What bugged me about the latest interviews

Hi, i was watching all the streams that got blessed by Steven and his willingness to answer all kind of community questions. Talking about Dungeon Crawler Network, Paradox Gaming Network, Simurgh and The Golden Feather. I really enjoyed most of it and maybe I am the only person thinking this way but there were problems especially in production quality and communication etiquette. I don't want say it happened equally frequent in all streams but i guess i want to mention every content creator considering their influence.
Don't take the following as critique but as feedback, I would be happy to admit that I am wrong but only as as soon as you make me believe that, so argue away.
Ok I am talking about mostly i guess production quality that results in communication faux pas.
Typing (audible annoying),
Mouse clicking (are you playing !osu or what is going on there, also audible annoying)
Of course some people are not annoyed by that but for me it is the equivalent of a group of people in real life, person A is asking person B a question and as soon as person B starts answering the question person A starts typing on their phones (with typing sounds enabled).
Maybe I am old fashioned and to sensitive but in real life i would really be offended and i cant say that Steven is annoyed by that but i am.
Yes I know not everyone can buy a great microphone and nor do i say that you can't listen and understand everything while typing but you also wouldn't take every chance to offend human being. There is a second way to talk in voice chats.
And as I stated maybe I am just the only person annoyed by that and nitpicking here but it is something that always bothers me when i interact with people in Discord or any voice chat.
At last, thank you content creators for doing this informational work, I wouldn't be able to do your job. I am sure you guys are the entrance for many people to find out about the game that is Ashes of Creation. That means please don't stop doing what you are doing.
Thanks for reading

There are times when hosts need to respond to chat and/or look up info in order to respond later to something that was mentioned in the discussion. Sometimes, it's necessary to type in order to adjust stream settings.
Hosts don't always have to listen to the answer in real time - sometimes the answers are more for the viewers than the host(s)... and the hosts can listen to the answers later while editing or rewatching the interview.
Hosts typically do attempt to keep extraneous sounds to a minimum, though.
And, always helps to get feedback from viewers!!
And even if there is a need to manage the community or type something w/e, just mute yourself. All eyes are on Steven anyway when he answers a question. It just feels so unnecessary.
Ty for the second perspective.
they can easily mute their mic or use push to talk tho
