In the last quarter of 2021 Spanish-speaking streamers generated more than 605.6 million hours watched on Twitch, according to a report from Stream Charts. Ivan Tajonar, known as vantaj_ online, was one of them.
From San Diego, Tajonar has been streaming on Twitch since March 2020 when the pandemic began and currently has more than 3,000 followers on the popular streaming platform.
KPBS spoke to Tajonar before TwitchCon about streaming and what he's looking forward to most about the convention. Below is the interview, lightly edited for clarity.Well, one of the main reasons I started streaming was because the pandemic, right. Like, a lot of people started doing it because of that, because you couldn't go out and just finding something to do.
There's a lot of controversy about Twitch, especially in regards to kind of the uglier side, like the hate. How do you combat that in your streams and just on the platform in general?So, I feel the best ways to combat that is to, first of all, get loyal viewers, once you have that trust with the viewers, getting moderators for the channel, that's really important. They can filter those type of activities from random Internet people.
