Twitch, in addition to announcing five new categories, also came up with the idea of making fun of its community through a special broadcast.
April 1 was very interesting for Twitch, at least according to the platform itself. Five new categories were announced, and one of them featured a broadcast of Twitch itself. It was watched by a maximum of 2.5 thousand people, while the total views exceeded 62 thousand.
Funnily enough, Twitch has lost over 260 followers. No wonder, “quiet reading” was streamed there.
Reading without saying a word
The stream was about one of the people working at TTV just reading something to themselves without saying a single word.
Chat was limited to emotes only, so there was absolutely nothing to write home about. You could only react with emotes.
Yes, it was a joke. The joke of reading for an hour and simply turning off the transmission. The official channel is watched by 2.1 million people, and yet on April 1, 2.5 thousand viewers at peak spent their time with Twitch.
