Online media is continuing to transform the media consumption habits of today’s society. It encompasses various forms of content, modes of consumption and interpersonal interactions. Live-streaming is one of the less observed but growing forms of new media content. It combines aspects of online video entertainment and user content creation such as YouTube, and social media such as Instagram, in a live setting.
The goal of this thesis is to explore this phenomenon by looking at the video game streaming platform Twitch, and, more specifically, the interactions taking place during the live streams. The central research question of the thesis is therefore:
How are the creators of video game live streams initiating and facilitating interactions with and among their audience members?
A qualitative analysis is being conducted to find out which types of interactions are taking place during these live streams. Additionally, relevant theoretical concepts, including parasocial interaction, self-disclosure, group identity and co-experience, are applied to evaluate the interactions based on their potential to influence the construction individual and social identities.
iii The interactions of five streamers of different popularity levels and from three different types of video games are analyzed based on these assumptions and concepts.
The results show that all streams share five major categories for interactions, namely gameplay commentary, topic-based interactions, streamer- and viewer focused interactions, and interactions based on followers and (re-)subscriptions. The manifestations of the theoretical constructs in the interactions show similar tendencies across the streams, although with some considerable variation.

viii Introduction
Online media has taken over traditional offline media in terms of daily usage time for a few years now (Mander & Young 2017, p. 9). And it seems the gap is increasing.
According to an Insight Report from 2016 by the market research company
GlobalWebIndex, across 34 countries, people have spent 6 hours and 26 minutes (59 per cent) of their almost 11 hours of daily media consumption on online media. This represents a 50-minute increase from 2012, with the consumption time of traditional media interestingly remaining almost the same as before (Mander & Young 2017, p. 7).
Also, traditional media content is still relevant online in its digitized and modernized form – even for the younger generation.
The ‘2018 Online Study’, conducted by the German public media stations ARD and ZDF, shows that German internet users between the ages of 14 and 29 dedicate much of their media-related internet usage time towards streaming music, shows, movies and videos on platforms such as Spotify, Amazon Prime and Netflix (Frees & Koch 2018, p.
406-407). The internet, however, is more than a recycling platform for traditional media content. With more than two hours of daily usage time, social media platforms make up the biggest share of daily internet usage today (Mander & Young 2017, p. 8). And, according to the ARD/ZDF Online Study, the status of social media platforms that include user-generated, audio-visual content such as Instagram, Facebook or YouTube has particularly grown. Especially the younger generation now spends an increasing amount of time on these platforms (Frees & Koch 2018, p. 408).
1 More recently, an alternative form of online content has started to gain some popularity. Another statistic by GlobalWebIndex shows live streaming to be “on the rise”
(Young 2017, August 25). In mid-2016, 20 per cent of 220 thousand internet users – surveyed from the same sample as the Insight Report from Mander and Young – said they had watched a live stream on either Instagram, Facebook or Twitter during the past month; only one year later the number had grown to 28 per cent. Online live streaming is a fascinating research subject for multiple reasons. Firstly, it seems to encapsulate some of the most prevalent characteristics of the internet today: live streaming is mostly user- generated content (Pires & Simon 2015, p. 225) which has “reshaped the online video market enormously” (Cha, Kwak, Rodriguez, Ahn & Moon 2007, p. 1). Further, live- streaming is generally entertainment-oriented, and it holds a strong social potential via the interactive features offered by most streaming platforms, e.g. chat windows or donations (Chen & Lin 2018, p. 294-295).
Secondly, live streaming does, however, lack one of the internet’s seemingly most important qualities compared to streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and
Spotify: the autonomy on the side of the consumer (Skalski, Neuendorf & Cajigas 2017, p. 203). Even though on most platforms live streams are saved and uploaded for people to watch afterwards, the original streaming session, with most of the interaction, is controlled by the creator. Therefore, the viewers must comply with the creator if they want to watch their content. Thirdly, the topic of live-streaming also includes a monetary aspect. Most live-streaming platforms provide options to monetize live streams through subscriptions and donations. The financial aspect could be an incentive for people who
2 stream online to create an engaging, interactive experience (Smith, Obrist & Wright
2013, p. 134; Hamilton, Garretson & Kerne 2014, p. 1321). This combination of factors renders the rising popularity of live streams something to be further explored.
Originally, online live-streaming as we know it today started as a video-game- focused niche activity (Hilvert-Bruce, Neill, Sjöblom, & Hamari 2018, p. 59). According to Sjöblom and Hamari (2016, p. 2), spectating someone playing video games has been a social aspect of gaming since the arcade days, and it is now coming back due to live streaming. Video game live streaming has consistently grown in popularity during the past years and has now reached a massive scale. The video-game-oriented streaming platform Twitch amasses millions of viewers every day by itself (Twitch 2017). More recently, internet giants such as YouTube and Facebook have been following up by implementing their own streaming services (Chen & Lin 2018, p. 293). And even though they do not specifically focus on gaming, it still makes up a significant part of their content (Smith et al. 2013, p. 131). Because of the popularity and the consistency, they managed to build and maintain, I am focusing on video game live streams for my thesis.
So far, social and media science researchers have paid scant amounts of attention to the inner workings of the live streaming phenomenon. This might be due to the feature’s comparable novelty on major social media platforms. Therefore, I have chosen to explore the following research question:
How are the creators of video game live streams initiating and facilitating interactions with and among their audience members?
3 Seeing as Twitch is a long-standing, established and still one of the most popular video game live streaming platforms overall, I am choosing it as the source of the content
I analyze in this thesis. I further introduce Twitch and its prominent characteristics to demonstrate its appropriateness for this study in the next chapter. In order to evaluate the interactions taking place during a video game live stream, I utilize multiple theoretical concepts based around the idea of identification. I specifically differentiate between individual identification, focusing on interactions between the content creator and the individual viewers, and social identification, focusing on interactions among the audience. The concepts I utilize to illuminate potential identification processes are, for individual identification, parasocial interaction and self-disclosure, and for social identification, group identities and co-experience. I elaborate on the relationships between these concepts in the following chapters. Subsequently, describe and explain my methodological approach – a qualitative content analysis. After that, I present and discuss my results and then summarize them in my conclusion.
4 Literature Review
Twitch
Twitch is a video game live-streaming platform. The term ‘live stream’ describes the “public broadcast of live video and audio streams” (Hamilton et al. 2014, p. 1315).
Therefore, Twitch is a platform on which people are streaming, i.e. broadcasting, themselves playing video games by capturing their screen and audio with a special broadcasting software (e.g. OBS or StreamLabs). These people are called ‘streamers’ and they often pair their gaming broadcasts “with a video feed of themselves in real life”
(Hamilton et al. 2014, p. 1315). Considering the term ‘video game’ for my thesis, I define them as an audio-visual form of entertainment-oriented content which is played on a PC or a video game console. These devices are usually easily connected to the internet. I specifically focus – for methodological reasons I explain later – on online video games. I am adapting the narrow definition of online video games by Jöckel and Schumann (2010, p. 462) which describes them as games that are played on or via the internet and which allow for communication between the players.
The other group of users on Twitch– next to the streamers – are the viewers. They can freely tune into these live streams and watch the streamers play. At first thought, the idea of watching someone else play a video game instead of playing yourself might seem counter-intuitive. A video game is generally a very interactive type of medium; therefore, the highest reward should logically be derived from playing the game yourself. But the website's success suggests differently. Twitch was originally created in 2011 by the owners of another, more variety-oriented streaming website called JustinTV, who had
5 noticed the rapid growth of their gaming section. After just two years, Twitch self- reportedly accommodated 45 million unique monthly viewers who amounted a total watch time of 12 billion minutes per month, split between 900,000 streamers (Twitch
2013). By 2017, these numbers had grown to 15 million unique daily viewers, more than
2 million unique monthly streamers and a total of 335 billion minutes of streamed content watched throughout the entire year (Twitch 2017).
These numbers might be impressive, but they do not answer the question, why people seem to enjoy watching these streams. In one of the few existing studies on
Twitch, the authors asked this question in a set of guided interviews with both Twitch streamers and viewers (Hamilton, Garretson & Kerne 2014). They found that (1) identifying with the content, the streamer, and the community, (2) the high level of interaction and influence, (3) the feeling of “becoming a regular”, and (4) a sense of shared history and experience were contributing factors for their interviewees to use
Twitch (Hamilton et al. 2014, p. 1319-1320). Another, more recent, study supported these findings with results from their formalized online survey of Twitch users. ‘Social
Interactions’ as well as ‘Sense of Community’ were both strong motivators for live stream engagement (Hilvert-Bruce, Neill, Sjöblom, & Hamari 2018, p. 63-64). They also found additional factors such as meeting new people, entertainment, information seeking and external support to be positive influences on Twitch viewing behavior (Hilvert-Bruce et al. 2018, p. 63). Judging from these studies, social factors such as interactions and a sense of belonging seem to be key reasons behind Twitch’s success.
6 Interactions on Twitch
As the few existing studies on Twitch have shown, social factors – and especially the interactions – seem to play a crucial role in the appeal of the platform (Smith et al.
2013; Hamilton et al. 2014; Hilvert-Bruce et al. 2018). Interactions during a stream can take place on multiple levels and in different forms (Fig. 1).

8 Each channel on Twitch includes an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) window (Fig.
1, Nr. 3) right next to the video player (Fig. 1, Nr. 1) for the viewers to communicate, either with the streamer or other members of the audience. Additionally, viewers can attach text messages for the streamer when using the ‘Bit Cheer’ function (Fig. 1, Nr. 5) when they send them money donations directly (Fig. 1, Nr. 24); or when they subscribe to the streamer (Fig. 1, Nr. 16). The streamers can use the IRC to respond to their audience.
Streamers also have the option to use a microphone and/or webcam (Fig. 1, Nr. 2) to record themselves which gives them an opportunity to address their audience directly.
Some information on the audience for live video game content already exists. Cheung and Huang (2011), in a study on video game tournament spectators, have attempted to categorize them into spectator personas based on their self-described behavior. These personas include, for example, the “Bystander”, the “Entertained” or the “Assistant”
(Cheung & Huang 2011, p. 767-768), and they are each characterized by different traits.
According to the literature reviewed here, however, there is any research yet to be done on the actual interactions taking place during video game live streams. Therefore, the first research question of the thesis is:
RQ1: Which types of interactions are taking place during video game live streams?
The goal of this research question is to inductively form sensible descriptive categories for the interactions taking place during streams on Twitch.
Despite the lack of actual research on the content of interactions during video game live streams, it is still possible to approach the matter from a theoretical standpoint.
9 In general, it seems reasonable to distinguish interactions on Twitch into two main types: individual interactions between the streamer and the audience, on the one hand, and group-based interactions primarily among audience members – which can, however, also involve the streamer – on the other hand (Hu, Zhang & Wang 2017; Hamilton et al. 2014;
Smith et al. 2013). These two types of interactions, while inevitably related, can be argued to be based on distinctly different social and psychological processes for the following reasons.
Firstly, I would argue that media consumption, even in social settings such as
Twitch streams, can always – at least in part – be considered as an individual experience for the consumer. Secondly, the live stream format – while generally providing more opportunities and tools for interactions with the content creator – still shares a major characteristic with traditional and also newer forms of mediated content: it is mostly asymmetrical, with the streamer being a focal point of each audience member’s attention.
The interactions between streamer and audience are therefore unlikely to always take place on equal footing (cf. Tang et al. 2016; Recktenwald 2017). Thirdly, watching a live stream is also a cooperative act at the same time, as the audience members all knowingly share the experience, as co-viewers, among themselves (Smith et al. 2013). With the possibility of using the chat window to converse with each other, the audience thus forms what can be considered a social entity or group (Hu et al. 2017).
Hu et al., in their study on continuous watching intention for live streams, propose a dual-identification framework which seems to fit this individual-group-dichotomy. The authors differentiate between broadcaster identification (streamer - audience member)
10 and group identification (audience member - other audience members) (Hu et al. 2017, p.
598). Hamilton et al., in their qualitative interviews with Twitch users, also found indications of the importance of identification on Twitch streams (2014, p. 1319). In their model, Hu et al. further include two theoretical concepts based around interactive behavior which I am going to adopt for my approach: parasocial interaction and co- experience. In the following paragraphs, I explain how the concepts of individual identification, parasocial interaction and self-disclosure are relevant to the more individual-focused interactions between streamers and their audience members. Then, I elaborate on the importance of the concepts of social identification, group identification and co-experience for the group-based interactions of the audience members on streams among each other. Further, I derive systematic categories from said theoretical concepts which I am going to utilize later on in my analysis.
Hu et al. were not the first to adopt the concept of identification as an explaining variable for positive outcomes, which, in their case, was continuous watching intention of live stream viewers. The idea of identification as a condition for success has been and is especially prominent, perhaps unsurprisingly, in marketing and consumer research, specifically regarding brand-consumer relationships (e.g. Sirgy 1985; Muniz & O’Guinn
2001; Dholakia, Bagozzi & Pearo 2004; Algesheimer, Dholakia & Herrmann 2005;
Aguirre-Rodriguez, Bosnjak & Sirgy 2012; Brodie, Ilic, Juric & Hollebeek 2013; Tsai &
Bagozzi 2014; Luo, Zhang, Hu & Wang 2016). Many of these studies’ results substantiate the positive influence of identification, for example, on consumer participation (Dholakia et al. 2004); consumer decision making (Aguirre-Rodriguez et al.
11 2012); or on brand community engagement, both offline (Algesheimer et al. 2005) and online (Brodie et al. 2013).
I would argue that watching and interacting during Twitch streams can be comfortably considered as a consumption setting for the audience (Sjöblom & Hamari
2016). Additionally, as I mentioned before, streaming on Twitch also includes options for financial gain for the streamer via subscriptions and donations. Therefore, the adoption of the largely marketing-research-based concept of identification for the analysis of interactions on Twitch seems reasonable. This theoretical approach is also not unprecedented for research in associated media consumption settings, such as online gaming. Badrinarayanan, Sierra and Martin (2015), for example, took a similar approach by exploring the importance of identification for the consumption behavior of MMORPG players. The results of their survey showed a significant influence of community identification on behaviors such as “intentions to purchase game-related virtual items, continued engagement with community members, co-production intentions, recruitment of other players, and willingness to spread word-of-mouth” (Badrinarayanan et al. 2015, p. 1051).
Individual identification, parasocial interaction and self-disclosure. The direct differentiation and comparison between the effects of identification as an individual on the one side, and identification as a group on the other side, has also been made before in the context of brand-consumer relationships. Belen del Rio, Vázquez and Iglesias (2001) propose that individual identification relates to the consumer’s self-image and its congruency with a brand image. Group-based identification with a brand, in contrast,
12 serves the function of integrating yourself in, or differentiating yourself from a social group (Belen del Rio et al. 2001, p. 412). Belen del Rio et al.’s definition of individual identification is in line with Herbert Kelman’s concept of ‘classical identification’, “in which the individual takes over all or part of the role of the influencing agent” (Kelman
1961, p. 63). The main reason for a person to expose themselves to this kind of social influence, Kelman argues, is that the influencing agent “occupies a role desired by the individual – who possesses those characteristics that the individual himself lacks”
(Kelman 1961, p. 63). It is conceivable that this kind of identification could take place between an audience member and a Twitch streamer, especially when the streamer has already reached a certain level of popularity. However, that is not the focus of this thesis.
Next to the classical identification, however, Kelman proposes another type of individual identification, this one being based on the reciprocal relationship with another person. He states that “if an individual finds a particular relationship satisfying, he will tend to behave in such a way as to meet the expectations of the other” (Kelman 1961, p.
64). The process of identification, in this case, takes place not directly with the other person but with the role the individuals have assigned to themselves through the nature of the relationship. This second type of individual identification seems more fitting for the purpose of exploring the interactions between a streamer and their audience members.
On Twitch, both actors have basic roles already assigned to them via the nature of the platform, but they can be acted out quite differently (Smith et al. 2013). Through interpreting the interactions between streamer and audience member, I hope to distinguish to which extent and in what ways this type of identification might be relevant
13 and perceptible during a Twitch stream. Therefore, the second research question of this thesis is:
RQ2: How could interactions between the streamer and their viewers during video game live streams lead to individual identification?
It will be especially interesting to see how this kind of identification – which is technically based on reciprocal relationships – shapes up on popular streams with more than just a few viewers. In their interviews with Twitch streamers, for instance, Hamilton et al. found that, when a stream reaches a certain number of viewers, it becomes impossible to respond to every message in the chat, while playing a game at the same time (2014, p. 1321). This should preemptively exclude large streams with hundreds of viewers form this type of identification being relevant to their interactions. Kelman further adds, however, that the identification can take place, “regardless of whether the other is watching or not: quite apart from the reactions of the other, it is important to the individuals own self-concept to meet the expectations of his friendship role, for example, or those of his occupational role” (Kelman 1961, p. 64). This means identification can take place even without real reciprocal interaction, as long as the participants continue to act out their roles.
To help solve this puzzle, and actually evince and evaluate the potential level and form of individual identification between streamer and audience member, I am going to utilize the concept of parasocial interaction. Parasocial interaction was originally devised by Horton and Wohl, after observing how similar the behavior of people on television, i.e. ‘media personae’, especially that of quizmasters or talk show hosts, is to real-live
14 interactions (1956). Still, parasocial interaction with a media persona is different from normal face-to-face interactions because, naturally, the persona on TV does not really see the reaction of the audience. The persona is, however, aware that they are being watched and thus attempts to imitate the process of a face-to-face interaction by anticipating the reaction of the audience (Horton & Wohl 1956). The audience, on the other side, eventually also knows the interaction is one-sided and not influenceable by them; but as long as they entertain the illusion and react in the way the persona suggests, it can feel like a real interaction (Schramm & Hartmann 2008, p. 387). Horton and Wohl therefore called parasocial interaction a “simulacrum of conversational give and take” (p. 215).
The underlying processes and implications of parasocial interaction afford an important level of nuance for the categorization of live streams on Twitch, based on their interactions. In his review of parasocial interaction literature, where he describes it as an
“extension to normal social activity” (2002, p. 286), David Giles proposes to classify interactions on a ‘continuum of social-parasocial encounters’. Said continuum consists of four qualities:
(a) number of persons involved (broadly, whether a dyadic encounter or a group encounter); (b) physical distance between interactants (either proximate, i.e. face-to-face, or distant, i.e., separated by an amount of space that renders face-to-face communication impossible); (c) social conventions (whether formal or informal; this distinction is based on ritual features of the interaction as well as power relations); (d) potential relationship between the interactants (in most face-to-face communication, this is unlimited, but will differ across levels of PSI). (Giles 2002, p. 293)
Considering these qualities, I believe that interactions on Twitch streams can place on a rather extensive array of positions on this continuum. The most evident point would be
15 that the audience numbers can range between single-digits, which indicates the possibility of reciprocal interactions, and hundreds of viewers, which could purport a level of parasocialness. It is also possible that streamers could bring a level of formality to the interactions with their audience, by introducing certain social conventions, e.g. in how they address and speak to their audience. Or they could adopt a more informal style of interaction and allow a higher level of influence from the side of the audience members.
It is important to note here that social conventions – and thus the formality of an interaction – always depend to a degree on the circumstances of the situation (Giles 2002, p. 295). I am going to adapt the social-parasocial continuum and its four qualities of interactions as analytical categories, in order to assess the interactions between streamers and audience members. Thus, the first sub-question to the RQ2 is:
SQ2.1: Which types of interactions may facilitate different levels of parasocial interaction?
By distinguishing the level of socialness or parasocialness of the interactions on a stream, I believe, I will be able to infer some implications for the individual identification taking place between the streamer and the individual audience member. Specifically, I hope to be able to demonstrate, how exactly they act out their roles as streamer and as audience member through their interactions. For streams that contain more reciprocal interaction, this should work out rather straightforwardly. For streams with a higher level of parasocialness, identification should still be possible, despite its one-sidedness and illusory nature, according to Kelman’s argumentation. I think it is necessary to point out here, however, that interactions are not exactly the same as a relationship, which Kelman
16 had pronounced as the basis for identification. Especially in the field of parasocial interaction research, the importance of differentiating one from the other has been pointed out repeatedly (Giles 2002, Schramm & Hartmann 2008, Hartmann 2017).
Interactions might be the basis for a relationship, and a relationship might be lived through interactions; but eventually interactions are distinct instances with a beginning and an end while a relationship can last outside of the interaction (Schramm & Hartmann
2008, p. 386-387).
Therefore, to increase the information extractable from the interaction about the possible individual identification between streamer and audience member, I will consider one more relevant concept which is self-disclosure. Khang and Jeong define self-disclosure
“as a process of communication by which one reveals information about oneself to another” (2016, p. 890). That disclosing information about oneself is an important prerequisite for an interpersonal relationship, has already been shown to be true for online settings on both a social (Khang & Jeong 2016) and a parasocial level (Kim & Song
2016; Brown 2015, p. 270). Cozby provides a basic classification for self-disclosure into
“(a) breadth or amount of information disclosed, (b) depth or intimacy of information disclosed, and (c) duration or time spent describing each item of information” (1973, p.
75).
I am going to adopt the variables “breadth” and “depth” from this classification as categories for my analysis. The goal is to evaluate the level of self-disclosure taking place on both the side of the streamer and the side of the audience members. Hence the second sub-question to RQ2 is:
17 RQ2.2: Which types of interactions may facilitate different levels of self- disclosure?
As stated before, levels of social- or parasocialness and of self-disclosure which might show in the interactions during a stream, cannot be taken as indefinite proof for individual identification between the streamer and the audience members. However, the studies mentioned above (Hu et al. 2017; Khang & Jeong 2016; Kim & Song 2016;
Brown 2015, p. 270) show significant correlations between the concepts. These are displayed in the structural model for this section of the thesis (Fig. 2).
Figure 2. Structural model for RQ2.
Based on these theoretical assumptions, I hope to find indicators for individual identification between the streamer and their viewers based on the evaluation of the level of parasocialness and self-disclosure during a live stream. The third and final sub- question for RQ is therefore:
18 SQ2.3: How could different levels of parasocialness and self-disclosure influence the development of individual identification between the streamer and their viewers?
Social identification, group identity and co-experience. The possibility, as an audience member, to interact with the streamer while watching them is a significant characteristic of Twitch. However, the fact that watching a Twitch stream is not just an individual but also a shared experience with other audience members, with whom interaction is possible as well, is equally relevant. As mentioned before, the existing studies on Twitch have shown the importance of the social- and community-oriented aspects on the platform (Sjöblom & Hamari 2016; Hilvert-Bruce et al. 2018, Hamilton et al. 2014). This indicates it would be possible to consider the audience of a Twitch stream as a social group (Hu et al. 2017). According to social identity theory, people order their
“social environment in terms of social categories, that is of groupings of persons in a manner which is meaningful to the subject” (Tajfel 1974, p. 69). Through this process of categorization, each group is assigned its own group identity. When a person enters a group, its identity becomes part of the person’s social identity, as Tajfel suggests: “we shall understand social identity as that part of an individual’s self-concept which derives from his knowledge of his membership of a social group (or groups) together with the emotional significance attached to that membership” (1974, p. 69). The reviewed literature has shown social identity to be a highly relevant concept for the research setting of the thesis. The third major research question of the study is thus:
RQ3: How could group-based interactions during video game live streams lead to social identification among the viewers?
19 As it would be difficult to make direct inferences about the social identification based on just the interactions, it will be helpful to, again, utilize related concepts to facilitate the interpretation. At first, I lay out the relevance of the concept of group identity formation.
Many social identity scholars have argued that social categorization is generally based on similarity between the members, in terms of shared characteristics, e.g. ethnicity, social status, profession, hobbies, etc. (Tajfel 1974, Trepte 2006). In the same vein, group identity is usually conceived of as the opposite to individuality (Brewer
1991). Postmes, Spears, Lee and Novak (2005) argue, however, that although the founding of group identities on shared properties exists and might even be prevalent, it is not the only path to group identity creation. Postmes et al. state that “the expression of individuality within the group does not appear to obstruct or minimize the capacity for social attachment”, and that it “can even form the basis for the inference of a social identity” (2005, p. 748). Hence, the authors differentiate between two ways of forming group identities: deductively, based on group-level similarity, and inductively, based on intragroup interaction and individuality.
This differentiation between group identity formation processes is an interesting approach considering Twitch stream audiences. On the one side, the platform is based primarily around the category of gaming, which itself can be further subdivided into the various existing gaming genres, types, and even individual games. This means, there already exists an excessive groundwork for potential deductive identity construction and expression through these shared aspects (cf. Postmes et al. 2005, p. 748). Additionally,
20 the fact that the streamers themselves also play an essential role for their stream
(Hamilton et al. 2014), also renders them a possible origin for a deductive group identity.
Depending on how strongly they impose their identity onto the stream, the streamer themselves could be a topic of conversation between the audience members.
On the other side, however, there is no rule on Twitch that stops audience members from talking to each other about anything and everything outside of the properties relevant to the stream. In relation to this, Hamilton et al. found that the
“regulars” are an important part of the interactive community aspect of a stream. The regulars, who often the status of moderator, “engage viewers and promote participation and sociability. This most often involves greeting viewers, answering questions, and trying to connect personally with newcomers” (2014, p. 1320). Even though these behaviors by regulars could again largely be focused around a deductive identity, they also fulfill the conditions for inductive identity formation: communication and individuation (Postmes et al. 2005). I would argue that on Twitch, both inductive and deductive group identity formation can take place. Therefore, I will adopt them as analytical categories to examine whether they both actually take place and how they show through the interactions between the audience members. The corresponding sub- question to this is:
RQ3.1: Which types of interactions may facilitate more inductive or deductive group identity formation?
The second significant concept that could be an aid in interpreting audience interactions on Twitch streams in relation to social identification is that of co-experience - introduced
21 originally by Katja Battarbee (2003, June 23-26; 2003, April 5-10). This is, again, a consumer and marketing research-oriented concept, and it describes the added value of the user’s interaction with a product as well as its other users, to a consumption experience. In the case of Twitch, the product would be the stream, and the users would be the audience members. The fact that the audience contributes an important share to the streaming, and stream-watching experience has already been shown (Hamilton et al.
2014, Smith et al. 2013). The authors Lim, Cha, Park, Lee and Kim, however, further differentiated the concept of co-experience into three subconstructs which could possibly further elucidate the interactions between audience members. The sub-constructs are (1) participation, (2) cognitive communion, and (3) resonant contagion (Lim et al. 2012, p.
1366-1367). Each of these sub-constructs measures a different facet of the consumers perceived impact on the other consumers of the product. (1) Participation is defined as
“the perception that one’s experience constitutes a part of the whole experience that individuals perceive together” (Lim et al. 2012, p. 1366-67). I interpret this as the individual’s possible influence on the product experience itself which in this case would be the Twitch stream. (2) Cognitive communion is defined “as the perception that an individual shares knowledge with others” (Lim et al. 2012, p. 1367) regarding the experience of the product. (3) Lastly, resonant contagion is described as a tangible proceeding of influence between the users of a product which leads an accordance in behavior or opinions (Lim et al. 2012, p. 1367). Looking at the interactive features offered by Twitch (Fig. 1), it is reasonable to assume that co-experience and its sub-
22 constructs should be a significant factor of the Twitch experience. Thus, the second sub- question to the third RQ is:
SQ3.2: Which types of interactions may facilitate different levels of co- experience?
Hu et al. (2017, p. 601) were able to show that perceived co-experience among live stream audiences lead to a stronger sense of social identification with the group. By analyzing the interactions during Twitch streams based on the sub-constructs of co- experience, I hope to gather more information on possible social identification among the audience members. In combination with the evaluation of possible group identity formation processes during a video game live stream, it should be possible to make assumptions about how interactions during live streams could influence the social identification of the viewers (Fig. 3).
Figure 3. Structural model for RQ3.
23
Hence the last sub-question for RQ3 is:
SQ3.3: How could different forms of group identity and levels of co-experience influence the development of social identification within the stream’s community?
24 Method Discussion
General Approach
To answer the research questions questions, I conduct a content analysis on
Twitch, encompassing the streamer’s and the audience’s communication via the available modalities, for multiple streaming channels. It would also be possible, and most definitely interesting, to conduct either guided interviews or a formalized online survey on this research topic. I have, however, decided against it, for the following reason.
Interviews and surveys are usually the favored choice for exploring interactive media online because they cannot be treated as single, complete instances, as traditional media products generally have been and still are. Interactive media is co-created through the various users’ actions; and their subjective views and intentions are not to go unheeded
(Skalski et al. 2017, p. 207-208). This argument, on the other hand, often seems to lead to a certain ignorance towards, or rather disregard of, the actual interactions taking place; with the users’ accounts of their thoughts on the subject more or less clearing up all questions. But I think that, especially for live streams, the concrete content of the interactions taking place is essential for how the experience shapes up, and that it merits individual analysis. Naturally, a combination of a questionnaire as well as a content analysis would serve the research interest best. But since the extent an endeavor such as this requires, would top my research-economic budget, I am choosing the content analysis as the less established path of exploration.
Hence, I am going to utilize a mixed approach, partly inductive and partly deductive, to my analysis. Based on Philipp Mayring’s (2010) approach to qualitative
25 content analysis, specifically the technique of aggregation. The application of the aggregation-method after Mayring requires multiple steps (Mayring 2010, p. 67). The first step is to define the coding units, the smallest unit of analysis. For this study, this includes every act or statement directed by the streamers and every viewer-generated message, e.g. in chat or via subscriptions, following, donations or bit cheers. The second step is to paraphrase the coding units into descriptive statements. The third and fourth steps are to generalize the paraphrases and to concentrate them by removing repetitive or meaningless paraphrases. The fifth step is to summarize the generalized phrases into sensible constructs.
With this method, I at first form inductive categories for the interactions taking place during the stream. Then, based on my research questions, I compare the aggregated types of interactions with the deductively derived concepts from the theory section.
Transcription
For my transcription, I utilize Daniel Recktenwald’s (2017) proposed transcription strategy, which he developed specifically for Twitch (and platforms similar to it). Recktenwald shares the view, that so far “micro-level analysis that discusses broadcaster talk and audience chat under the consideration of another activity, e.g. gaming, is notably absent.” (Recktenwald 2018, p. 67). The basic layout for the transcription consists of a spreadsheet with four columns (see Table 1). The transcription approach has two noticeable aspects. Firstly, Recktenwald includes an extra column for game events. What happens in the game during the transcribed streaming period may not be of primary concern for my research interest, but the game events might influence the
26 communication of the streamer and are therefore worth mentioning, to a degree
(Recktenwald 2017, p. 75). And secondly, the streamer and the audience are transcribed in separate columns. This is due to the fact that the interactions of the two parties are often overlapping and slightly desynchronized. In most cases, there will be multiple audience members chatting at the same time with the streamer talking simultaneously.
There is also a slight delay of a few seconds between the recording of the stream and its broadcast on Twitch. The combination of these factors would render a transcription in a single column almost illegible (Recktenwald 2017, p. 74).

Case Selection
For the analysis I decided to chose five streamers based on two major factors – their popularity level on Twitch and the games they primarily play on their channel. In the following sections I explain the methodological impact of these two factors on the case selection.
Popularity on Twitch. In order to categorize Twitch streamers based on their popularity, it is necessary to explain, at first, what constitutes popularity on Twitch. One
27 option for that, is measuring a stream’s popularity cues. Haim, Kümpel and Brosius
(2018) define popularity cues as “metric information about users’ behavior or their evaluations of entities” (Haim et al. 2018, p. 190). They are pieces of information that are supposed to serve as reference points or signals for social media users who are confronted with them. Almost every popular social media platform, and many other websites (e.g. online shopping or review pages) include some form of popularity cue, e.g. likes, shares, comments or ratings. And depending on the sites’ user bases and functionalities, their popularity cues have to be evaluated differently (Haim et al. 2018, p. 193-194). For example, a post on Facebook by a popular user can easily accumulate hundreds or thousands of likes. For a basic product on Amazon, 50 to 100 written reviews are already a decent amount.
On Twitch, there are multiple types of popularity cues. Firstly, there are the basic numbers, namely the number of followers and the number of total views the streamer has accumulated on their channel (Fig. 1, Nr. 21, 22). These numbers can serve as a primary indicator for the stream’s success. However, they do not give much information about the day-to-day success of a stream. These numbers could have amassed within a short time, e.g. if a mainstream celebrity streamed themselves playing once or twice. That is why, secondly, there are three different status a Twitch streamer can achieve which give more information about their success. The status are regular streamer, ‘Affiliate,’ and ‘Partner’
(Twitch 2018, January 18). Into the category of regular streamer falls everybody who has an account on Twitch, regardless of how often they stream, if at all.
28 To reach the status of Affiliate or Partner and to attain access to the associated features, Twitch requires their streamers to meet certain criteria. To become an Affiliate, a streamer must have (1) streamed for eight hours in the last 30 days; (2) streamed on seven unique days in the last 30 days; (3) reached three average viewers in the last 30 days; (4) and reached and maintained at least 50 followers overall. Even though these numbers might seem small compared to popularity cues on other SNS, they indicate the status of an active streamer. As Affiliate, streamers can also start to monetize their streams in different ways. Their viewers gain the option to support the streamer by
‘subscribing’ to them, which entails paying either $4,99, $9,99 or $24,99 US Dollars per month. The viewers can also ‘Cheer’ on the streamer with ‘Bits,’ a Twitch-specific currency, the viewers can buy. As Affiliates, streamers can also start selling the games they play through Twitch (Twitch Affiliate 2017).
To reach the status of Partner, there are taller requirements: streamers have to have (1) streamed for a total of at least 25 hours in the last 30 days; (2) streamed on at least 12 unique days in the last 30 days; (3) and maintained an average of 75 viewers. The perks of the Partner program include all of the Affiliate status. Additionally, there are premium features for the monetization tools, e.g. custom emotes (emoticons on Twitch) and badges for Bit-Cheers, and up to 50 additional emotes for subscribers to the stream
(Twitch 2018, January 18). They can also store the ‘Video-on-Demand’-version of their streaming session for 60 days instead of the usual 14 (Twitch 2018, August 30).
Twitch does not by itself disclose a stream’s average number of viewers, their subscribers, or the streamers’ earned money through bits. But by using the streamer’s
29 status – as Affiliate or as Partner – as a popularity cue, it is possible to categorize streams and compare their audience interactions based on that categorization. I want to be able to compare streamers from the same popularity levels as well as from different popularity levels. Therefore, I decided to analyze three Twitch Affiliate, as well as one regular streamer and one Twitch Partner.
Video games on Twitch. As mentioned in the introduction, I choose Twitch as the specific object for the thesis as video game live streams have so far been the most consistent live-streaming content there currently is. Even though live-streaming is evidently gaining some mainstream popularity with the users of major social media platforms, on them it still is a comparatively novel feature among many existing ones. A content creator on Instagram, for example, does not necessarily have to use live streams to maintain their audience. They can also post status updates, pictures, videos or stories.
On Twitch, on the other hand, streams are the main attraction everything evolves around.
The streamers are providing the entirety of the audio-visual content, not unlike content creators on YouTube (except live). Many of them have been on Twitch for multiple years and managed to gather enough of a following to even turn being a ‘Twitch streamer’ into a viable career (Clark 2017, November 20).
A second, and more methodological, reason for choosing Twitch streams is their comparability. Since their content is generally based on video games, there is already a connecting factor between them. On variety-oriented streaming applications such as
Periscope or Meerkat, for example, there exists a whole plethora of different types of streamed content. It reaches from expository activities, e.g. chatting about or
30 demonstrating skills, to experiential activities, e.g. sharing interesting or funny experiences and events (Tang, Venolia & Inkpen 2016, p. 4777). I expect that the differences in contents and settings could create too much variety in the interactions than
I can sufficiently account for in this research setting. Video games on the other hand, as per the definition I established before (p. 5), show consistency regarding some key aspects that are favorable for the stream setting. They are almost exclusively displayed in an audio-visual format and played on devices most likely connected to the internet, and thus lend themselves to smooth online (live) broadcasting. Additionally, video games on
Twitch seem to provide large amounts of “streamable” content. An early study on the parameters of Twitch streams showed that they last about 96 minutes on average
(Kaytoue, Silva, Cerf, Meira Jr. & Raïssi 2012, p. 1183).
Even though I am already limiting my study to a single type of streamed content, there still exists an excessive amount of variety inside the gaming medium itself, as it does in every other medium. Therefore, I make some further limitations. I do not consider live streams of single-player games in my thesis. The so-called “Let’s Plays” of single- player games, either streamed live or uploaded to YouTube, are popular in their own right
(Smith et al. 2013, p. 133). There are, however, some factors which render Let’s-Play- streams less fitting for this thesis. Smith et al. (2013, p. 133) describe Let’s Plays as “an episodic account of a player’s journey through a particular game or creative play in a non-linear game”. This leads me to two conclusions about Let’s Play streams: (1) at some point, the journey through one game will end a new journey will begin. This could lead to a loss in consistency regarding the streamer’s audience since I would assume that the
31 viewers interest in the stream is in part based on the game that is currently being played.
And (2) it is possible – even though I could not find any reliable proof for the assumption
– that interactions during Let’s Plays could focus more around the proceedings of the game than anything else. I hope to avoid this by focusing on streamers playing a multi- player game, especially one from the specific category of online games I explain in the following paragraph.
I choose one category of online multiplayer games, based on the categorization by
Jöckel and Schumann (2010, p. 463). They differentiated between video games with an online game mode, MMO(RP)Gs and browser games. All of these categories have the common feature that they can be played cooperatively and/or competitively online, but each of them also has unique characteristics. MMORPGs, for example, usually have unlimited player numbers and persistent worlds, i.e. changes to the world are lasting and are not being reset after a specific time period. Browser games can have both limited and unlimited numbers of players, and high persistency and low persistency worlds. Video games with an online game mode, such as Counter Strike, FIFA or Call of Duty, generally have limited player numbers and low persistency, i.e. the world is reset after every round played. I focus my analysis streams based on games from this last category, again for the reason of consistency.
From this category, I choose three games, all of which are highly popular on
Twitch. The games are the team-based strategy game League of Legends (LoL); the card collecting game Hearthstone; and the team-based action-shooters Overwatch. A description for them can be found at the end of the method section. In order to, again, be
32 able to compare both players from the same game as well as from different games, I picked three streamers who primarily play the same game, i.e. LoL, and one streamer each from the other games. While actually searching out the streamers, I had to make an adaptation for the Overwatch streamer. During the set period of recording, a new game named Apex Legends had just been released and a majority of Overwatch streamers had started playing both games during their streams. As I had to stay in the recording period, I decided on a streamer who plays both Overwatch and Apex Legends equally during his stream. I believe this adaptation is acceptable due to circumstances and the fact that they belong to the same genre of games (team-based action-shooter). The following overview
(Table 3) shows the distribution of the selected streamers based on the two major factors for the selection: popularity and video game.
Table 3

With this set up, I can make comparisons between streamers of different statuses without changing the variable of the game they play and vice versa. Optimally, it would have been possible to select three streamers from each popularity category and game, for
33 a total of nine streamers. But due to the constraints of this project and the effort of the transcription, that is not possible.
Another choice I have to make, is in regard to how much of each stream I am analyzing. Live streams on Twitch can last relatively long. It is not unusual for a streamer to be online for multiple hours at a time, especially consistent streamers who want to reach the Twitch-Partner-limit of 25 hours in a month. Thus, it would take up too much time to transcribe complete streaming sessions for each streamer. Therefore, I decide to analyze one streaming session for each of the five streamers. And – since it is not possible for me to transcribe an entire stream – I divide these sessions into four parts of
10 minutes. Namely, the first and the last 10 minutes of the stream, where I expect that a lot of the community-building interactions will take place as most of the audience tunes in or leaves. And, additionally, two blocks of ten minutes (one at ¼ and one at ¾ of the streaming session), for comparison, totaling 40 minutes of transcribed content for each streaming session. The timeframe for the recordings is February 4th to February 17th,
2019.
Game descriptions. The following section consists of overviews for the games chosen for the streamer analysis. Each of the streamers plays one of these games (in one case two of them) mainly on their Twitch channel. All of them are online games according to the classification described above.
League of Legends (LoL). League of Legends is a free-to-play, multiplayer, online battle arena developed by RiotGames and published the game in 2009. There are three game modes currently available. These are Twisted Treeline, Howling Abyss and
34 Summoner’s Rift. Summoner’s Rift is the overall most popular and most commonly streamed game mode on Twitch. It has the largest map in the game, with three main lanes which lead to the bases of either team side. There are so-called Inhibitors, protecting the
Nexus, the main structure in each team’s base. One team’s Nexus has to be destroyed in order for a team to win the game.
The teams consist of five people in different roles and their own lane they belong on, in order to protect their turrets. Teammates can be randomized, but players are also able to befriend other players within the game and establish their own team. The individual player picks a champion before the game starts. There are 144 champions currently available in League of Legends but there are more are published each season.
LoL is a competitively played game with a ranked mode. After a player hits level 30 in
LoL, they are challenged in ten individual games which decide their rank. After their rank has been determined, they try to gain a higher rank by winning different game difficulties. There are eight ranks within the game, including: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold,
Platinum, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster and Challenger (League of Legends 2019,
August 15).
Hearthstone: Hero’s of Warcraft (Hearthstone). Hearthstone: Hero’s of
Warcraft is an online digital collectible card game, which is also free-to-play. The game has been developed by Blizzard Entertainment and was published in 2014. In a match, two opponents play against each other using decks of 30 cards which they constructed.
Before the match starts players choose their hero which enables them a unique power they can use against their opponent and special abilities in their chosen cards. There are
35 nine hero classes the players can choose from are: Warrior, Shaman, Rogue, Paladin,
Hunter, Druid, Warlock, Mage and Priest.
In each round, a player gains Mana Crystals which one has to spend in order to play the cards on their hand. By playing cards, players summon creatures as their minions to attack either the opponent or their summoned cards. The goal of each match is to defeat their opponent by bringing his health from thirty to zero. By winning and completing quests, the player earns in-game gold that he can spend to gain more cards.
There are four different types of cards such as: minion, spells, weapons and hero cards.
Hearthstone also has different game modes to play e.g. casual and ranked matches, drafted arena battles and single-player adventures (Hearthstone 2019, August 15).
Overwatch. Overwatch is a multiplayer first-person shooter which is team-based.
The game was also published by Blizzard Entertainment and was released in 2016.
Unlike Hearthstone, the game is not free-to-play. There are two teams with each six players. Thirty heroes are available for each player to choose from before the game starts but in one match only a single hero can be played in the match. Similar to LoL, the players can choose roles to play like tank, damage or support. The game also includes a ranking system. The communication feature with the game enables teammates to communicate to other through voice chat or text chat (Overwatch 2019, August 15).
Apex Legends. Apex Legends is another team-based first-person shooter. It is a free-to-play online game which is known as a battle-royale (a game mode in which the last one who survives, wins). The game was developed by Respawn Entertainment and was published by Electronic Arts. In the game there are sixty players land on an island
36 that fight against each other in teams of three, which are specifically named ‘squads’. The players can choose one out of six heroes; three more heroes are locked in the default game. The squads have to find items to fight with or to heal with e.g. weapons, armor or medical supplies. As time passes, the area in which the players can survive gets smaller until, eventually all players who are left in the game have to meet and fight against each other. The players can communicate to each other via text chat as well as voice chat, similar to Overwatch. Furthermore, through micro-transactions by players, they support the game and the players can gain cosmetic items, similar to League of Legends (Apex
Legends 2019, August 15). On Twitch, this game received a lot of attention from streamers. Thanks to that, the game gained a great popularity online in a small amount of time (Arif 2019, February 7).
37 Results
Which Types of Interactions are Taking Place During Video Game Live Streams?
The types of interactions presented in the following section are the results of the inductive analysis of the interactions during the recorded streaming sessions. As explained in the method section (p. 24), I applied Mayring’s technique of aggregation to the transcripts and paraphrased, generalized and reduced the interactions to their core messages. Then I grouped these messages into five suitable categories: (1) gameplay commentary and analysis, (2) topic-based interactions, (3) streamer-focused interactions
(4) viewer-focused interactions, (5) interactions based on followers and (re-)subscription.
Gameplay commentary and analysis. Gameplay commentary and analysis make up - perhaps unsurprisingly - a substantial part of the Twitch consumer experience. The category describes the process of the streamer actively talking about and explaining the proceedings of the actual gameplay sections of the streaming sessions. It is the most one- sided form of communication, as it is carried out primarily by the streamer. However, it does include some interactive aspects. Throughout all five of the examined streaming sessions, gameplay commentary and analysis are consistently present and take up significant parts of the recorded segments. Their specific characteristics, i.e. the amount, structure, content and tone of the commentary and analysis, vary based on three factors:
(1) the game the streamer is playing, (2) the streamer’s individual personality, and (3) the input from the audience. It is important to not here that it is difficult to differentiate exactly between the game-based and the streamer-based influence on the commentary. It
38 is possible that gameplay commentary could vary extensively between players of the same game. I address this issue in the method-criticism-part of the conclusion.
The analysis of the streaming sessions shows the game the streamer is playing to have a major impact on their gameplay commentary and analysis. Still, there are some key aspects the selected games have in common based on their classification as video games with an online mode, i.e. they are effects of the sampling. For example, all of them are competitive games. Accordingly, all of the streamers are expressing some degree of emotional investment through their commentary while playing, which can reach from excitement to anger and frustration. Another shared aspect is that the games are highly skill- and knowledge-based. This leads to the commentary and analysis being filled with very specific terminology and jargon. It thus requires the audience to be somewhat familiar with the specifics of the streamer’s game in order to follow the commentary and analysis. The fact that this is the case can be seen throughout extensive parts of all five of the streams. Also, all of the games are characterized by their low persistency, i.e. they are played in the form of repetitive matches with breaks in-between and the world is reset after each match. The streamers’ commentary and analysis reflect this as it tends to follow the same patterns based on the way the matches are structured for each game. For example, before the beginning of each match in the strategy game League of Legends
(LoL), there is a phase where the players of both teams choose the champions for the up- coming game, followed by a loading screen. During this phase, the LoL streamers often tend to comment on similar aspects such as champion choices and team compositions, and to make predictions for the match.
39 Some of the major differences of the games that influence the streamers’ commentary and analysis are their genre, structure and pacing. LoL is a team-based, real- time strategy game with medium-paced matches. Hence, the LoL streamers’ commentary is mostly focused on their teammates’ and opponents’ actions and strategic decision making – especially their mistakes – and how it affects their own gameplay as well as the course of the match. The medium pacing allows for consistent commentary throughout the entire match but not for extended discussions with the audience about either game- specific or other topics. Overwatch and Apex Legends are both team-based action shooter games with high-paced matches. They also share the special option of having an in-game voice communication feature for talking to your teammates. These aspects show in the gameplay commentary and analysis of LiquidCandyy who plays both Overwatch and
Apex Legends during his stream. Compared to the LoL streamers, his commentary consists mostly of basic reactions to the events in his matches, e.g. kills, deaths, objectives and loot drops, etc. It is also heavily interspersed and mixed with the communication with his teammates. He mostly analyses his own overall gameplay after the end of his matches, as there are almost no extended sections of downtime during them. The commentary and analysis of alkali_layke who streams the collectible card game Hearthstone is again very differently structured. Hearthstone matches are played one-versus-one and they are turn-based, meaning they have the slowest pace and a comparatively high amount of downtime. alkali_layke’s gameplay commentary and analysis are focused mostly around anticipating and reacting to her opponent’s moves and strategy and explaining her own. They are also less consistent than the commentary and
40 analysis of the LoL players’ since she has the time to interrupt them and discuss other topics with her viewers. Overall, the streamed games appear to have a significant impact on the content and structure of the gameplay commentary and analysis.
The streamer’s individual personality can also influence their commentary and analysis significantly, based on e.g. their competitiveness and emotional investment in the game. Taking the LoL streamer FMJayce as an example, he ranks among the top three per cent of all LoL players worldwide and can therefore safely be considered as highly competitive. During the loading screen of his first match of the stream, he experiences a so-called “bug-splat” which causes the game to crash and forces him to restart (FMJayce 47 – 58). After restarting, he experiences consistent FPS-lag, which puts him even further at a disadvantage, to which FMJayce reacts with visible and audible frustration (FMJayce 62 – 80). When he suffers his first death of the game shortly after, he falls into a fit of rage (FMJayce 83 – 99), shouting and complaining for several minutes about the unfairness of the situation. The Hearthstone streamer alkali_layke’s commentary, on the other hand, even though she also displays emotional reactions at various points during the stream, is overall more light-hearted and entertainment- oriented. For example, towards the end of the stream, she makes a rather basic mistake in one of her matches. At first, she shows signs of annoyance but then quickly brushes it off by jokingly telling her audience, “I’ll do it for you, so you don’t have to” (alkali_layke
1071) regarding her mistake.
Compared to the other two variables, the influence of the audience on the streamers’ gameplay commentary and analysis is relatively small and itself depending on
41 the game and the streamer. During the matches across all streams and games, there are audience members reacting to the streamers’ gameplay and commentary by writing chat messages that often include Twitch emotes and Twitch or game-specific jargon, e.g.
“GG” (short for “good game”) and “Pog” (short for “PogChamp”; name of a Twitch emote representing excitement). There are also instances of viewers making recommendations and asking gameplay-related questions to which the streamers sometimes respond. Conversely, it can also happen, as it was the case for the LoL streamer LoLNatsumiii in her last match of the stream (LoLNatsumiii 1232 – 1235), that the streamer asks their audience a match-related question. In that specific instance, multiple viewers responded differently, causing an ongoing debate between her and some of her viewers, thus influencing her commentary and analysis. This example shows that, depending on the streamer’s willingness or ability to respond to the audience while playing, the audience can have an active influence on the gameplay commentary and analysis.
Topic-based interactions. The category “topic-based interactions” is rather wide- ranging and contains interactions between the streamers and their viewers about various subjects that come up during the stream. They can be introduced by the viewers or the streamers themselves. They can also be caused by streaming-related aspects or external events. They can revolve around the streamer’s primary game; and they can include other games, or gaming in general, or topics that have nothing to do with gaming at all. A lot of interactions are also concerned with the ongoing stream itself. Therefore, I have divided the category into the following three sub-categories: general discussion of the game,
42 discussions of other topics and discussion of stream technicalities. Discussions focusing primarily on the streamer or on viewers are not included in this category as they are addressed separately later.
General discussion of the game. More general discussions of the streamer’s main games are taking place at various times during the stream. A somewhat common timeframe to do so, seems to be the beginning of the stream. During their first recorded stream segments, three of the streamers - FMJayce (LoL), alkali-layke (Hearthstone) and
LiquidCandyy (Overwatch/Apex Legends) - talk about what they are planning to do and hoping to achieve in their main games during the stream. FMJayce, for example, states that he wants to climb to a higher ranking since he has been stuck at the same rank
(Diamond 4) for some time. One of his viewers agrees with him, saying that low diamond is “trash” (FMJayce 42 – 43). He also jokes about how FMJayce will leave his rank but only by demoting to a lower rank which the streamer laughs about and responds to that
“the goal is to not demote, obviously” (FMJayce 40). Other instances of game-related interactions can be triggered in specific situations, e.g. when the streamer navigates through the game’s menus or store and mentions a game-related aspect, or when a noteworthy event in a match leads to an extended discussion. The former happens in alkali_layke’s stream when she-discusses popular card-deck variants for the mage hero with her viewers (alkali_layke 369 – 396). These discussions often revolve around many topics such as the so-called “metagame” (or meta, for short) of a game, i.e. the state of the game’s features, the balance of its champions, heroes, cards, etc., its players or its aesthetic features. The role of the viewers in these discussions seems to be a lot more
43 significant since they are open-ended and can and do continue between them even without the streamer’s continuous participation. In general, gameplay-focused discussions seem to consist of significant amounts of both reciprocal interactions between individual viewers and the streamer and multi-person discussions between the viewers.
Discussions of other topics. Discussions of other topics during the streams also generally occur as individual instances rather than a continuous process - as it was the case with the gameplay commentary and analysis. The interactions are for the most part shorter (except the interactions between Ligmatrix and one of his viewers) than the discussions about the game and involve a smaller number of participants, almost always including the streamer. Some of the topics that come up during all of the streams are regarding (playing) other video games or gaming in general. For example, LoLNatsumiii talks about the newly released and highly popular game Apex Legends with her viewers.
Three of them say they enjoy Apex Legends (LoLNatsumiii 114, 127, 135) even though one of them admits they are bad at it (LoLNatsumiii 142). Another viewer states they cannot stand the game to which LoLNatsumiii responds that she at least enjoys watching the game being played but has not tried it yet herself (LoLNatsumiii 145 – 150). In another example, at the end of Ligmatrix’ stream, a viewer adamantly requests that he play the game Undertale (Ligmatrix 464, 490 - 491, 500) to which he eventually agrees.
The interaction then leads to an extended discussion about some more general gaming- related topics. Namely the pirating of video games – as Ligmatrix states he is unwilling to pay for games – and the various dangers of malware that come with pirating video games and how to defend yourself against them (Ligmatrix 516 – 591). Another discussion
44 about a gaming related topic took place at the end of FMJayce’s stream about building your own PC and the differences of framerates for gaming monitors.
There were also discussions taking place, although somewhat more sporadically, about non-gaming related subjects during the stream. One such topic that occurred across multiple streams (Ligmatrix, alkali_layke, LiquidCandyy) was that of popular music and artists, and in multiple cases, it even led to prolonged debates and exchanges. Notably, most of these interactions were evoked via the music the streamer played during the stream or the song requests by the viewers, in case the streamer had activated the option.
Some more of the non-gaming-related topics that led to interactions were also rooted in popular (online) culture. During LoLNatsumiii’s stream, she talked with her audience, among other things, about marathoning all Harry-Potter-movies and the way the main actors’ appearances developed over the span of the movies (LoLNatsumiii 829 – 875).
Discussions about topics concerning the “offline world” were the least frequent during the streams. The streamer Ligmatrix did have another extended discourse with the same viewer that he later on talked to about pirating games. This time it was concerned with the value of taking a gap year after school or university and the importance of mandatory military training and its benefits for a country’s people (Ligmatrix 196 – 259). Otherwise, there wore mostly short exchanges such as LoLNatsumiii and some viewers talking about and wishing each other a happy Lunar New Year (e.g. LoLNatsumiii 83 – 101, 937 –
944), as it coincided with the time of the recording.
Discussions of stream technicalities. I am analyzing interactions around the specific act of streaming (on Twitch) and the technicalities related to it separately
45 because they reflect the unique circumstances of the communicative situation that is a live stream. There seem to be a few different types of causes for these discussions. The most substantial ones, for the recorded streaming sessions, take place around situations in which the streamer is doing something to enhance the audience’s stream experience. At one point during her stream, alkali_layke interrupts her ongoing match for several minutes to explain and demonstrate a Twitch feature she set up for her stream. The so- called “deck-tracker” extension lets her viewer’s see her cards in the deck she is currently playing with, as well as her opponent’s. When one of her viewers tells her, the feature is not working on the mobile Twitch app, alkali_layke shows them where to find the deck- tracker and how it works (alkali_layke 760 – 820). Another example for a streamer enhancing his stream experience, is FMJayce setting up a giveaway for an icon, a cosmetic feature in LoL, for his viewers via Twitch chat. To enter the giveaway, they have to type a keyword into the chat, then the streamer randomly pulls a winner from the participants. The process of FMJayce setting up and explaining the giveaway is accompanied by various interactions with and among the audience. Viewers are asking and answering questions (FMJayce 233, 235, 249) and rallying each other (FMJayce 190
– 197).
Another cause for interactions regarding stream technicalities were short standard situations related to live streams. During both LiquidCandyy’s (e.g. LiquidCandyy 477,
502) and alkali_layke’s (e.g. alkali_layke 115 – 122, 129 – 138) stream, multiple viewers announce that they will be “lurking” during the stream, i.e. having the stream play in the background while doing something else. Some of them would say what they are doing
46 while lurking which usually lead to a friendly reaction from the streamers. A third reason for interactions concerning the stream were external influences taking place during the stream, e.g. LiquidCandyy’s stream being interrupted by someone coming to his room
(LiquidCandyy 37 – 80) or LoLNatsumiii’s cats playing around and walking across her table in front of the camera (LoLNatsumiii 280 – 303). Both instances lead to light- hearted reactions from the audience.
Streamer-focused interactions. Another important aspect of the interactions during the streams is how they focus on and revolve around the streamer as a person.
This is mostly as expected since the streamer, of course, is the raison d'être and generally the focal point of the whole endeavor. However, there are some notable facets to these interactions that invite for some further elaboration. The interactions in this category can generally be differentiated again into three types regarding the role they focus on: the streamer as (1) a player of their main game(s), (2) a streamer, and (3) an individual. For the most part, the streamers themselves participate in and lead these discussions but some are also held mainly among the audience.
Interestingly, at least during the recorded segments of the streaming sessions, the streamers in their roles or identities as players were hardly ever discussed. Almost all of the streams (with the exception of Ligmatrix’) did include specific instances in which the streamers were either asked a question about them as a player (e.g. their preferred playstyle) or were complimented on an achievement (e.g. participating in a tournament or reaching a goal). But these instances were all individual and isolated cases that rarely lead to any extended discussion. As an example, in the first recorded segment of
47 LiquidCandyy’s stream, he is being complimented by a viewer on being a high-ranked player in Overwatch to which he responds proudly (LiquidCandyy 200 – 213). Shortly after, the same viewer asks him whether LiquidCandyy does “boosting”, a term for (often illegally) helping weaker players to improve their rank (e.g. by playing on their account).
LiquidCandyy reacts somewhat evasively saying “I don’t really do boosting, I kinda- I- I did for a little bit but not really,” (LiquidCandyy 247) and ends the topic there.
Interactions focusing on the streamer in their role as a streamer were more frequent and extensive (again with the exception of Ligmatrix). These interactions either revolve around their streaming activity and its properties in general or are caused by specific events during the stream. The former happens multiple times in LiquidCandyy’s stream, for example. Some of his viewers praise him by comparing him to other currently popular Twitch streamers such as Ninja (LiquidCandyy 467, 506) and XQC
(LiquidCandyy 330) and telling him to remember them when he becomes famous
(LiquidCandyy 548, 571/572). The latter takes place, for instance, in alkali_layke’s stream when she gets hosted by another, smaller channel (alkali_layke 689). The viewer who hosted her apologizes for not having many followers, but she responds she appreciates it nonetheless and that she does not like it when other streamers ignore hosts by small channels. She follows up by stating how much she enjoyed the stream so far and how thankful she is for all the support (alkali_layke 709 – 739).
For three of the five streamers, their most frequently discussed facet or role is that of them as individual people, FMJayce and LiquidCandyy being the exceptions. The streamers LoLNatsumiii and alkali_layke both receive compliments and comments on
48 their appearance from their viewers at various times during the stream. Most of them only receive short responses but some do lead to prolonged exchanges. At one point, a viewer compliments alkali_layke on her facial structure which leads to an extended discussion when she explains that many photographers actually do not like working with her because of her “crazy jaw line” (alkali_layke 853). Seeing as both female streamers receive compliments on their looks, this could be an effect based on their gender. I did not specifically consider the effects of the streamer’s gender on the interactions during the conceptualization of the thesis. I address this issue in the method-criticism-part of the conclusion as well. The only significant instance of interaction focusing primarily on
FMJayce as an individual is when he is responding to a viewer’s question about his life and job outside of streaming (FMJayce 172 – 186). Interestingly, he brings the discussion back to the topic of streaming, saying it is his dream job, but it is not enough to support him (FMJayce 192 – 194).
Viewer-focused interactions. Interactions focusing on either the streamer’s audience as a whole or on individual viewers were also a relevant feature of the stream.
For comparison, the interactions of this category are differentiated into the same types as the interactions focusing on the streamer: interactions with viewers as (1) players of the game, (2) viewers or members of the stream, and (3) as individuals. As it was the case with streamer-focused discussions, the viewers’ role as players of the same game as the streamer was rarely brought up; and if it was, the interactions were also mostly short- lived. It did not take place at all in LoLNatsumiii’s, Ligmatrix’ and FMJayce’s recorded stream segments. In alkali_layke’s stream, as mentioned before, she has a discussion with
49 one of her viewers about their preferred deck variants. At another point in the stream
(alkali_layke 367), she asks a different viewer whether they are still at the same rank as they said they were in the beginning of the stream (alkali_layke 130). LiquidCandyy also only has a short exchange with a viewer about their favorite hero in Overwatch
(LiquidCandyy 380 – 391, 403, 416).
Interactions focusing on viewers in their role as viewers of the stream – and as
Twitch users in general to a degree –take place during the recordings of every streamer.
A notable instance of that is during LoLNatsumiii’s stream when one of her moderators joins the chat (LoLNatsumiii 969 – 1026). They are explicitly and excitedly greeted by
LoLNatsumiii as well as many of her viewers, and a friendly conversation ensues about their prolonged absence from the stream. Another interesting example takes place when
LiquidCandyy asks one of his viewers about their preferred type of streamer. They respond they like small streams because of they “like being interacted with
(LiquidCandyy 941). When asked how they would rate LiquidCandyy’s stream in regarding his interactivity, they give him a three out of ten (LiquidCandyy 970).
Discussions about viewers as individual persons are also existent across of all of the streams. Ligmatrix has a long-running two-sided conversation with the same viewer he later on talks to about pirating video games. In this instance, the two of them discuss their strengths and weaknesses in school and university, and about when the viewer will finish high school (Ligmatrix 120 – 194). The interaction thus represents an almost equal combination of streamer- and viewer-focus with a slight surplus on the side of the streamer. The exchanges about viewers as individuals on the other streams were
50 comparatively short, but remarkably they took place both between the streamer and viewer as well as exclusively among viewers.
Interactions based on followers and (re-subscriptions). New followers and subscribers, re-subscriptions, donations and bit cheers are a key feature of every Twitch stream. They are standardly indicated on stream via a text notification and a corresponding sound. It is possible for the streamer to customize these settings with a different notification and sound, or to turn them off. There is also usually the option to include a message in the notification text for re-subscriptions which viewers often utilize.
Further, the streamer can include a customizable text-to-speech extension in the stream that reads out the attached message. It is even possible for viewers to gift other viewers subscriptions to a streamer for a certain amount of time. The category of interactions based on followers and (re-)subscriptions is especially interesting as it highlights the importance of the aspect of popularity and success on Twitch. The interactions in this category can be considered from different standpoints: (1) the reactions from the streamer, (2) their influence on stream interactions, and (3) follow and subscription incentives implemented by the streamers.
The reactions by the streamers are relatively similar throughout the recorded streams they take place in. The streamers generally react cheerfully or excited, thanking the responsible viewer. LoLNatsumiii and alkali_layke were the only two streamers experiencing subscriptions; and both of them have multiple viewers in their streams who have been subscribed to them for long periods of time, sometimes even multiple years.
Since re-subscription messages also include the number of months a person has been
51 subscribed, these long-running subscribers and regulars to the streams often seem to get especially emphasized shout-outs and more attention to their messages with longer responses. Another interesting point related to these interactions is that alkali_layke always uses the same phrase, “thank you for the follow, welcome here”, for welcoming new followers.
The influence of new followers and subscribers on the stream varies significantly between the streamers. For a small streamer such as Ligmatrix, getting followers is already highly significant. Accordingly, his reaction to a new follower is characterized by more and genuine excitement. The larger streamers, FMJayce, alkali_layke and
LoLNatsumiii who have thousands of followers each, display a more rudimentary reaction to gaining new one. alkali_layke and LoLNatsumiii pay distinctively more attention to their subscribers and as their messages are being read out, they can start conversations among the streamer and the audience. For example, a discussion mentioned earlier about playing other video games during LoLNatsumiii’s stream was started off by a re-subscription even though the attached message was not gaming-related
(LoLNatsumiii 105 – 117).
Follow and subscription incentives from the side of the streamer also seem to be an important aspect for Twitch streams, both in general and as causes for interactions during the stream. Ligmatrix’ stream includes a rather rudimentary idea of promising in his stream title to do 25 push-ups for each new follower; a promise he has to fulfill at two occasions during the stream (Ligmatrix 252 – 295, 467 – 480). The first of these occasions leads to some light-hearted banter between Ligmatrix, the new follower and
52 another viewer, proving the idea to be somewhat successful. Another notable example is alkali_layke coming up with a new, more advanced subscriber incentive during her stream. She proposes a new incentive for “tier-2-subscibers” – a more expensive type of subscription – through which they can make her accept a friend request from a person she just played against and tell her what to say to them (alkali_layke 634 – 662). Her viewers react to the suggestion by telling her to be cautious. Some of them share their experiences of adding people after games which were often negative.
53 Discussion
The first step of the analysis was to describe the interactions taking place during the recorded live streams and to inductively group them into plausible categories. The second step is to unite them with the deductive categories from the theoretical concepts I introduced earlier, and to then evaluate their possible influence on the construction of individual and social identification for the participants of the stream.
How could Interactions between the Streamer and their Viewers during Video
Game Live Streams Lead to Individual Identification?
Which types of interactions may facilitate different levels of parasocial interaction?
Dimensions of parasocialness. To analyze the interactions regarding their potential for parasocialness, I am utilizing, as mentioned before, Giles’ continuum of social-parasocial encounters which consists of the following dimensions: (1) number of persons involved, (2) physical distance between interactants, (3) social conventions, and
(4) potential relationship between the interactants.
Number of persons involved. The first dimension, the number of persons involved in the interactions, can be worked through rather straightforwardly using the data from the day of the recorded sessions. As explained in the method section, the streams were, in part, chosen based on their Twitch status as either a regular streamer (Ligmatrix), as an
Affiliate (FMJayce, alkali_layke, LiquidCandyy) or as a Partner (LiquidCandyy). Their status is reflected by the number of viewers each of the streamers had during their recorded streaming sessions. I am using the numbers from the Twitch statistics and
54 analysis website “Sullygnome” (sullygnome.com) for the day of the recording to provide a more accurate estimate for the average number of viewers as well as the peak viewership throughout the entire stream session. The website also shows the number of followers the streamers had on the day of the recording which helps with the comparison of the streams. Sullygnome draws its information from the Twitch api and appears to be accurate when comparing the number of followers and total views of the stream. The numbers are displayed in the following overview (Table 4).
Table 4
Streamer statistics on the day of recording Streamer Status Average peak number of number of number of number of followers active chat viewers viewers users Ligmatrix regular 1 7 80 4 streamer FMJayce Affiliate 28 47 12,490 23 alkali_layke Affiliate 91 168 3,442 40 LiquidCandyy Affiliate 6 13 332 14 LoLNatsumiii Partner 339 857 115,815 100+
Looking at the viewer numbers of the streams in relation to their number of followers, they overall seem relatively proportionate. The higher the number of followers, the higher the number of viewers. The only notable exception is between the Affiliates
FMJayce and alkali_layke. The former has a much higher number of followers than the latter but less average and peak viewers. Otherwise, based on my analysis of the recorded stream segments, these numbers also correspond approximately with the number of active participants in the chats. 55 Looking at these numbers, regarding the level of parasocialness of the individual streams they could indicate, it would mean that streams with the smaller viewer numbers, i.e. Ligmatrix’, LiquidCandyy’s and FMJayce’s, have a higher possibility of containing more actual social interactions. The streams of alkali_layke and LoLNatsumiii, on the other hand, should be characterized by a higher level of parasocialness.
Physical distance between the interactants. The dimension of physical distance in the case of live streams can also be judged rather easily. However, the dimension did not play much of a role throughout the recorded sessions. Still, three of the streams did contain at least one or two instances of interactions that brushed on the aspect of physical distance. During alkali_layke’s stream, for instance, a viewer asks whether she tried out a certain pizza place they had recommended to her. She responds that she did (alkali_layke
185 – 197), implying that both of them have at least been in the same city before. Other instances in which physical distance played a role were when viewers mention their home city or country when greeting the streamer, but they barely led to any interactions. But for one of the streams, that of LiquidCandyy, physical distance actually played a rather significant role compared to the others. LiquidCandyy is Australian and, as it seems, a substantial part of his active audience is as well. In the beginning of the steam, the fact that they are “Aussies” is brought up multiple times (LiquidCandyy 26, 29, 98, 330 –
340) and at the end of the stream, LiquidCandyy picks an Australian streamer to host because he wants “to give back to the aussie streamers” (LiquidCandyy 1114). Therefore, the fact that LiquidCandyy and some of his viewers share this characteristic related to physical distance so prominently, does seem put the interactions in his stream more into
56 the social direction. Looking at the other streams, however, it seems like an exception to the rule that the dimension of physical distance is mostly irrelevant for streamers on
Twitch.
Social conventions. The dimension of social conventions is possibly the most relevant for the analysis of Twitch streams regarding the level of parasocialness they facilitate. The level of social conventions in an interaction is based on its overall degree of formality, i.e. it depends the amount ritual features the interaction contains. In order to evaluate this dimension, I am going to utilize some of the inductively developed interaction categories. I will judge them based on their level of formality and their ritual features.
The category of gameplay commentary can, for the most part, be considered as formal.
As stated before, it is an almost entirely one-sided act of communication and it persists mostly of a predetermined vocabulary based on the game the streamer is playing.
However, the same variating factors as for the gameplay commentary (specific game, streamer personality, audience influence) apply here. I would say, the commentary of the
LoL streamers is the most formalized as it is very consistent and it always follows the basic structure of the match. In the champion-select-phase, for instance, the streamers usually talk about the selected champions. The commentary of the card game
Hearthstone, and the shooters Overwatch and Apex Legends seem comparatively less formalized, each for varying reasons. However, the validity of this assessment is very limited since I only analyzed one streamer each. Hearthstone’s slow pacing seems to allow for more interactive gameplay discussion which does take place in alkali_layke’s
57 stream. Overwatch and Apex Legends appear to be a special case because, while their fast pace makes viewer in-put almost impossible, LiquidCandyy’s use of the voice communication feature makes his commentary seem more interactive than it really is.
The streamer’s personality also influences the commentary’s level of formality.
For example, during the first part of his stream, FMJayce had a highly emotional reaction to his game crashing which derailed his commentary for several minutes. LoLNatsumiii’s commentary, in comparison, is sometimes affected by mild annoyance and frustration but generally very contained (LoLNatsumiii 312 – 322). As stated before, the influence of the audience is overall minimal. It is also somewhat ritualistic in its own right, as it consists mostly of reactions to the streamer or basic comments and questions.
The category of the topic-based interactions I would assess as generally less formal than the gameplay commentary and analysis. However, there is some variance regarding the sub-categories. The sub-category of discussions about the game is still rather ritualistic, as it is for the most part determined by the content of the games as well as the events during the matches. The sub-category of discussions of stream technicalities is also somewhat formalized, as it consists mainly of routine streaming-related situations or topics introduced by the streamers. But especially the latter can still lead to fruitful interactions between streamer and audience. The sub-category for discussions of other topics is the least formal one across almost all streams. Both the streamers and the audiences seem to have an equal influence on the topics that are discussed; especially when the stream is small enough for the streamer to be able to keep up with all of the chat messages. The only exception to this would be LoLNatsumiii, as her chat moves rather
58 quickly at times. Therefore, she can, or has to, pick and choose more freely what she wants to talk about, making the discussions somewhat more formalized.
The level of social conventions of the categories for the streamer- and viewer- focused interactions is best discussed by looking at the streamers and their audiences individually. Ligmatrix, the regular streamer with the smallest audience, portrays the least amount of formality when talking to his viewers. For a long stretch of time during the stream, he leads an eye-to-eye conversation with the same viewer, as far as that is possible in a live stream setting, in which they are both talking about themselves.
FMJayce’s interactions in this category are also mostly informal; with the distinction that they are mostly focused on himself and much less on the audience, at least in the recorded segments. The only more ritualistically characterized period for him was when he was setting up, explaining and later on carrying through his giveaway for his audience.
alkali_layke’s stream contains both formal and informal aspects regarding interactions focusing on herself or her audience. But surprisingly when considering her number of viewers, the informal aspects seem to be predominant. There are some ritualistic features, e.g. when she addresses her viewers in general, saying how much fun she’s having during the stream and how she appreciates their support (L 406, 727). Also, multiple viewers compliment her on her appearance. Since both female streamers get complimented throughout their streams, I would consider this behavior as more ritualistic than based on them as an individual. But otherwise, there are a significantly more casual exchanges and instances where individual features of viewers or herself are discussed in an informal manner.
59 As for LiquidCandyy’s stream, the number of ritualistic features in his conversations with his audience seems relatively high. The most prominent example for this is that he constantly repeats almost everything he says at least once. This particularity gives the entire stream the impression of a performance. His viewers also engage in some ritualistic behavior when talking to him. As mentioned before, they repeatedly praise him, compare him to other popular streamers, and tell him to remember them when he becomes famous. However, there are also instances of more genuine interaction during his stream, e.g. when he says goodbye to a viewer who is leaving the stream
(LiquidCandyy 703 – 736).
LoLNatsumiii’s stream is characterized by a rather high level of formality, most likely due to her popularity as she is the biggest streamer of the five. The main exception was the first segment of the stream when she was chatting with her audience about various topics. She spent a few minutes talking about the blanket-cape she is wearing which she apparently got as a gift from a viewer. She also talks about some of the make- up products she uses while making herself up. But throughout the later segments, the exchanges with her viewers were, for the majority, rather succinct and basic, with only few exceptions. Similar to alkali_layke, she also gets complimented multiple times by her viewers throughout the stream which again counts as ritualistic behavior.
The last inductive category, the interactions based on followers and (re-
)subscriptions, is also relevant for the evaluation of the level of social conventions in a stream. These features offered by the platform almost exclusively seem to lead to formal reactions by the streamer, no matter the size of the stream. The streamers generally and
60 understandably tend to react positively, calling out and thanking the responsible viewer.
As mentioned above Ligmatrix promises to do push-ups for new followers and alkai_layke responds with the same phrase to every new follower, which are ritualistic behaviors. Another notable trend for this aspect seems to be that, the more popular a streamer is, the more interactions are based on (re-)subscription messages. This is especially the case for LoLNatsumiii which is, again, reasonable since subscription messages stand out more when they come with a notification and are being read out by a text-to-speech bot.
In summary, the dimension of social conventions and their influence on a stream’s potential level of parasocialness depends on multiple factors. These include the game, the streamer’s personality and communicatory preferences, the audience size and the viewer’s individual characteristics. Overall, the interactions across the streams are characterized by a relatively high level of formality and thus parasocialness (Giles 2002).
Significant parts of the conversation are directed by the streamer, and they often evolve around topics closely related to the stream, e.g. the game, gaming in general or the streamer. It is interesting to see, however, that the level of formality does not necessarily seem to grow linearly to the size of the audience.
Potential relationship between the participants. The last dimension on the social- parasocial continuum, the potential relationship between the participant, is again addressed rather easily. Generally speaking, consistency is an extremely important factor for live streams. In order to reach and maintain any level of popularity as a streamer, it is basically mandatory to stream every day (Clark 2017, November 20). And it is equally as
61 important to build a loyal followership of regular viewers who enjoy watching a streamer for long periods of time (Hamilton 2014). Consequentially, streamers should be paying special attention to their regulars during the stream; and throughout the recorded streams, it becomes evident that they do so in varying degrees.
Overall, the streamers treat all of their viewers for the most part with candidness and friendliness. Regular viewers, however, are met with more recognition, familiarity and affection during interactions with them. This takes place, for instance, when a streamer or viewer recalls an experience they shared in another streaming session. In
Ligmatrix’ stream, this happens when a viewer mentions how they made him do 150 push-ups the other day (Ligmatrix 275 – 280). Another example is LiquidCandyy talking about his viewer’s own streams which he apparently joins and hosts regularly. And during LiquidCandyy’s, FMJayce’s, alkali_layke’s and LoLNatsumiii’s streams, there are repeated occurrences of the streamer calling viewers by their actual first name and the other way around. LoLNatsumiii and alkali_layke are again special cases because they both have active moderators for their streams. These moderators receive even more attention from both the streamers and other audience members than the regular viewers and have a notable impact on interactions during the stream (Hamilton et al. 2014, p.
1316). alkali_layke goes another step further when it comes to recognizing her most loyal followers. For multiple viewers, she has created specific chat commands for her stream which, when written in chat, print out a prefabricated text about that viewer. For example, writing “!troy” into her chat window produces the message: “Troy Legend-wood is a
62 long time contributor to Ally and one of the nicest guys on Twitch!” (alkali_layke 721 –
722).
These forms of showing familiarity and affection may not be the same as real- world relationships or even online friendships on social media. But I would argue that they are a reasonable equivalent when looking at Twitch. And that their manifestation in a stream is an indicator for a higher level of socialness. It is important to note here that these relationships do not have to be exclusively built exclusively on the stream interactions. It is possible that the streamers already know some of their viewers from the offline world or via other online channels, e.g. the game they play.
Which types of interactions may facilitate different levels of self-disclosure?
Levels of self-disclosure. As stated in the theory section (p. 16), I conjoin the concept of self-disclosure – expressed through the depth and breadth of the information revealed about the participants in an interaction – with the dimensions of (para-
)socialness. The goal in doing so is to increase the amount of systematical information extracted from the interactions that might be relevant to the process of individual identification between viewer and streamer.
When evaluating an interaction regarding its level of self-disclosure about the participants, I am distinguishing between low depth and great depth on the one hand, and small breadth and large breadth on the other hand. The following table demonstrates the possible combinations of the forms of self-disclosure an interaction can take with these variables (Table 5).
63 Table 5 Possible forms of self-disclosure in an interaction small breadth large breadth low depth low depth + small breadth low depth + large breadth great depth great depth + small breadth great depth + large breadth
The combination of low depth and small breadth in information is the most common form of self-disclosure that took place during the streams – both on the side of the streamers and of the audience members. It applies to most of the small interactions and short exchanges regarding the various topics that are addressed as well as to interactions focusing on the streamer or on individual viewers. The result appears plausible, especially for the channels with larger audiences and more actively participating viewers.
Since video game live streams are overall entertainment-oriented media products, a tendency towards light-heartedness (or even shallowness), and shorter rather than longer personal exchanges, seems reasonable.
Still, there were instances of interactions in multiple streams which can be labeled with the combinations of low depth and large breadth, and great depth and small breadth.
Interactions which included a level of self-disclosure characterized by low depth, but large breadth were mostly focused around the streamer and topics they are interested in.
The streamer FMJayce is a primary example for this. Towards the end of his stream, he talks uninterruptedly for several minutes about the difference between having a 60 Hz monitor, a 120 Hz monitor, a 144 Hz monitor or a 240 Hz monitor. He shows several
YouTube videos demonstrating the difference in framerates and explains in great detail 64 its impact on the gaming experience (L 429 – 608). Another example for the combination takes place in LoLNatsumiii’s stream when she is talking about the cape she is wearing.
She explains that she got it as a gift from one of her viewers and that she wears it almost every day while streaming because of its comfortableness and warmth. She then demonstrates how she deals with the irritating tail in the back of the cape (L 36 – 87).
The matter is personal to her but not of great importance. Still, it goes on for quite some time.
Interactions with the reversed combination of self-disclosing interactions with great depth and small breadth are also interesting cases. They occur on both the streamer’s and the viewer’s side, although the latter appears very infrequently. For example, one of LiquidCandyy’s viewers shares how they dread going back to high school the next day. They mention their fear multiple times (L 23, 128, 252) but they go unheard by the streamer. LiquidCandyy later on apologizes for not keeping up with and responding to their messages (L 435 – 437). On the side of the streamer, these instances are somewhat more common. They often occur as reactions to unfortunate events in their matches, especially for the three LoL streamers. As mentioned before, FMJayce reacts furiously to his game crashing going so far as to say he hates the game LoL in general.
Similar instances, to a less extreme degree, also find themselves in LoLNatsumiii’s and
Ligmatrix’ streams. These situations indicate that the players sincerely care about the game and winning their matches.
The last combination – self-disclosure at great depth and large breadth – is the rarest among the four. There were only two situations that I would consider belonging
65 into this category, and both of them happened during Ligmatrix’ stream. Firstly, when he and his continuous viewer throughout the entire stream talked about their strength and weaknesses and how they plan to continue their lives. In the course of the discussion,
Ligmatrix mentions that he is taking time off because he is feeling burned out after going to military service and university (L 216 – 218). Secondly, at the end of the stream, when the two of them are talking about how they are both regularly pirating video games
(Ligmatrix 516 – 591). They both seem to be comfortable with sharing that they practice basically an illegal activity and with discussing how to do it safely.
Extended Interpretation
How could different levels of parasocialness and self-disclosure influence the development of individual identification between the streamer and their viewers? As mentioned in the theory section, individual identification in a reciprocal relationship, after Kelman, can be understood as: “to behave in such a way as to meet the expectations of the other” (1961, p. 64). That means to play the role which you find is appropriate for the situation. The basic roles for a Twitch stream – the streamer and the viewer – are predetermined by the nature of the platform. In this section, I will discuss some of the variance with which these roles can be lived out by comparing the individual streams. I will do so based on the types of interactions during the streams and my evaluation of their manifestation of the dimensions of (para-)social interaction and self-disclosure.
Ligmatrix’ stream, I would judge to be the one that overall facilitates the lowest level of parasocialness compared to the others. The major factors for that are, firstly, his small number of viewers and, secondly, the informality of his interactions. Ligmatrix is a
66 relatively new streamer, having only started streaming in September 2018. Since it takes time to build a loyal audience, his small number of active viewers is hardly surprising. If there are only one or two active viewers, as it was the case with the recorded streaming session, it is easier to thoroughly engage with them. That is what Ligmatrix did. Most likely in an effort to build a genuine and lasting connection, he was leading an informal, quasi eye-to-eye conversation with the same viewer throughout long stretches of the stream. Large parts of this conversation were not related to the game (LoL) but addressed various other topics. Ligmatrix’ stream is also characterized by a high level of self- disclosure. It showed somewhat through his emotional gameplay commentary but especially through the longwinded and personal dialogue with his active viewer. Overall,
I would argue that Ligmatrix in this streaming session does not portray the mindset of being an entertainer for a large crowd. He seems more like a regular person who likes to talk to someone about anything and everything while playing. And as Ligmatrix viewer proves, there seem to be viewers on Twitch who are looking for exactly that.
LiquidCandyy, the second smallest streamer according to his viewer and follower numbers, is almost the complete opposite of that. Even though it would be possible for him to interact with that number of viewers on a more personal level, he rarely does so. A major reason for that lies in his choice of the games he is playing. The fast-paced, team- communication-based action shooters he seems to prefer, demand most of his attention while playing and do not allow for much audience interaction. But even in-between matches, the interactions with his audience tend to fall more on the side of parasocialness than socialness. He talks almost constantly and the way he expresses himself is heavily
67 characterized by ritual features. The most predominant one is that he constantly repeats himself, as if to fill any gaps in the flow of his communication. This has the effect that even if his audience members start an interaction, he tends to respond with a delay, if at all, after finishing what he was saying. And if he responds, his constant flow of speech does not really allow for an extended conversation to develop. The two major instances with emphasis on socialness in his stream are him talking to his viewers about their own streams and the games they play, and the fact that him and some of his viewers are
Australian. Consequently, the level of self-disclosure for the streaming session was also fairly low. LiquidCandyy himself shared little to nothing about his personal life, and one of his viewers tried to, they were overlooked. I would argue that LiquidCandyy might be attempting to behave similar to other popular streamers, like Ninja, who are focused on entertaining large audiences mostly through their gameplay and exiting commentary. It does seem to work to a degree, as multiple viewers tout him as the Australian version of the next big streamer (LiquidCandyy 467, 548).
The LoL streamer FMJayce is an especially remarkable case when it comes to the individual identity he portrays. He has been streaming for more than three years and he has the second highest number of followers of the five streamers. However, on the day of the recording, he had fewer average viewers than alkali_layke who has only a quarter of
FMJayce’s followers. The main focus point of his stream is definitely the game, LoL, in which he is a high-ranking player. He is also the player with the most time spent playing the LoL-champion ‘Jayce’ which inspired his Twitch name. This information can be found on his channel page (Fig. 1, Nr. 24) Accordingly, the interactions with his viewers
68 are mostly formal in that they are constrained by the contents of the game. When starting the stream, he talks about how he hopes to climb to an even higher rank. In-between matches he talks about how he prefers to play his champion. The most interactive part of his stream is during a giveaway for an icon in LoL (FMJayce 190 – 197, 233, 235, 249).
When he talks about his daily life, it is in relation to his to his streaming schedule and his dream to be a full-time streamer (FMJayce 179 – 189). Only towards the end of the stream, he branches out somewhat but topically still remains in the realm of computers and gaming. Even though his viewer numbers are low enough to allow for more reciprocal conversation, it rarely emerges since, seemingly, neither him nor his viewers seem interested in that. The interactions taking place during his recorded stream therefore mostly encourage parasocial interaction. It is noteworthy, however, that FMJayce himself does express a fairly high level of self-disclosure during the stream, even though it does not evoke the same in his audience. He shares his emotions and frustrations uninhibitedly, and mentions private facts, e.g. his alcohol use while streaming (FMJayce
142 – 143) incidentally. Overall, I would assume the majority of people who tune into
FMJayce’s stream are other regular players of the game. He streams very consistently, and he is highly proficient at LoL and his main champion, which likely makes his stream attractive to viewers looking for high quality gameplay. He appears to be a competitive player who shows his emotions and enjoys sharing his insights and opinions, making his stream engaging without much actual social interaction.
The streamer LoLNatsumiii is, according to her viewer numbers and other statistics, the most popular and successful streamer of the five. With more than 330
69 viewers on average during the recorded session, her chat is moving constantly, and many messages go unread. The sheer size of her audience thus indicates from the outset that her stream will most likely be a more parasocial than social experience. Looking at the level of formality in her interactions, it shows that her stream contains a sizable amount of gameplay commentary and analysis which is, again, rather formalized. It is important to note however that her commentary feels, compared at least to the other LoL streamer, marginally more social. While playing she sometimes asks questions seemingly into the open room which many audience members attempt to answer (LoLNatsumiii 1214 –
1264). Even if she cannot possibly read or respond to all even some of the answers, it conveys the semblance of a real social interaction. This is possibly one of the most distinct examples for triggering a parasocial response that takes place during the recorded streaming sessions (Schramm & Hartmann 2008, p. 387). The more social interactions in her stream are strongly tilted towards messages from her subscribers. This could have the effect, however, that her responses to these messages are influenced by the fact that their authors are financially supporting her. Topically, the interactions are also mostly geared towards herself, e.g. viewers are often commenting on or complimenting her appearance.
During her extended chatting session in the beginning of the stream, she talks about things directly related to her person such as her cape, her make-up and her cats. The level of self-disclosure during her stream thus feels rather limited and one-dimensional. Aside from showing some frustration while playing, LoLNatsumiii does not share a lot of intimate information. And for her viewers, it is hard to share any personal information at all, intimate or not. The only viewers who seem to get a significant amount of personal
70 attention are her moderators, a few long-time subscribers, and another streamer who hosts her channel with almost 200 viewers of their own. In sum, I would say that
LoLNatsumiii’s stream is typical for someone who has established their popularity over a long period of time. She has a dedicated and very consistent and supportive audience, largely made up of people who adore her. To those, she pays most of her attention.
Overall, she provides a cozy and atmospheric experience of her playing and chatting.
The last of the five, alkali_layke’s stream is an extraordinary case in the way she lives out her role as a streamer. She is the streamer with the second largest audience but is evoking a higher amount of socialness in her interactions than both LiquidCandyy and
FMJayce who have less viewers than her. She talks to individual viewers a lot and about various topics. Of course, much of the conversation still revolves around the game, herself and her stream, as is the case with the other streamers do. But she also talks to her viewers about themselves and encourages them to share things about them by asking them questions individually (e.g. alkali_layke 134, 367). At multiple points during the stream, she calls out her active viewers by name and expresses how much she is enjoying the time with them (alkali_layke 749, 1212). Similar to LoLNatsumiii, she also gets complimented repeatedly for her looks and sometimes takes these compliments and turns them into a conversation. The main reason for her predominant informality is her personality; however, the fact that she mainly plays a game with slow pacing and longer periods of downtime compliments her described streaming habitus very well. Still, the fact remains that alkali_layke also has many long-running subscribers, as is the case with
LoLNatsumiii. Therefore, a significant part of the interactions during her stream shares
71 the more formal characteristics going along with that. When it comes to the level of self- disclosure, it is more prominent and reciprocal than in the other Affiliate’s streams. alkai_layke shares some small but personal details about herself, e.g. that she was a professional hairdresser before streaming or that both her father and brother were in the army (alkali_layke 980). And her viewers tend to do the same. For example, one of them shares that they are watching the stream with their nine-month-old daughter violet (L 356
– 365). Generally, I would say alkali_layke provides her viewers with the experience of being part of a large friend group or party. She is mostly very personal and social with the viewers who want to be. But she also appreciates the people who are just watching or lurking, and she expresses that throughout the stream. The atmosphere is mostly light- hearted and humorous, and the active viewers seem to just enjoy her personality and company and are happy to support her by following and subscribing.
How could Group-Based Interactions during Video Game Live Streams lead to
Social Identification among the Viewers?
Which types of interactions may facilitate more inductive or deductive group identity formation? As described in the theory section (p. 20), Postmes et al. (2005) propose there are two ways of constructing a group identity: deductively, based on group- level similarity, and inductively, based on intragroup interaction and individuality. These ways are not considered to be mutually exclusive. In most social groups, identity is constructed through a combination of both paths (Postmes et al. 2005, p. 761). In this section, I am evaluating the types of interactions based on how they are contributing to
72 the creation of a more inductive or deductive group identity. Then I am going to assess the group identities of the examined streams as examples.
Across all streams, the category of gameplay commentary and analysis and the first sub-category of the topic-based discussions, general discussion of the game, are exclusively sources for deductive group identity. Both are entirely based on the shared interest in the streamers’ main games. I draw this conclusion under the assumption that the viewers of the streams, especially the ones active in the chat, are familiar with or players of the respective games, and are thus part of their overall communities. Looking at the significance of these (sub-)categories across all streams, they will be a substantial part of their group identities.
The second sub-category of topic-based interactions, discussions of other topics, is still mostly based on a combination of various deductive identities. Especially, when talking about other games, gaming in general, or pop-culture-related topics, the interactions focus heavily on shared interests (p. 43-44). However, there are instances in which these shared-interest-focused discussions develop into a more individualistic direction. This is especially the case when viewers are bringing up topics, they are interested in. An example would be when Ligmatrix’ viewer requests a rather ridiculous song during the stream (Ligmatrix 429 – 446). Ligmatrix first reacts confused and looks up the video on YouTube. Then they talk about the idiocy or genius it takes to create such a product. When the discussions turn to offline-world-related topics, although that rarely happened in the recorded sessions, they are mostly characterized by the individuality of
73 the participants. Discussions of stream technicalities are again mostly based on the shared interest in the streaming activity (p. 44 – 46).
Streamer-focused interactions are somewhat difficult to evaluate regarding the type of group identity they help to construct. When the interactions focus on the streamer in their position as a player or streamer, they are clearly portraying deductive forms of identity. But even when the streamer is being talked about as an individual person, it can be considered as a source for a deductive group identity exclusive to the stream. Because everybody who is part of the stream, to a degree, partakes in these interactions by witnessing them and adds these experiences to their perceived identity of the stream.
When it comes to interactions focused on the viewers of the stream, it is the first and only major category in which the individualistic tendencies predominate. The deductive aspects of their group identity as viewers of the stream and players of the games still persist. But when the streamers talk to their viewers as persons outside of these pre- established identities, the effect of the recognition of individuality transmits to the entire stream experience. And finally, the interactions based on followers and (re-)subscriptions are, again, completely in support of the deductive group identities of the streams.
Through them, the audience members actively and both in- and outwardly portray themselves as supporters of their streamer.
Based on these evaluations, the construction of group identities for the particular streams can be reviewed. It is important to emphasize, that these assessments are to be treated with caution, as they are based on a minimal insight into the stream. For the streams of FMJayce, LiquidCandyy and LoLNatsumiii, I would argue that the group
74 identities displayed are mostly deductive. However, the focus on which of the shared interests are predominant for each stream varies significantly. Based on the interactions in his recorded stream, the group identity of FMJayce’s stream is mostly based around the game, LoL. The interactions during the stream are dominated by commentary and discussions of or related to it. Other, less significant sources for a deductive group identity seem to be his position as a streamer and other gaming-related topics. When he addresses his audience, it is almost exclusively in their capacity as LoL-players or people who watch him, but barely ever individually.
LiquidCandyy’s stream seems to be built heavily around his streamer personality.
The actual game he plays does not really matter that much although he seems to prefer games that are fast-paced and allow him to communicate consistently. The group identity of his stream, is that of people watching an exciting, entertaining Australian streamer without much individual contribution from the viewers outside of hyping him up. The group identity of LoLNatsumiii’s also feels like it is largely built around her streamer personality. However, her stream is focused more about her as an individual person who also plays while streaming. Most of the interactions in the recorded stream segments are focused on her, especially in the extended chatting-session in the beginning. When it comes to her audience, the viewers who are addressed in interactions are almost exclusively her subscribers or moderators. Topically speaking, however, her stream does have overall more variety when it comes to the discussion of different shared interests compared to the other two.
75 As for alkali_layke, I would argue that her stream allows for the construction of a more individuality-based group identity. Compared to the other three streamers, she focuses the most on her audience members individually and makes them a key topic and feature of the stream. Still, the shared interest in the game, Hearthstone, is a relevant factor for her stream as well. And her subscribers also influence her stream significantly, if not as much as LoLNatsumiii’s. Therefore, the group identity in her stream seems constructed both inductively and deductively to an even degree. Lastly, Ligmatrix is a special case. Since he does not have an audience to speak of, it is difficult to evaluate the group identity he is trying to create for his stream. He mostly seems to talk about what comes to mind and what his viewers bring up when he has one. For this reason, I would argue that his stream does not really transmit a clear group identity.
Which types of interactions may facilitate different levels of co-experience?
Co-experience, as stated in the theory (p. 21 – 22), is a marketing-research concept and it describes the perceived added value of a user’s interaction with a product, i.e. the streams, and its other users to the consumption experience. In regard to this study, that means: how much influence do the viewers seem to have on the overall stream- experience? The concept is divided into the three subconstructs of participation, cognitive communion and resonant contagion. I might not be able to evaluate how strongly the viewers perceive their own influence, but I can imply, by looking at the interactions, how much overall value is added to the streams by the audience members.
Participation. Participation in this case is defined as the individual’s possible influence on the product experience itself (cf. Lim et al. 2012, p. 1366 – 1367)). There
76 are multiple ways on Twitch for viewers to have an impact on the stream, but they seem to be largely dependent on the size of the stream and the disposition of the streamer. The easiest way to participate in a stream is by writing something in the chat. Even if the message stays unread by the streamer or even the other viewers, it could still add a minimal amount of value, as the composer of the message can at least think that someone read their message. But this is just speculation. The minimal detectable amount of participation takes place, when another viewer responds to someone’s chat message. This happened multiple times in the recorded sessions of the larger streamers, especially when viewers were asking questions. For example, when FMJayce does his giveaway, one of his viewers asks what it is for, and another viewer answers him. (FMJayce 235, 239). In very large streams such as LoLNatsumiii’s, this is often undertaken by moderators; most likely in response to questions that are being asked very frequently (e.g. LoLNatsumiii
1038, 1044). The next higher tier of participation during streams would be when a chat message by a viewer is being read out and responded to by the streamer. As it has become clear throughout the analysis so far, this happens frequently across all streams, however, not to the same degree.
Both FMJayce’s and LiquidCandyy’s streams, although they are both small enough for the streamer to read all chat messages, do not seem to foster as much or as broad of an audience participation. The former, because the focus of his stream and interactions is very narrow. FMJayce might not be actively suppressing participation but since his stream is so heavily geared towards high-level LoL-gameplay, other topics might feel somewhat displaced. Conversely, when a viewer of FMJayce hits on a topic he is
77 interested in, he can talk about it extensively which does influence the experience of the other viewers. The latter, because – as discussed before – his constant commentary which rarely lingers at the same topic for long, does not seem to allow for a lot of input from the viewers.
For the other three streams, participation through chat messages seems to have a more noticeable influence. For Ligmatrix, this is the case as he only has one truly active viewer throughout long stretches of the recorded session, with few exceptions (Ligmatrix 247,
477 – 482). alkali_layke and LoLNatsumiii both take time to respond to their viewers. alkali does it consistently and thoroughly throughout her stream, trying to catch as many messages as possible. LoLNatsumiii takes time at the beginning of the stream to chat more extensively with her audience, as later on the chat gets too crowded to respond to most messages. The highest, or rather most effective, form of participation seems to be through following, donating or subscribing (see p. 50 – 51). This is understandable, as many streamers are generally looking to grow in audience size and popularity, and are interested in financial gain (Hamilton et al. 2014, p. 1321; Clark 2017, November 20).
Also, in general, these forms of participation are the most notable, as they are accompanied by notifications and possibly a text-to-speech message. Therefore, even if the streamer does not react to a subscription or follow, the rest of the audience is to a small degree impacted by the act of participation.
Cognitive communion. The subconstruct of cognitive communion describes the perception of an individual sharing the same knowledge with others which enhances feeling of experiencing together (Lim et al. 2012, p. 1367). This concept appears to be
78 very similar to the previously discussed cases of deductively constructed identity, based on shared interests. The sequences in which shared knowledge between viewers should be particularly relevant, are any interactions in which multiple viewers participate in a discussion of a topic. These are, as stated before, mostly based on the streamers primary game, the stream or the streamer, and discussions of pop culture topics such as Harry
Potter (LoLNatsumiii 824 – 873) or the death of the musician Avicii (alkali_layke 986 –
1027). Another indicator for the relevance of cognitive communion for Twitch, is the heavy use of jargon throughout all streams. The jargon is mostly “game-jargon” and
Twitch-jargon. Game-jargon is mostly straightforward. Each game has specific features and mechanics that most players learn while playing; their names get abbreviated and adapted by the games’ communities over time. The fact that game-jargon is used consistently throughout the streams is a strong indicator for the relevance of cognitive communion. The heavy use of Twitch-jargon is a more interesting phenomenon as it is supplied by basically a background factor of the streaming experience. Twitch-jargon for the most part consists of the – sometimes abbreviated – names of actual Twitch emotes.
The use of the name of emotes such as “Kappa” (e.g. LiquidCandyy 212) or “PogChamp”
(e.g. LoLNatsumiii 168, 370; LiquidCandyy 1001) seemingly conveys their meaning even without the picture. This type of jargon-use seems to imply a highly specific variant of cognitive communion.
Resonant contagion. Lastly, resonant contagion is defined as the “tangible proceeding of influence between the users of a product” (Lim et al. 2012, p. 1367). Even though this construct is the most demonstrable subconstruct of co-experience, it only
79 rarely appeared during the streams. The main instance during which resonant contagion was notable, happened during LoLNatsumiii’s stream when she gets hosted by a streamer with almost 200 viewers. Likely because it was a few days before Valentine’s Day, the new arrivals filled LoLNatsumiii’s chat with hundreds of subscriber-heart-emotes from the other streamer. They completely took over the chat for several minutes making it unusable for other purposes, as messages were simply swept away by heart emotes. Some of LoLNatsumiii’s own viewers also joined the spam by posting the regular Twitch-heart- emotes or LoLNatsumiii’s version of a heart-emote. The resonating effect continued shortly after, when one of the new arrivals noticed that LoLNatsumiii had almost reached her subscriber goal of 1000 subscribers which was displayed through a counter on screen.
The viewer rallied the others to subscribe to LoLNatsumiii in order to “GET THE SUB
GOALLL” (LoLNatsumiii 569) which they actually achieved shortly after. There were other, smaller instances that appeared to be caused by resonant contagion. But in most of them, the streamer reacting to the instance primary instance, e.g. alkali_layke thanks a viewer for hosting her and another viewer hosts her moments after (alkali_layke 689 –
729), at least partially influences the resonant contagion.
Extended Interpretation
How could different forms of group identity and levels of co-experience influence the development of social identification within the stream’s community?
The goal of this last segment is to tentatively evaluate which forms a viewer’s social identification with a stream and its audience could take. The assumptions are based on the previous elaborations of the possibilities for group identities and co-experience in the
80 exemplary streams. To quickly reiterate the difference between social identification and group identity from the theory: social identification happens within a single person who becomes part of a group and therefore their membership in the group becomes part of their social identity; group identity describes the overall identity (i.e. sum of its shared and individual members’ characteristics) of an entire group.
Twitch streams offer a variety of facets that could be the cause for developing social identification with it and its community. Beginning with their more deductive qualities, there are first and foremost, the games that are played. Each game and its community are different and additionally, they can be played in various ways. Games can be fast or slow, more strategic or mechanical, with short or long matches. Their players can be competitive and intense or more casual and light-hearted. I would assume that viewers like to watch people who play the same games in the same manner as they do.
For example, someone who prefers high-skill LoL gameplay and whose favorite LoL champion is Jayce will most likely prefer FMJayce’s stream over LoLNatsumiii’s.
Conversely, someone who enjoys some more casual support gameplay should pick
Natsumiii’s stream over FMJayce’s.
Secondly, there are the streamers themselves who, as I have said before, mainly decide the overall atmosphere, contents and proceedings of the stream. While the goal of most of them is likely, to a degree, to entertain their audience, there are different ways to achieve that. For someone who just wants to enjoy some action-packed gameplay with consistent and enthusiastic commentary would probably prefer a streamer like LiquidCandyy.
Whereas someone who enjoys calmer, friendly, humorous and more conversational
81 entertainment is going to feel at home in a stream like alkali-layke’s. And someone who just wants somebody to have an actual conversation with, will likely look for a streamer with almost no viewers, such as Ligmatrix.
Looking at some of the more interactive aspects, there are also different options.
Even though conversations during the streams often revolve around closely related topics such as gaming and other (online) pop-culture phenomena, there are streams with more or less topical variety. For viewers who come to Twitch for discussing the shared interest in a game or in being a streamer, there are options such as LiquidCandyy and FMJayce. For viewers who prefer to talk in a group about various topics which they are interested in individually, they will look for a streamer with a larger audience and broader interests.
Streams such as LoLNatsumiii’s and especially alkali_layke’s provide exactly that and they seem to be able to achieve it very consistently. This is apparent since both streamers have followers and subscribers who have been watching their streams for months and even years. Therefore, these streams could even be considered as something like regular get-togethers of friend or fan groups. A drawback to these streams, however, is that it is harder to get noticed the larger the stream is, since there are a lot more people typing in chat.
Considering the importance of the co-experience-factor for the potential social identification of a viewer with a stream is also relevant. Looking at the audience members of the analyzed streams, there seem to exist a few different types. Among the active audience members, there seem to be those who participate in the chat sporadically, either by making a comment, asking a question or by just stating that they will be lurking
82 during the stream. They sometimes get responses from the streamer directly or from their moderators and other viewers. Their influence on the general stream experience depends on whether the streamer is interested in the topic or just enjoys communicating with their audience. And then there are those who are more invested in the participatory aspect in the stream. They are usually regulars who communicate a lot about various topics throughout the stream. This becomes apparent when streamers use the viewers actual names or refer to events from passed streaming sessions. Often, they also support the streams financially by subscribing which at the same time ensures them more influence on the stream. Of course, every stream also has a significant number of viewers who are just watching without ever using the chat. This is notable because of the discrepancy between the number of viewers and the number of active participants (see Tab. 4). But even their experience is being influenced. Because the active viewers’ participation in its different forms and with its various topics makes up a distinctive part of every stream.
83 Conclusion
The overall objective of this thesis is to ascertain how popular, successful streamers on the video game live-streaming platform Twitch are initiating and facilitating engaging interactions with and among their audience members. To do so, I at first explored which types of interactions are typically taking place during Twitch streams.
Based on the results, I analyzed how these interactions could be interpreted regarding their effect on the processes of individual and social identification for both the streamer and the audience members. My review of the relevant literature has brought me to the conclusion that individual and social identification are key reasons for why people on
Twitch are watching streams. However, they are elusive concepts which are difficult to determine. For that reason, I chose four theoretical concepts, parasocial interaction, self- disclosure, group identitiy and co-experience, based on which I interpreted the types of interactions I found in the streams. The potential levels of parasocialness and self- disclosure during the streams served as indicators for potential individual identification, and the evaluation of group identities and co-experience served as indicators for potential social identification.
As cases for my study, I chose five individual streamers from four different games. Three of the streamers are mainly playing the same game (LoL), so as to allow for a comparison of their similarities and differences in interactions. The other two streamers each play stylistically different games. Additionally, the streamers are distinguished by their status on Twitch. One of them is a small streamer, three of them are Twitch
Affiliates, and the last one is Twitch Partner. Each status comes with different
84 requirements (stream time, number of followers, average number of viewers) and indicates the streamer’s popularity on the platform. In the span of two weeks (Feb 4th –
Feb 17th) I recorded 40 minutes from one streaming session of each streamer.
I summarized the interactions I found in the recorded streaming sessions into five major categories: gameplay commentary and analysis, topic-based interactions, streamer- focused interactions, viewer-focused interactions and interactions based on followers and
(re-)subscriptions. Each of the categories was represented in every stream. But I found substantial differences based on various factors, including the main game of the streamer, their individual personalities, and the composition and size of their audiences. For example, the average pace of the matches in each game largely influenced the streamers ability to interact with their viewers. The slow-paced card game, Hearthstone, allowed the streamer to talk to her viewers extensively during matches. The players of the other, faster-paced games could hardly focus on their audiences while playing a match.
Regarding the influence of the stream’s size, the smallest of the five streamers was able to hold comparatively long and consistent conversations with his one active viewer. The streamer with the highest number of viewers (339 on average) could hardly focus on talking to one of her viewers for more than a minute at a time before the next subscriber- massage interrupted her.
Coming to the evaluation of the interactions based on the four theoretical concepts, it is overall possible to say there are general tendencies which the interactions across all streams seem to share. Generally, the streams tend to promote more parasocial than truly social interactions, and low rather than high levels of self-disclosure. Group
85 identity seems, for the most part, to be constructed deductively rather than inductively; the level of co-experience the streams appear to facilitate were mostly intermediate.
These results are perhaps not surprising considering their shared core elements. Streams on Twitch are naturally entertainment-oriented, gaming-focused and one-sided media events with people who do not necessarily know each other in real life. Significant portions of every stream are dedicated to gameplay and increasing viewer numbers hamper smooth conversation.
However, there were still at least some significant differences between the streams which should not be ignored since they seem to have a major impact on the success of the streamer. There were multiple instances in four of the five streams when there appeared to exist a genuine social connection between the streamer and their viewers based on their interactions. Some of the streamers shared rather personal information about themselves, some of them payed a lot of attention to their individual viewers’ interests and encouraged them to partake in discussions. And in every recorded stream there were moments of relevant participation and cognitive communion, indicating the overall importance of co-experience for streaming on Twitch. And, interestingly, the size of the streams was not the decisive factor. The second largest stream, for example, was overall more social, interactive and had a more inductively oriented group identity than two streamers with significantly less viewers.
During the discussion of the results, I came to the conclusion that the possible forms of individual identification between a streamer and their viewers, as well as the potential for social identification with the stream as a community, are likely to be highly
86 variable on Twitch. Individual identification could reach from two people talking to each other, over an audience member watching someone do what they are good at, up to being a member of a friend of fan group of a popular person. Social identification of the viewer with the stream’s audience as a group could also take various forms. An audience member could be interested in just watching a streamer or a game they enjoy as part of a group. They also have the opportunity to influence their fellow viewers’ stream experience by adding to an ongoing, shared topic or by bringing up a new, individual topic themselves. Another facet of social identity might also develop through the possible conversations with the other viewers. Since significant parts of the audience, especially of the larger streams, appear to be regular viewers, it might be possible to establish consistent social connections based on the continuous, conjoined experience.
Methodological Critique
There are multiple points regarding the application of research methods in this thesis that require critical reflection. I attempt to shortly address the most important ones in this section. Firstly, the comparability of the streamers suffered from the low number of subjects I analyzed. Since I only looked at one streamer from the card game
Hearthstone and the shooter games Overwatch and Apex Legends – who may not be representative of the games’ streaming communities – the comparisons I made are lacking in reliability. The same goes for the comparability of the popularity statuses of the streamers. Further, I did not concretely address the variable of the streamer’s gender either in my literature review or the analysis. However, the results have shown that gender does seem to have an influence on the interactions taking place. Another key point
87 of criticism has to be made regarding the application of the theoretical concepts in this thesis. Each of them individually does carry relevancy for the interaction and live- streaming context of Twitch, as can be seen throughout the literature review. I also think the combination of the concepts holds a decent explanatory value. However, the abstractness of the concepts (and undoubtedly a lack of the appropriate elaboration regarding their interrelation and possible manifestation in the stream setting on my part) impeded their application during the analysis and thus dampened their value during the discussion of the results.
Outlook on Future Research
Despite the flaws of the study, it does hold value regarding future research on live streams. Considering the applied research method of a quantitative content analysis, I believe it would be highly productive test the results in a quantitative setting in order to test whether the types of interactions found could be typical for gaming live streams in general. Further, as mentioned before, a combination of the content analysis with guided interviews with both Twitch viewers and streamers, optimally from the same stream, would shine more light on the interactions’ value for the participants. Another promising opportunity would be to focus on live streams outside of the realm of video games.
Twitch has already begun to establish more options for variety streaming, including streaming categories for musicians, artists, sports, or even ‘Just Chatting’. It would be interesting to see how interactions during streams are influenced by the content focus of the stream. Also, as mentioned in the introduction of the thesis, live-streaming has reached almost all of the major social media platforms and it is gaining in quickly in
88 mainstream popularity. Especially considering the importance of social media influencers in marketing today, studying the possible or already existing marketing potential of the interactive live stream setting could be a fruitful endeavor.
