Are you annoyed when creators post livestream links?

[Kura]

At this point pretty much all artists have fallen victim to the "mark as read" habit of mine because I apparently follow too many artists that over post their streams (every day or multiple announcements for the same stream) So yeah, pretty much because of artists that do this I don't check any artist wall posts anymore =/

I really wish there was another option for announcing livestreams on tapastic.

As a response to those who said "if we're interested we are already subbed to them on picarto", all I have to say is uhhhh nope. Back when I did streams all the time, I tested out not wallposting about it and I always had fewer viewers and people were annoyed that I DIDN'T wall post about it because they missed the streams. As for posting twice about the streams, once again; I recieved complaints were people ASSUMED that the stream already ended and they thought they missed it when in fact it was still running.

Creators can't do anything without someone being grumpy about it '-' Someone complains about something, you go change it. That person is happy, but then another person comes along and complains wanting it back to how it was.

I'm more annoyed when people treat Tapastic updates like it is Twitter or Facebook. One guy I subscribed to, would post three or four stupid one-sentence updates, a day. Needless to say I unsubbed quickly. That aside, i don't mind streaming updates too much, as long as they are not very frequent. Then again, I'm following like, 70 comics, so I guess I cannot complain much.

Livestream links dont bother me. Not gonna say I'm not a person to not watch livestream, I just have a lot of stuff to do myself and right now my attention span tends to be shot when it comes to things like watching livestream.

I'm not annoyed by notifications in the slightest and they're incredibly easy to ignore. I'm amazed people bother to actually unsub artists for this. If livestreams are being posted more than once it means they DON'T HAVE VIEWERS, and big shock, reposting about it when someone new may be online might just have someone else pop in to visit them while they draw. If streams aren't your thing, I get it, but when you're a creator, connecting with your fans and viewers is amazingly easy through streams and makes a stronger fan/creator bond sometimes. If someone were to unsub an artist for daily stream notifications (I dunno maybe they do this for a LIVING and it's a nice way for them to stay focused and connect with viewers at the same time) that are easy to ignore, the only thing I can think is you weren't invested in their story at all in the first place. Because being invested in a story would mean you'd simply click the tab and move on and wait for the newest exciting plotpoint to be revealed, and that you genuinely care about the world and characters but just aren't interested in the streams.

If someone unsubbed me for something as trivial as a lil red notification number, I'd say good riddance since they couldn't be bothered to click the dropdown and move on, and then continue to stream for the folks who wanted to hang out. Because IMO that's petty.

Whoa, there's an important difference between "if we're...." and "if I'm..." I think most of us are merely sharing our individual preferences. This isn't about how doing it in a certain way is objectively wrong. Quietly unsubbing because of too many notifications isn't objectively bad, and neither is posting stream notices every day.

I don't really mind then posting links to their livestream, but I really wish it was on twitch because picarto doesn't work for me (-_-)/

[Louistrations]

They're a little annoying. It's mainly because of my time zone though, which means most livestreams happen in the middle of the night when I can't watch. Plus, I also receive an email and an app notification for every livestream.

[SpavVy]

Eh, not really? If they do it all the time then yeah I will get annoyed.

In general though, I get irritated when artists post on their wall all the time like it's twitter.

People getting annoyed at everything on Tapastic is why I hardly ever post any updates on here.
I'd rather post my livestream announcements on my social media where people actually want to see them :/ Everyone on here's reading hundreds of comics so I can see why constant spam would get annoying, though. I do wish there was a feed of everyone you follow at your own leasure instead of just getting notifications.
