As a streamer I would say that a streamer should never act as if no one is watching. Many viewers never feel like chatting and that's fine. And sometimes people will watch vods after the fact. For myself, I purposely disable the metrics so that my mood can't be affected by viewership numbers.
Proper attitude. I run radio based streams. That means I always have to work with 100% concentration on _mixer_ / twitch. Even though I leave the metrics on, the work is always done for a (fictional) audience, otherwise the quality of my recording suffers (I record all my live session with audacity)
I stream for artistic expression, BTW so an audience or not matters little

Thats a great tip, I didn't even know that was possible with Twitch.
If you're using the Creator Dashboard, click on the numbers and they change to -- symbols.
