I guess there's a few reasons, and I'd say the main ones are people are generally lonely and seek community. Spaces they can enter and immediately feel welcomed and not so lonely, even if it's spamming a chat with 50,000 others that don't even interact with them in the end. The next is a similar reason: people follow the trends. What's popular and who is liked the most. To be part of that is like being liked and popular yourself; the idea that you're part of that more elite trend.
People don't feel those dopamine rushes in emptier groups, where chats are slow and the sense of community is thin.
That is BAFFLING to me! I get the lonely and seeking community part but I don’t understand how large busy chats provide even a semblance of that. I guess it’s exciting when the streamer notices you but I get that dopamine from going into a chat with no one and making the streamers day 😆 maybe that’s where I get my elitist kicks from, I don’t know.
My favorite streamers so far (only 2-3 months on twitch) have around 3-10 people in their chats. I can feel community there. But I enjoy having a streamer to myself as long as they are somewhat interesting
Do you watch streams or have tou ever streamed?
I don't really have the time to do that, but there were a few art related streams I liked. A lot of them talk about philosophy and spirituality. A few years ago I would also stream and had a decent following forming, but I didn't have much privacy back then so I sort of fell out of the routine. I've thought about making some travel related stuff, videos and perhaps streams. I think they could be fun; displaying travel and culture a bit more. Interacting with people in the process.
I did actually recently buy a sim card wifi modem but I pretty much got scammed by the carrier and have tried to return it. I'll probably get another that isn't locked to a carrier and consider that stuff again.

I hardly go on social media and that’s because I’m mostly busy but if I do so, it means there’s always something for me to learn
I’m still very young but getting old so there is no time to waste on irrelevant things
