Twitcher

Tom's neighbour is a bit of a curtain twitcher.

I do not consider myself either a twitcher or an expert.

The Twitchers interact with their audiences in multiple ways in order to create communities.

Some messages warn against not being fooled, and that YouTubers or Twitchers should be somewhat absolved because “it’s their job” (C2), with the “dirty rotten system” (C2) to blame in which “EA decides who get what” (C2). […] Players post messages stressing the differences between themselves and streamers, with “regular folks are forced to earn … wins in fut champs” (C1; C3) while YouTubers or Twitchers “get given wins by their viewers” (C1; C3).

Popular Twitchers (live streamers) build and cultivate devoted communities of fans where hundreds and even thousands log on to watch their broadcasts of whatever it is they want to share with the world.
