So sad to hear of your experiences with Twitch, but im equally glad to know you have made a decision that's good for you. Love you brother xxxx keep surviving xxxxx
Oh don't be sad. I did have an incredible time on Twitch and met some amazing, life changing people. Might go back sometime, but defo not the online space for me as of right now, but happy that RUclips is feeling like home. Thanks for starting me on this content creation journey, missus. I'll always be forever grateful.
You make a good point about toxic positivity. So many channels don't talk about bad days like you said and I'm glad you're making the decision that is right for you. Wish you the best Paddy!
Thanks my celtic cousin. Always appreciate the kind words. It was just a side of Twitch that I couldn't take anymore and definitely feels like one of the only ways to grow on the platform. I just want to hang out with open/honest people now and always. That's my whole shtick. Thanks again friend and hope you're doing well.
Fair play Paddy, I won't even pretend to know how much work goes into running a twitch channel so that couldn't have been an easy decision with the following you made as you said. The fact that you identified that and took action is great man, a lot of people would have kept going to their own detriment. As more of a RUclips man meself, I'm looking forward to the stuff I've been missing on twitch :) all the best dude, sorry to hear about the shyte times.
I really appreciate that man. Shyte times be shyte, but that's why we survive TOGETHER ;) heh heh. Thanks for everything mate and I really and truly am humbled by your kind words. It was definitely a hard choice to make but I definitely feel at my core like it was the right choice. Looking forward to hopefully seeing you soon, pal :)
Dude thank you so much. Twitch did bring me some of my favourite friendships during a time when we all needed connection so I will always value that and I may return someday. Need to get you on again in the future. Might have a topic for a critical hit episode that would be right up yer alley. So much love to you, you absolute legend and thanks for the support.
I’m so glad to hear you’re doing something for yourself and doing what’s best for you. As sad as I am that you are leaving twitch, I love that you have taken the decision that’s in your best interests. Love you brother. Keep on being you!
Thanks bud and at least here the VOD's stay forever instead of 30 days so if you ever wanna catch up on a game it will be here forever. I really appreciate that man. Just wasn't enjoying the "good vibes only" side of Twitch and because Twitch growth depends so much more on your connections than your content [IMHO] I really felt like it was stagnating. However thanks for all your support over there man it is beyond appreciated. You're a diamond and all my love to Maaya and Nikita too bud.
The internet is a place that is full to brim with the best and worst of humanity. You have do what is best for you for Paddy and that isn't something one you need to apologies for . I'm glad you are at least still going to be around and streaming here because it is clearly something that really enjoy doing it . Keep going what makes you happy 🤘
Thanks so much Andy for all your support through this content creation journey. I really and truly appreciate it. It was not an easy decision but I feel assured as of right now it was the right one. :)
Just watched the video lad, as a streamer myself everything you said is truly relatable. I was at a stage last year where all I did was out a facade to please the masses but realizing that fakeness to twitch absolutely disgusted me. Twitch as a platform needs to fix things there. Let me be honest with ya. I have always been very reluctant to make friends with streamers because I've dealt with that fakeness where people would just be friends with me to use me to get close to my brother. Paddy your a real one brother, small communities with people who really care about you are the only community you need ❤️
Toshee, I fucking love you pal. Thanks for the comment and above all thanks for just being you. So when I first met you I didn't know who your brother was, I am not gonna lie. I wasn't very aware of streamers/youtubers etc. before I started doing it. While I really appreciate what DB does, I personally connect more with your content. It's more like my own. More raw. More manic. More emotional and chaotic. I knew from the second I started hanging out in yer streams that they were somewhere I could be comfortable in. I will still definitely be stopping by to hang out with you man cause I feckin' love being in yer company and the bants we do have. And yer spot on man. It's not the size of yer community that counts, it's how the people in it make you feel. Much lvoe dude. Gotta meet up somewhere in Ireland soon for cans and some games lad ;)
I feel this wholeheartedly my friend. Twitch felt like, to me, too many people were growing on fake or toxic foundations and while I never aspired to be like that IRL I ABSOLUTELY did want to grow a community, but not like that. Having people stop by and say hi and then 2 minutes later say they're going to go check out someone else's stream or stop by and say "Wow no one is here you must be lonely", the bots, the racist shit, etc. All of that really sucked the enjoyment out of me streaming on Twitch and is a good chunk of why i stepped away. That kind of shite started affecting me mentally and i'll be damned if i let a hobby, a fucking HOBBY, affect me in a way that's not positive (or at least neutral lol; challenge running is a bitch sometimes). I'm glad to hear you're making a change right for you man. If i ever truly return to streaming i'll more than likely follow in your footsteps. I will always be thankful for meeting you through the platform though, so there is that. /Salute my friend!
Dude honestly, meeting and getting to know you was one of the highlights of my content creation journey to date. Same as you dude, I couldn't handle this hobby, this outlet, this thing that was supposed to be cathartic and refreshing make me feel worse. I always felt so insanely welcome in your community and presence man and I yearn for the day I finally get to sit at a bar with you and clink bottles together and have a beer and a chat. Thank you, Cass and Mini-Hayate for everything. People like you are the reason I'll never regret my time streaming on Twitch.
@@twistedtubz Thanks buddy. I literally feel like a massive weight has been lifted since I made this decision. Thank you pal. You've always had my back since day one and I will forever appreciate it. You're a fucking legend, buddy.
Will miss you too man. Been a real joy getting to know you. Always welcome on the streams at any point man. Wasn't an easy choice to make but defo feels right at the moment.

All points were spot on. I’ve been feeling the same way for a long time. You really broke it down so well! Hopefully we can catch up soon friend.
