Resumo: This article discusses the interrelations between performance, digital consumption and interface features on the game streaming platform Twitch. Theoretical considerations on the three subjects are compared to the responses of 177 Brazilian Twitch users to an online questionnaire. Results indicate that, despite their importance for Twitch as social media, interfaces do not facilitate social interactions. The implied hierarchical relations between streamers and viewers is not only based on the expertise of the former group. Digital consumption demands that they demonstrate other abilities, such as the “entertain” performance. Twitch itself places additional technical and cognitive challenges on streamers and viewers, but its user base appears to be self-motivated enough to overcome those system obstacles.

Considerações teóricas sobre os três aspectos são comparadas às respostas obtidas através de um questionário online, respondido por 177 usuá- rios brasileiros do Twitch. Os resultados indicam que, a despeito da importância do aspecto de mídia social para o Twitch, as interfaces não facilitam a interação social. As relações hierárquicas implícitas entre os streamers e o público não resultam apenas da expertise dos primeiros. O consumo digital demanda que eles demonstrem outras habilidades, como a performance “entreter”. O próprio Twitch coloca desafios adicionais para os streamers e viewers, de ordem técnica e cognitiva, mas a base de usuários parece ser auto-motivada o suficiente para superar esses obstáculos do sistema.Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing2017-08-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa empírica, questionário on-line.application/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/130110.18568/cmc.v14i40.1301Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; Vol. 14 No. 40 (2017): MAIO/AGOSTO; 45-67Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; Vol. 14 Núm. 40 (2017): MAIO/AGOSTO; 45-67Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; v. 14 n. 40 (2017): MAIO/AGOSTO; 45-671983-707010.18568/cmc.v14i40reponame:Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo (Online)instname:Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)instacron:ESPMporenghttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/1301/pdfhttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/1301/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2017 Comunicação Mídia e Consumoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMontardo, SandraFragoso, SuelyAmaro, MarianaPaz, Samyr2018-04-11T19:00:33Zoai:ojs.revistacmc.espm.br:article/1301Revistahttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/oaiPRIhttp://revistacmc.espm.br/index.php/revistacmc/oaithoff@espm.br||revistacmc@espm.br1983-70701806-4981opendoar:2018-04-11T19:00:33Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo (Online) - Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)false
