This is only an issue for me when there is something I have to ask or say to streamer. It is not nice to see that my message gets lost among 100s of spam. Other than that, I hide the chat because it is pretty much unbearable, especially if the streamer is somewhat big. Like Thijs or Kripp.
While big streamers are big for a reason, this can be the appeal behind smaller streamers who have single, double, or at most low-triple digit viewers. There's usually less people spamming meaningless crap, and more good comments and conversation being contributed.
Last time I dropped in on twitch half the chat was spam of "BOOMER"
Yeah, i'll stick to youtube for hearthstone, bit of Kripp, bit of Trump, but of Firebat....not the most competitive or educational players, but fun, and don't feel my brain dribbling out my nose from reading the chat.
Twitch chat is its own loving, breathing entity. It is a hive mind, no, a coagulated mass of sludge that grows in power every time it inflicts its toxin on those most susceptible to its trolling. It is fueled only by frustration and tilt, and can never be killed.
Take solace knowing that there are so many in the world who’s life will peak at that said “KEKW,” and that outside of that vessel and echo chamber they lead lives that can barely be summed up to more than their “KEKW.”
They think they are part of a community, they want to be in trend, they want to be cool, they want to be funny... it's kinda sad but there's nothing to do about it, just a bunch of kids, and imagine if someone does that just to annoy someone else, imagine what kind of a human being would do some things to annoy other people.

OMG it really frustrates me too!
Everytime someone types KEKW I imagine someone trying to speak with a sock stuck in their throat..........
You're not prepared.

Mostly it is used to make light-hearted fun of someone's bad fate, like in HS it is mostly used to mock the streamer when some unlucky rng happens.
