It's understandable why this is a neat perk, but it also seems absurd when you look at Twitch as an entity owned by a global corporation.


Man oh man, big "No thanks" to a perk like that from me

"Hey, pick through everything I say with a fine-toothed comb and treat it as the official company stance!"


From prior (user) experience, typically staff have non-wrenched alt accounts for just chilling out in streams (with less concern about conduct, but generally tame by twitch standards). But will wrench up for higher profile streams or folks they're otherwise pretty close with personally.

I suspect that's a lot more controlled these days, but it wasn't very uncommon for signified staff to be trolling along with everyone else.
