There’s a use for the streams, some people enjoy watching them. Personally I don’t have the free time for it as I want to play games (not always wot).

Replay sites definitely have their purpose, again I don’t use them on a systematic basis lately. But it can be very interesting to evaluate a different players playstyle from the driving seat seeing how they see it and what they do. I’ve uploaded some of my games through dropbox to share them with a friend once to explain things about a particular tank while he watched the replay file and me talking on teamspeak. It definitely has a purpose but it isn’t for everyone.

Learn to accept that it is there, it’s entirely optional and you have to go out of your way to get there: don’t complain and whine about it. Just do your thing and ignore it no need to start an argument about it.

Jingles knows he isn’t the best player around and he has mentioned it many times over and while that is the case he’s far above the average player out there. He mainly gets by on personality and he has a good voice for presenting videos.

When it comes to QB? I simply don’t have the time to watch his streams, between books to read, world of tanks to play when other games don’t take priority and some streams related to entirely different things that aren’t even computer game related in the slightest I have a hard enough time to keep up.

I do find QB’s content useful, the summaries of a patch can come in handy. I don’t agree 100% with his opinions on tanks, but it’s usually a fair summary from his point of view and it is a good starting point to then investigate the tanks I’m interested in in detail later with the WotTankViewer program and some common test server testing prior to it going live. When it comes to livestreams I liked the old ones with Ectar, but besides that I don’t really make time for them anymore.

A few people have complained about his attitude towards other streamers etc being mentioned, well maybe a bit too harsh but I don’t care to be honest the chat is something I rarely bother with. Due to the opinionated childish masses on twitch chat I feel he’s entirely justified, any channel that isn’t running sub only chat is a timebomb waiting to explode. QB fans will freak out about anyone preaching the word of another streamer and then the arguments about who’s better. It is as bad as religious “discussions” where you’ll never convince the other guy. Better to just prevent it entirely in the public chat it really improves quality of life for both mods and the streamer by reducing stress factors :)
