🎭 Types of Difficult Viewers
😈 The Troll
Lives to disrupt and upset you for entertainment.
Warning Signs:
- Negative comments about appearance
- Trying to start arguments
- Spamming chat
- Fake tip sounds
Solution:
Immediate ban. Don't engage. Trolls feed on attention. One click and they're gone forever.
🦜 The Freeloader
Never tips but constantly makes requests.
Warning Signs:
- "Show feet bb"
- "Open bobs"
- Begging for free content
- Promising tips "later"
Solution:
Ignore completely or use humor: "Tips make me move!" Set chat to followers-only or tip-activated.
👑 The Entitled Tipper
Tips once and expects to own you.
Warning Signs:
- "I tipped, now do X"
- Demanding beyond tip menu
- Getting angry when ignored
- Trying to control show
Solution:
Thank for tip, remind of menu prices. "Thanks for the 10 tokens! That request is 100 tokens on my menu."
🕵️ The Stalker
Tries to learn personal information.
Warning Signs:
- Asking real name repeatedly
- Guessing your location
- Mentioning seeing you elsewhere

Uses guilt or sob stories for attention.
Warning Signs:
- Constant personal problems
- "You're the only one who cares"
- Threatening self-harm

Solution:
Set boundaries kindly but firmly. You're not a therapist. Suggest professional help if needed.
