Unpopular opinion (at least among streamers): follower alerts are bad. I usually lurk in streams, and I don't to be called out. I specifically wait until a streamer goes offline to follow in case they have alerts, and I know I've forgotten to follow in the past because of this.

How do you feel about a very small area of the screen (below splits) that thank new followers silently and they're not read by the steamer out loud. Hard to imagine that doesn't please all types of people. At least that's what I told myself when adding it to the layout

Personally I'd still prefer to not have them, but that's still miles better. According to this poll (not exactly the same, but close) it's actually pretty split though.https://twitter.com/JCog_/status/1109596927123996672?s=19 …

Is it split? It's only bad if someone has an issue with it right? Isn't indifferent still a favorable judgement for streamers who use em?

I guess that's a fair way to look at it. My reasoning was that people who are indifferent don't care, so among those who do, it's almost 50/50. I'd also guess it's more likely for someone to unfollow because of them than for not having them, but that's just speculation.

Also, even if it's not the majority, 1/4 new followers actively disliking something that happens when they're brand new still just seems... ill-advised to me. First impressions matter. I'll admit this one has a lot more nuance though.
