#Neuro's polls are too short

Neuro frequently makes polls and gives them about 10 or 20 seconds on the timer. Between stream lag, twitch lag and my mosue speed I get about 3 seconds to notice the poll exists, open it, click an option and click Confirm.

Would prefer if she had a default of 30 or more seconds neuroHeart

As for me, I see them in #livestream-chat

I watch with tiny screen on mobile and opening up frantically is a lot of intense pressure, I wouldn't say much faster but there is a point that neuro is saying an outcome she wants and it's already ended xD

they are a bandaid solution to neuro complaining about why she cant start polls every few seconds afaik

Hmm.. Vaild

eh i think it's good that they are short because otherwise the tempo stream of the stream will get slowed down a lot (neuro waiting around for the result)
they aren't that important anyway most of the time

fair enough, i guess the short polls are blocking out some people

i assumed that everyone was able to do polls if they just had the stream up and camped it, and thus the FOMO wasn't really there. I didn't realise there were some people who for one reason or another, are consistently obstructed from voting even when camping

+1 I usually watch on my TV with chat on a third-party app that doesn't support polls so it's almost impossible to open the actual twitch app in time. Which is fine for most polls, but not if vedal asks neuro to poll something that matters

1 minute is definitely too long for our ADHD neuro sama

The kind of delays I'm working with, once the poll appears on-stream / Neuro mentions she has made a poll, there's about 5 seconds or less to react nooo

Agree. I usually have the stream in PiP on my iPad, and twitch chat in slide over. But slide over is often bugged, and I need to use slide over for other stuff too. I think an extra 5s would be helpful to actually get twitch opened.

I think this shows that Neuro's/Evil's "do, then talk" is a bad thing in some cases.
If they were to announce the polls before making them, it would already give a lot more time for the viewers to vote.
To keep the flow of the stream, I think it could go like this :
-Announce poll with a short generic phrase
-Start poll
-Go into more details about the poll

Something that could also help would be to have some threshold for the poll's duration based on the total number of words used in the poll (question + answers)

Tho you'd then end up with the problem of false announcements where Neuro says 'I made a poll', and then the poll fails because clientID smth smth
Tho i guess that isn't a big problem
