Why I unfollow people on twitch

 This is an updated version of two earlier posts, where I tried to outline why I follow people on twitch. I've realized, that's not how I operate. I follow people for too many reasons. However, I unfollow people for a very narrow and specific set of reasons that I want to outline to help people understand why I've unfollowed them, or, simply stopped watching them.

1 - You don't stream enough. Some people take long breaks in streaming, if this happens, I can unfollow. All you need to do to get me to follow back is start streaming again.

2 - You don't talk enough. A lot of the people I follow on twitch are not very big streamers, as such, there's a need to fill the 'dead air'. You need to talk. You've not been talking enough. You can get me to return by talking more.

3 - You don't have quality options. I've made other posts about this, and if I've followed you, I've shared the post with you. You've decided that quality options are not important. You can get me back as a follower by getting quality options on the regular. 

4 - You speak before you read. This annoys me greatly. Some people see 2 chat messages waiting to be read, read one of them, and then start responding to that first message. During this time, additional chat messages build up. I watch enough twitch (over 40 hours a week for the past 3+ months) to see the difference between partners, and non-partners, and THIS is the difference. Do not respond to a chat message when there are more chat messages to read. You can respond to it once you've caught up with chat. Additionally, you need to learn the skill of reading one thing while saying another thing. This is a skill. You need to learn it. You can convince me to come back simply by making an effort to learn this skill.

5 - You keep playing multiplayer games. These are not for me. They distract the streamer. I watch twitch to interact with streamers. If I just wanted to watch someone play video games, I'd go to youtube. Multiplayer games tend to see the streamer interact with other players. I want you to interact with me! If I didn't, I wouldn't be watching. This is a hard fix, as, it requires playing less games you like, and it may simply be that you as a streamer and I as a viewer are simply not compatible. 

6 - You are a jerk. This one is very rare, as, I tend to notice someone is a jerk before following in the first place. Not really sure how to fix this one. Seems like a personal issue for the streamer.
