Since you're accusing people of griping without any fact checking whatsoever.A pattern I see is angry ex-players who can't move on for whatever reason repeating each others trivial video gaming gripes without any fact checking whatsoever. Which isn't really feedback worth reading unless you fancy having a laugh.
It does very neatly explain downvoting a stream before it even starts though.
Where does this thread say folk were downvoting before the stream even started? As you claim. Because it looks like the whole basis of your argument isn't even true.
How many votes are we talking about? Do you know?
Why are you jumping to the conclusion that early downvotes aren't legitimate, I've cited 3 reasons in this thread I think could result in early downvotes.
