This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon can't fathom being interested in people if the reason is not sexual.

1 way streamer 'relationships' feel super weird and impersonal to me. It's like there's some kind of fantasy the streamer is personally invested in, and interested in, you, too.

Like maybe I'd watch a bit out of curiosity, like watching a sports team or something. But become paying 'patron' and watch them all the time?

To me it's just entertainment, not a relationship. But I'm starting to wonder if I'm the weird one. I often just watch the archives too, not even live.

I find some of them consistently amusing so I keep watching. At some point I think that it's only fair to contribute monetarily to help incentivize them to keep producing the entertainment I like.

To me it’s just entertainment, not a relationship.

I suppose I didn't mean to overgeneralize, this may why most watch streamers.

It seems more like a relationship to many, especially those that throw big bucks at these streamers, and basically live in the comment sections saying weird things.
