Most streamers publish the interesting parts of their streams on Youtube, and that's how I watch them.

I only watch live streams when it's like a game tourney, but even then they if it's important enough they also have a live stream on Youtube.

Not that I like youtube or anything, but that's how I interact with the streaming world.

I once attended a live stream on Twitch because I wanted to ask the streamer a very specific question. He had 15 viewers at that time, he read my question and answered it. Then I thanked him and logged off.
