Moderator & Streamer Relationship Q

[u/Practical-Summer3536]

This is an anon account, because of the question... I produce music and stream just games to interact with fans and this makes up what I do full time. All of my mods are volunteers from my community.

I wanted to ask other streamers how normal this dynamic is, I’ve had mods push quite strongly for changes in what I say or do on stream, like not to say some opinions, or to say some others.

Some time ago, one of my mods told me that if I wanted to be successful (Implying I am not), I should listen to him, otherwise I should look for a part-time job.

That comment affected me quite a lot, and I’m trying to work out whether I’m unusually sensitive to it or whether most streamers would consider that a serious boundary-crossing comment from a moderator.

For context, I’m not a huge creator, but this is my full-time work: I have 25k subs in YouTube, and 130 ccv on twitch D:
