I don't troll as far as I know. (Destiny)

I mean, obviously, I could have jumped right in to Twitch and started watching live streams of junk, clicking buttons.

But, in all honesty, I see ZERO appeal to it over Youtube. I asked to see if there was something I'm missing here, or if there is a shortcut to getting something out of it.

For example, if someone said to me "How do I Reddit?" I'd say to unsubscribe from the default subreddits immediately after you make an account. I'd then suggest Games, Xboxone, destinythegame, asianteenpr0n, RoosterTeeth, etc for subreddits based on my knowledge of their interests.

So what I'm kinda seeing here is there is not a lot to get out of Twitch other than MST style running commentary from a chat on what a guy is doing in the game.

EDIT: I am watching a dude called WishYouLuckk. He is trying to do the Bunglebounty. I'm literally watching a loading screen with a guy who sounds like he smoked a lot of pot about 40 seconds ago with a thousand other people. What has gone wrong with my life?
EDIT 2: And they're needlessly vulgar. Yikes. I'll try another set of dudes.
EDIT 3: Tuned into Professor dudebro. He's playing music and is aggressively pushing his astonishing lack of personality as if it were one by making funny voices.
EDIT 4: he just said mega butts. Wow.

I think I'll stick with just friends.

I like Twitch as a service/product, but I'll admit that finding quality entertainment in it can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

And the "LIVE" aspect of it is both a blessing and a curse. My highlight of the whole thing was watching three fireteams all tackle Hard-Mode Crota at the same time when it was released. Watching Speed-running with Live commentary/Q&A sessions is pretty good too.

Bottom line: if it clicks, great. Otherwise, you're not missing much.

My favorite streamer at the moment is Triplewreck. There's something cathartic about watching someone go into Crucible and just dominate. He'll probably stream sometime today.
