@KaraLG84 that is one of my failings :) in my very slight defense generally I don't get a huge amount of messages coming in so it's relatively easy to figure out what a comment is in reply to, but it's still something I'm working on being better about :)

@weirdwriter @KaraLG84 The flipside of that is, constantly hearing chat coming in can be really distracting for various other target audiences, screen readers could be reading out very different things than just chat when, say, a random notification fires, different people want different peech rates etc. so just having your screen reader blast during a stream is generally not a great idea. Some people have their chats go to stream but again, there's a bunch of reasons why one might not want to do that as well. Your overall point is well made though, having messages read out loud before responding to them is a good thing to do and something I myself try to improve on in my streams :)

@weirdwriter @KaraLG84 exactly and particularly when you watch an archive or VOD or whatever you want to call it, it's not always easy (e.g. mobile) to see the chat scroll, so at least giving an indicator is a good idea. I am generally pretty good about at least indicating Who I'm responding to, or somehow including the question in th eanswer, (Yes, I am indeed using XY), but I am very cognisant of the fact I do forget at times and it's one of my improvements I want to make :)
