How long do you usually stay?
Untill stream end, usually multitask with use of dual monitor
What do you usually enjoy watching? 3D art is what holds my attention the most but that is a personal thing. I practice it myself and of course watching my own commission. Sometimes that's more fun then the commission itself. The process of getting it.
What do you usually enjoy hearing? I do like listing to the artsit comment on various things, sometimes they'll be a movie or a radio thing playing in the background or just good music which helps as well.
Do you stay around for the chat or for the art? If I had to pick one I'd say the chat, though the art is fun to watch too.
Does it help if the artist is part of the conversation?
Does it help if the artist is part of the conversation, but over voice? Yes and on, there are some artist out there that are just hilarious to listen to, though sometimes it's hard to partake in the conversation because you might be doing other things such as gaming and if you miss what they say then you'll find yourself asking "sorry what was that. Huh I didn't catch that" and so on.
How are you usually alerted of a stream starting? I don't really understand this question sorry.
What is the quickest way to drive you out of an artist's channel? Sometimes Streams just get kind of boring and there's not much that can really be done about that. Sometimes I tune out if things are just too slow or quite and other times I just go because I've got stuff I wanna do. I'd also like to mention that drama or meeting someone in the stream who I have a grudge against gets me to leave pretty quickly.
What times do you usually view streams? There's no set time, if I see one as I'm browsing I'll click it.
How long do you usually stay? Depends on the Stream but I'd say about half an hour or so.
Zero, usually watch 1-2 a month

The artist talking, music is OK so long as it's quiet and not too niche
Do you stay around for the chat or for the art?
Mostly the art, but sometimes the conversation is good

Animation is always good. People drawing cute characters. Not much for gaming streams in general.
