AB2012: In fact, when I look for gameplay footage to decide if I want to buy it, or perhaps a walkthrough for a puzzle solution, I always search for "no commentary" stuff for a reason..
The problem with this is that, when searching "no commentary", since your search term includes the word "commentary", you are bound to get results that say "with commentary" (or something similar), which is clearly *not* what you are looking for. MightyPinecone: - To many viewers. To me, the main point with a stream compared to a let's play is the interactivity; this is lost when there are too many people in chat spamming memes.
One tip: If the stream is a major event (like SGDQ, which is coming up), there may be some individual streamers hosting the big stream; the chat on the hoster's stream is going to be far less chaotic than the chat on the main stream. (I think this is going to be true even if the main stream's chat is subscriber-only, as happened at AGDQ.)
