. I'm just unbothered by what others consider engaging. If they click and enjoy, they'll probably stick around. That's all there is too it. I'm not selling myself. I'm sharing myself.
There's a difference and optimizing
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
is wilty you've got a problem you're dressing up to make look okay.
I treat streaming/content creation as a job, but no job is ever worth your health.
Not your emotional health.
Not your mental health.
Definitely not your physical health.
Not your relationships' health.

There is no point in
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
lazy either.
Lemme explain.
Think of it like a salad.
I don't see the value in making variables other than yourself engaging in content, because you're investing time and thought into the dressing of the salad and not what's in the salad. The dressing and croutons can be divine but if the lettuce

to shill out moolah for a service I don't need or even particularly want. Only reason I say yes is to kill time.
They seem to not think about a specific crossection: the skill level and time invested. I could make massively engaging things but I just... Can't be bothered? And that doesn't mean I'm
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
Socialblade or something.

Then they'll say they have payment plans to help make my content more engaging. The thing they fail to realize is that I have persued digital marketing and psychology and acting/drama/entertainment to collegiate levels. Using buzzwords isn't going to make me more likely

taste it
B. Imma just be real for a moment. Slap the same shit I gave twitter in here.

I've noticed a lot of people come to me and ask if I want some help in the streaming department. I always say yes but I'm broke. They'll always offer some insights into my content that I could get off of
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
Tron.

They ask why the avg ccv and I say people get disinterested in stuff all the time. They say I need to improve my content and at this point I've been wondering if they're a scammer for a hot minute.

I type exactly what I put below.

Right so listen here.
A. You're selling something I can
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
ask how I attract bots to my channel. They ask if I post on social media and I say yes. They then accused me of botting via informing me it's against Twitch ToS.
I know that and I emphasize I would never break TOS while acknowledging that my content might run up against it like the Lightcycles in
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
because it's Really Cool and a good vibe. I get another yes.

They say my channel looks good (good following and attractive logo according to him). I thank them, they ask about my CCV avg. I'm not private, the number is typically 1.

I lament that most of them are probably bot followers and they
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
They're either a founder or CEO of or something of the sort. It's located in an area that I know, so I ask about the weather there and how the cold on the East Coast has played a part in it.
I get an answer of "yes." I then ask if he's okay with me yoinking wording from his channel rules panel
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
Their Discord account has only existed since the end of October of 2025. It has pronouns in the bio and the bio is filled out. This is the point I search up their Twitch name (on Twitch itself) and cross-reference. Some things line up, others don't.

I Google the company that the Twitch page says
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
SUS answers. They say a Resident Evil game.

They ask how long I've been streaming for, I do some math and go pale at the fact I've been streaming for 8 years (some on YT). I tell them, ask them. They say they hit partner in a year and four months (GOOD FOR THEM!!! like legit I'm happy for them)
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
I ask what kind of stuff they stream normally, they go horror games and I ask what kinda horror games. Keep in mind that I stream things along the lines of Labyrinthine, Cryo, Redfall, and FNaF Security Breach on a semi-regular basis. The first three don't get streamed a lot so those would be very
February 3, 2026 at 5:20 PM
to try to network/connect/make other streamer friends. Cool! Great! I love that stuff! They say they added me off of my most recent D&D stream and that they were thinking about maybe streaming D&D too. I give them the advice that it's harder than it seems to manage a D&D stream. They go ok.
