People always ask how they can help streamers and the answer isn’t just $$$
- Tell your friends about the channel
- Welcome new members to chat
- Hype up subs / bits / donos
- Do commands for people
- RT the stream
- Talk in chat
- Share our social medias
- Ask questions in chat

Since this got more attention than I was thinking I’ll add some more and explain my thoughts:
- When viewers bring their friends to chat with them it makes our community seem incredibly friendly and warm to everyone and allows more viewers to engage and chat because they want to

- Tell the streamer about cool chat commands, bots, games you saw
- Did you see something on twitter about a sponsorship or opportunity? Let them know!
- See a streamer at a con? Ask them if you can take a picture with them and share it on social media
- Ask them how their day is

Most of us care more about chat interaction than sub count or viewer count, so with that in mind, helping keep chat active and fun is so helpful! Ask us and chat what we are doing, what games we are looking forward to, about Twitch con or our lives as long as its not too personal

- Participate in post-stream raids to other channels
- Let us know if our sound is off
- Does a command have a dead link? Let us know.
- Brainstorm new channel ideas
- Want to see a game streamed? If the streamer is variety and is open to suggestions, speak up and tell them :)

Please let me know what other ways you like to help as a viewer, or as a streamer what you appreciate, whether it’s free or paid.

There are also great tools for users to ‘donate’ for free from bits to advertising services like loots.

One of the biggest things a viewer can do to help a streamer:

CLIPS!

Making clips and sharing them on Reddit, Discords, Forums and social media can help so much! Even without sharing them it still gives us a log of cool moments that viewers appreciate.

If anyone has any questions please ask and I’ll be sure to answer them

Oh, and free sub with Twitch time :) Even telling your friends about Twitch + Twitch Prime Sub makes a big change
