[ESO Stream Team] could the listings page have a blurb about what they stream?

If I'm to watch any of them at all for a mere chance at a crate, I'd like to know what they stream and what time they are most likely to stream.

For example, if it's straight gameplay all the time -- sorry to gameplay streamers, but I'd rather play the game myself than watch someone else play. I'm sure different people have different preferences too.

    The only ones I can think of who, mostly, ignore their chat are Alcast and Fengrush. I suppose, technically, Fextralife as well, but that's a special, weird case.

    Ninja614, Katie, MilkViper, Tech & Junk, and Kyle Dempster are all very active with their chats. Actually, Bert is really good about getting people from chat in game with him.

    There's also some like @Xynode, and @Inklings who actively seek to teach viewers, so you're going to learn something about the game watching them. For example, when Xy runs a dungeon, he's going to talk about how the mechanics work while he's in there. There may be some dismay from the PUG he's in there with, but his content is instructive.

    Quick follow up, a big part of finding streamers you enjoy is a personal taste issue. They're playing content you (probably) know, so the real draw is the streamer, not the gameplay.

    Second, a lot of players, myself included, will watch a streamer while playing. Even if I'm not in ESO, I'll stick Kyle or Ryan on and screw around in game, while also participating in their chat on my laptop. It's something that came up when Kyle and I were talking with Ninja on the podcast this week, though if that was during on air segments or not.

    One of the joys of MMOs is, all of these other people are in the world with your right now, and you can participate. (Now, obviously, if you're on single monitor setup, that'll impact your ability to multitask like that.) Also, some people do watch streams at work as background. Obviously, that depends on what your job is, but, still.

    Ultimately, you're going to need to check streamers, and see who works for you. Who jives with your preferences? Who do you like watching?
