Watching people play in person is way different from a stream.

Look at how many here sub and donate to streamers.
Why go out and make friends and socialize with real people when you cant just sit back and look at a stream and think you have a social life? Just another aspect of how social media is the worst thing ever.

Yeah, as I said previously: People being mean has very little to do with it. This shit is insidious.

In summary, he just didn't want to exist anymore.
He had friends, he had potential relationships, he had a social circles, he had a game with a promising future and interested investors, and he was sober leading up to killing himself.
None of it mattered. He could never get out of the crippling depression of his own head and was determined to make it all stop.

I had a friend who ended up in a psych ward after a suicide attempt. His story about Byron’s experience rings true: the “low cost options” are zoos where they mix the seriously insane with everyone else and it feels like a prison and you don’t want to go back. The high cost ones are like resorts, but cost shitloads of money (insurance sometimes covers some of it).

Hmm, was skipping through this a bit and there's a reaction vid too.
His final minutes in the reaction vid are ominous.
This was recorded only 3 months ago

That would make sense if Twitch was the only place to watch videos for background noise. Not like youtube with its billion interesting videos doesnt exist. Not like Netflix or Amazon Prime with its endless movies/tv shows dont exist.
Much like the thots and their girl friend experience, this is about a social aspect. If you just want noise there are far better places to get noise.

Noise is noise and I've done it all, if I'm engrossed in a game then whats on a 2nd monitor/tv doesn't really matter. I don't see how there can be "better noise".
Personally, loading up a twitch stream is much easier than trying to browse a library of movies/tv. I'm much more picky with movies/tv.

Drama = channel views = simps = donations/subs.
The twitch thots know how to work their target audience. Like moth's to flame. A lot of them play dumb/stay stupid stuff because they know someone will donate $5 "hahah no did u rly just say that?" just so they see their specific message

I've worked at multiple inpatient psych facilities in the past several years. Not sure about what "low cost" means, but most cost between 800-1200 a night in my experience. In my state, insurance would typically cover this whole process.
It really depends on the individual facility if populations of people get mixed. I've been in a facility that had high and low risk pops, younger pop and older pop and severe pops, and a smaller facility that mixed everyone (partially because its small and lacks the room to separate them). I worked the longest in the facility that had 3 units of younger, older, and severe and I would say that if it was possible, we never mixed seriously insane. Even at the other facilities we had locked rooms if people were a harm to others to separate them until they were safe for the general pop of the unit.
I'm not saying their accounts are wrong because I imagine there is all kinds of craziness that happens in these facilities, but its not all facilities.
I'll always fight for more funding for mental health. Its not in its final form, not anywhere close, but it has made big strides from several decades ago of torturing and starving people.

Well "seriously insane" is relative to their perspective, not a clinical perspective. It's been years since I heard their recollection, but they mentioned there were maybe a couple or few people with "serious" psychological issues in the same section with them, including one that needed orderlies to step in and stop them from doing shit to another patient when they got in an altercation with someone over a trivial reason. There was other stuff that they observed/happened while they were there, but I don't recall the specific details anymore.
