The popular streamer Alex ElCapo generated controversy in the Twitch community for harshly criticize those streamers who, according to him, limit themselves to broadcasting full episodes of anime without providing any type of additional contentIn a recent livestream, the content creator expressed his frustration with what he considers an unfair and worthless practice, calling these streamers “trash among trash.”

“I open Twitch and there are 500,000 people watching anime and nothing happens", said AlexElCapo, referring to the growing phenomenon of streamers reacting to anime episodes in their broadcasts. "There is a group that recommends to me for some reason that if it were up to me I would set fire to the Twitch offices.” According to his story, the streamer decided to explore several of these channels to see what they contributed to the anime's airing and was deeply disappointed to discover that, in many cases, the streamers don't even comment on what they are broadcasting.

“I'm not exaggerating, I got into the same one all the time... one person got out of the same one five or six times,” he explained. “I stayed for three or four minutes at a time, which would total ten or twelve minutes. And I swear to my mother that she's dying right now; I don't even know what that person's voice sounds like. Not a single word in 12 minutes.This lack of interaction from streamers led him to conclude that these people are fully aware that their content is "trash" and that they resort to these practices because they "don't have the ability to create content."

AlexElCapo's criticism isn't limited to streamers, but also to Twitch itself, which he accused of failing to impose clear consequences for those who choose this type of content.This makes me angry because we are in a situation where we don't all follow the same rules, which is what we always do.“, he lamented. “We don't all follow the same rules, and besides, there are no consequences. I just hate that, man."For him, it is incomprehensible that some content creators, with thousands of followers, are satisfied with offering something so empty and that they show no respect for their own work, nor for the intellectual property of the works they broadcast.

AlexElCapo also revealed that he has reported these situations directly to Twitch management, questioning the platform's policies: “I spoke directly to Twitch. I said, "Hey, can you do something about these anime channels?" Or what happens? Or do we have to continue to embarrass and shame everyone as a platform?His outrage points to what he considers a lack of consistency in the platform's rules, where certain practices are ignored while others, such as the transmission of explicit content, are strictly prohibited.

AlexElCapo's stance resonated with many in the community, who shared their frustration with what they saw as exploitation of the system and a detriment to the quality of content on Twitch. However, it also sparked debate about the limits of content creation and the responsibility streamers have to offer something beyond simply retransmitting copyrighted works.

• «This guy was watching Arcane live, right?».
• «Let people see what they want and create the content they want. Like a good left-hander, he only knows how to cry.».
• «I completely agree, it's a shame that your content is based on "anime reactions", just showing your face on the screen, making fake gestures and exaggerating. It should be banned.».
• «And doesn't this guy dedicate his content to playing other people's games? HAHAHAHA Don't you see the inconsistency in what you just said? They're both using each other's creations to get views».
• «I completely agree. If you create this kind of content online, you're trash. You don't grow because of your fame; you grow by copying and plagiarizing someone else's ideas. If it's difficult to grow on Twitch, don't use Twitch. There are other platforms to start with, and if you create good content, people will watch you for that. The day you can no longer watch episodes on Twitch, what will you do? People don't watch you; they watch the anime. And on that day, you'll realize how pitiful you are, and a depression you couldn't even imagine will set in.».
• «Talking to Twitch because you don't like something and want to take it away from others?».
• «I think it's ridiculous for a guy who's playing a game to criticize someone who watches anime on Twitch. Could it look bad to you? Okay, but you're not creating innovative content to say, "You do shit, you consume shit, and that's it." I mean, jsjsjsjs».
• «Rich people defending million-dollar companies is nothing new. Defending and protecting piracy should be a working-class obligation.».
• «Everything was fine until he said he spoke to the platform to take action, that seems so low to me... It's like he envies others for making a living in an easier way and taking advantage of a flaw in the system».
• «He's literally playing a trash game for trash content, like almost all of his live shows.».
• «That he'll personally report his complaints to Twitch, causing several creators to lose their livelihood? Look, you can criticize certain things, but you should never interfere with other people's work. What a despicable person Alex is.».
• «Honestly, I'm 50/50 with your opinion. I like seeing video reactions to content I've already consumed, but only if the person contributes something, comments on what they see, gives their opinion, etc. I don't know, I'm excited to hear what other people think.».
• «I agree that if you just watch anime, it's trash. But if you react, give your opinion, talk, etc., it's perfect. In the end, it's about entertaining the audience.».
• «The worst part is that they open Patreons so people pay to see the reuploads. Who the hell pays to see this shit?».
• «Before, we saw people with great aim, functionality, and organizational skills in video games, and now we have a guy cleaning things up while criticizing what people want to see. "Love for your content"».
• «I think he's specifically referring to those who watch something without speaking for 12 minutes, so he qualifies. I think so, at least.».
• «The reaction content is good, but at least it's not all the time. There are idiots like Late who react for 8 hours straight, wtf».
• «So, what constitutes good content? If everyone follows what's trendy, what gets the most views, what's trending, etc. Besides, they tend to act moralistically and end up looking like the typical bitter person, xd».
• «The real question is: what draws people to watch these reactions? First, we need to examine the root of why people watch them. Ultimately, it's entertainment. Anime isn't bad; it's simply an audiovisual medium that only has a bad reputation among hardcore fans.».
• «The lack of understanding people have on this social network is incredible, my God.».
