It was over 50 years ago, and you’ve seen video of the assassination all throughout your life. Hell, I’ve seen it multiple times in public school. I chose a picture with no gore and blurred the background. Sorry to offend.

Glad I got a nod, but Bob Ross deserved to win.

I never really ‘got’ Wolverine until the past month or so when I read both Old Man Logan and the 2008-2010 X-Force. It’s amazing what good writers and fantastic artists can do with a character (and bad talent can have the adverse effect). Needless to say, Logan went from bottom of the barrel to top 10 in Marvel very…

My personality is fine. The fact that all you care about is the ‘last word’ has more in common with your personality than my in jest username has to do with mine, no? If getting the final jab is all that matters: I leave it to you.

Thanks for an actual answer. Didn’t know Twitch had done this kind of thing before; I thought Bob Ross was the outlier.

Yyyyyyyeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh.

That is all.

Seriously, yours is the only comment so far that a) hasn’t belittled my question, b) attempted to answer my question, and/or c) hasn’t thr own any shade. Thank you.

Gotta be a record. 28 replies before somebody made that joke. You deserve a cookie.

Sorry, but at what point did I even imply that it ‘bothers’ me? Just because I don’t understand something doesn’t mean I’m upset by it. I don’t understand nuclear thermodynamics, but it doesn’t bother me. Oh, wait, this is the internet, so either I love something or I want to nuke it, right?

Pretty much this:

But, you see, every other example you showed is a live experience. Bob Ross is not. I think people here are finding that I’m ‘complaining’ about people watching The Joy of Painting. I absolutely am not, not even a little bit. My confusion - or lack of understanding, rather - stems from 2 things:

Bob Ross was and is amazing, and the more people that get to experience his program the better. I just don’t ‘get’ how Twitch is that platform.

And 100% live. The Joy of Painting is not live, and that’s where my ‘I-dont-get-it-ness’ comes in to play.

As I’ve stated a bunch here (who knew Bob Ross on Twitch was so highly regarded?) I love Bob Ross to the moon. I’ve watched him countless hours, and have ZERO problems with people watching his wonderful program in any way. The question I pose, is why Twitch? Twitch is made to watch and interact people live, not to…

I’m totally for everything you said there. As I’ve told others here, I’m okay with people watching Bob Ross on any platform. The only question I have is: why Twitch? When your model is watching and interacting with people live, a 20-year old tv program falls outside of those parameters, no?

Sorry, but saying I’m simply playing ‘Devil’s Advocate’ is false. If it’s about interacting with the audience, then ok. We can go with that. As for the medium, watching a 20-year old program as a group is not exactly Twitch’s forte, as in its completely outside of their business model. I can understand watching…

I agree with every point you made, and now that The Joy of Painting is available, I plan on watching the hell out of it. The simple question is: why Twitch?

Bob Ross is amazing. The new creative platform of Twitch is amazing. But wasn’t Twitch created to interact with the streamer? Bob can’t exactly interact anymore, and I suppose that’s the part where I get lost.

Hey, when it come down to it, the more Bob Ross in the world the better, even if I don’t ‘get’ it.
