even the darkest of nights can be beautiful if you know where to look

ok so something I've noticed is a lack of respect for artists in their own streams. people speaking out on ideas and even going as far to state tehy are leaving because ideas make them uncomfortable. so I figure i would point out a few rules that are kinda expected of stream watchers.
1. Don't speak out against a artist creativity.
This is the major one. some people feel the need to push their opinions on others and ruin someones idea because they personally don't like it then it shouldn't be done. or at least that is how they think. a polite stream watcher would just shrug it off or leave if it really makes them uncomfortable. which leads into the next point.
2. DON'T announce your leaving because of content.
some artists motivation is very fragile and people saying things like "I'm leaving because this idea makes me uncomfortable." or "This idea goes against my views" can seriously harm their motivation. a polite stream watcher would leave quietly and perserve the streamers motivation for those that do stay to watch.
3. STOP ASKING FOR FREE ART!!
this is another major one. a person streams and instantly people start swarming to them to bug them about getting art. perferably free. every artist has the right to charge for their work as it is time taken out of their lives to put together the image. even digital artists need a income of some sort. as the tools for doing said art is not cheap. a decent tablet can cost enough that people like me who only get about 400 a month can't reasonably purchase a replacement if their tablet was to break.
4. LINKS STOP WITH THE LINKS
some artists allow links to be shared on their stream. but that is one a few. the polite watcher will ask if the artist minds if you share a link. ESPECIALLY IF IT IS TO SOMEONE ELSE'S ART!
5. Roleplaying
this while minor in my eyes can be a big problem for others. most streamers don't like it when you roleplay on their stream. so before you start humping the shit out of someone on their stream etc... make sure they don't mind it.
and with that last one that is some of the basic Stream Rules people seem to forget. while the free art is alright if the artist is offering just don't bug them or ask them unless it is offered.
