Shared Hype Train really seems to be going big. This new feature will allow the community to join in on the hype with a partner streamer in unlocking limited emotes from artists such as /maiberryart, /tacodemuerte, and /toffeetokki. But here’s the bad news: the emotes will be removed on June 20, so be quick to grab these collectibles.
Besides the announcement of this feature, Twitch’s official Twitter account went on to showcase a lovely promo starring streaming stars Fanfan and Arthur-who, by the way, was quite a spectacle for the community. One very opinionated voice in the street named Sailor simply stated that it was “Wild” to see them in an official Twitch ad. Others took that opportunity to compare the new feature with TikTok.
Those going about claiming a lack of hype for the feature were just going off-topic. Craig Ferkie requested for Twitch CEO Dan Clancy to be sacked immediately, pretty awkward. GPHustla, on the other hand, gave the tweet a desperate shout to have his banned account reinstated, saying he was streaming a world record 24/7 marathon at the time of his banning. Sheesh, bad timing.
Of course, there was some confusion-which forms the basis for an entirely different thread: So how does this really work? Quillster took the real shot: “Do they split the earnings?” Considerable point here. If two streamers are sharing a Hype-Train who then receives the cash? Variety in response viewpoints came from LetsPlayNintendoITA, speculating both streams activate the train but the awarding would probably continue to be a worthy mess. La Mer then brings up the real problem: Sometimes the viewers in the co-stream do not get their Hype Train rewards. Twitch, maybe fix that first?
Wouldn’t be a Twitch announcement without some chaos. Somebody questioned why they were allowing “streamers supporting terrorists.” Others just said, “PirateSoftware x Neuro collab for Pray” begged Grace Yuki, and honestly, mood.
Hence Shared Hype Train is here, either to be the next big thing or another one that fades after a month. Either way, if you’re going for the exclusive emotes, that is your last chance, until June 20. All the while expect rough waters-Twitch community has never been too smooth.
And, if you’re still confused about how it all pans out, maybe just watch the promo again. Or not. Either way, the internet will surely keep talking about it anyway. Probably while arguing in the background, because that’s what we do.
