There are which streamers make people wait several minutes to several hours for the stream to start. You find it stupid to be notified that the stream supposedly starts even though nothing comes
I don't follow such streamers. Although this is normal for several minutes. Because the streamer wants as many viewers as possible so that as few as possible miss the beginning.
Several hours would be new to me.
Well, it's stupid when the stream starts and it starts instantly. Most of them would then be late.
I only know it in a few minutes, and that's because non-subscribers sometimes get advertising when they click on the stream, so they don't miss anything. Also, most viewers don't come until a few minutes after the stream starts, as notifications are usually not sent immediately.
In addition, the streamers often ping their Discord and Post notifications, for example on Twitter, only after they go live and this takes a few minutes. And then there's still waiting for the non-subscribers to receive an advertisement.
