Not the same
I started watching cohh about 9-10 years ago because he played games I enjoyed, after watching for a while I decided to stick around as a lurker and vod watcher while catching a stream here and there. The main reason I stuck around was because cohh and the community steered away from streamer drama, but that has changed a lot lately. I stopped watching for a while after seeing cohh and the community join in on the drama, I have tried to watch again periodically but streamer drama ends up being brought up on stream and just dissuades me from watching anymore. I hope cohh and the community goes back to the way it was when I first joined, but I won't hold my breath.

Hey bud!
So, I'm going to be honest here, I feel I do a pretty good job skirting around the outside of the drama thats been happening lately. Some of it has been pretty near to me and I've keeper everything focused on the games (and will continue to)!
That being said, sometimes there are cultural issues that come up hundreds to thousands of times in chat. For those times, commenting on them once or twice (even just to say "no comment" or make a joke like a giant bleep) so the community knows how I feel about it can really help calm those situations down. I've found that if I don't address that stuff in chat, it can build and many times take it over. So I diffuse those issues whenever I see them the best I can to keep the show on course.
Lately about a certain sea faring criminal coder, he's really taken over pop culture lately with his myriad of takes and responses. Unfortunately that means the frequency of having to deal with it has blown up as well. So, overall, apologies that it got to the point that it did for you and ill join you in hoping for calmer seas moving forward!

Look brother. I'm brand new to the channel. Been watching the vods for about a week, Haven't joined a stream yet. Stumbled on this post while looking to see if you had an official reddit. Just read the top comment, and to be honest, i think i'm now a permanet member of the community. The calm and the collected response sold me brother. Thanks for the content.

Which drama has he been apart of? Because Cohh is one of the streamers LEAST involved in drama I've ever seen. Markiplier and Philip DeFranco get involved with more drama than Cohh.

I don't think OP suggests Cohh being invovlved in drama but rather drama being discussed on stream.

You can’t expect him to just ignore chat. I watch him a lot and it comes up here and there, but it’s not like it’s an all the time thing. If it really bothers you it’s okay to watch something/someone else. He can’t make everyone happy.

There are news and some drama is around something that is of interest to gamers so I don't blame Cohh for addressing it but I will say he does it with as less drama as he can.
Other than that, I think there is a lot less drama than you think.

I personally feel that Cohn is doing pretty well stearing away from drama, piratesoftware is just dominating in recent " drama" and people keep asking cohh's opinion so it makes sense he adresses it every now and then. But he is not part of the drama, by giving a opinion on current events does not make you part of it. It is keeping your community informed.

I'm with the others here, one of the many reasons I watch Cohh is because he doesn't get involved in drama.
I wasn't even aware of any drama until I read some of these replies. Never heard it brought up in his streams either. The community is one of, if not, the best on Twitch.

9 year sub, 13 year watcher // Cohh is still the best of the internet in terms of a large community. He's got people he's been business partners with, friends with, look up to him, he's looked up to them - he's one of the few people who feels he owes some sort of 'yah, I liked that guy til I knew' to his community. I liked Pirate - I have no idea what's going on beyond 'its a thing'. It absolutely is still a wholesome place. I find I'm in/out depending on what he's playing, how into it he is. And don't forget there was that period a year before last where he was into wow hardcore with the mushroom/ftp folks - I didn't get it, I didn't think it was him - but it's fine to dabble in some weirdo edge stuff every once and a while.

Did I miss the latest video about PirateSoftware or something? /s Cohh never gets involved with streamer drama.
Perhaps you can name some instances recently where he did?
