Fine line between "chat is a bunch of friends and we have fun together" and "there are so many people I don't remember anything about anyone".

It's a weird dichotomy, I stream for fun and prevent me gaming in the dark, alone; but it also affects my game choice and starts to feel like an obligation because people start to feel at home there.

Analytics and gamification behind the scenes adds some stress too, number to up makes dopamine go brr.
